3) Don't recognize those. Maybe Brat fronts?

Thought this was an RC10GT rear shock tower but not sure, couldn't find a match on ebay. Any ideas?

Looks a lot like the Factory Works GT rear tower I have but it's definitely different. :|

Probably composite craft. I think theirs had the "x" section.

I just spent hours tonight sorting and ID'ing several boxes of misc parts...I have a few here that I can't ID, hoping for some help from the gurus (that's you guys). Some are pretty dirty, I know.

standard gold pan color, but I haven't seen this shape before...newer part? I admit, my knowledge of the more modern cars is lacking...

I kept thinking..."why the non symmetrical holes?!" But he nailed it. Those are for the spring that holds the glow plug battery.

What I have here, is what appears to be, a steel bushing. The size is 10mm tall, with a 5mm hole, and 4mm thick. Does anyone have a clue what this came off of? It was in my RC screw bin, so I am assuming it's RC related.

I need to find either a duplicate, or maybe a couple bronze bushings. I need to end up with two in the 10x5x4 size.

**ORRrrr** I need another way for a 15mm hole to accept a 5mm axle. I've found they don't make bearings like that with a 4mm depth. I have a 15x10x4 bearing, that I was hoping to slide a 10x5x4 bushing into, since they don't sell 15x5x3 bearings.

Tamiya M03M utilised 1050 bearings on the front and rear hubs, for something relatively recent. Going back a little further, the Kyosho Raider utilised 1050 bronze bushings in the gearbox and other places... those are just two examples.

I think the 1050 was Kyosho's standard 'normal' bearing, much like Tamiya's utilisation of 1150 bearings wherever possible. Any old Kyosho kit box / spares box should have heaps. If you can't find any local, let me know and I'll dig through a box or two.

Thanks a lot! It looks to be a Kyosho Optima bushing, and even has the same bevel on the inner circle. Makes sense, since I used to have an Optima 20 years ago.
