That would be an HPI RS4MT. They were a belt drive 4wd truck that was brought into the era when nitro stadium truck was ki da ramping down but pre lipo and brushless major popularity.
They had an inner body driver figure that kept dirt and debris out of the chassis with some of HPIs coolest truck bodies over top...imho.

Good stuff Special K... I was just checking the thread and saw the MT, and was going to respond, but you beat me to it. By a few hours!

Great resource, this place...

I also came up with these Trinity king pins. No idea what they fit after searching the web everywhere I could think of.

I would bet these are king pins for C hubs on a Kyosho Ultima.

I just verified it on my Ultima. You are correct sir! Thanks for the help.

I've got several items here that I am not able to narrow down. If anyone can help ID anything, please let me know. Thanks in advance!

I'm thinking my aluminum diff gear is an MIP B-3 for the SP-1 RC10 transmission. Comparing with the photos in https://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?t=30999. Anyone have actual dimensions of said gear?

Also found my ball diff: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Kyosho-Optima-Mid-Front-Ball-Diff-Set-W0107-BINK47-Vintage-RARE-/382423843533?_trksid=p2349526.m4383.l44720.c10&nordt=true&rt=nc&orig_cvip=true. Its an Optioin House front ball diff for an Optima Mid.

As previously mentioned:

the white gear diff below that looks like a traxxas design.

the U shaped black shock tower is yokomo 870c

White gear diff is for a Traxxas Bullet and the shock tower is for a Yokomo 870C/YZ10/C4.

3/19/19: Just found one of the chassis; the one with the large center cut out is for a Tamiya Terra Crusher.

Still working on the remaining gears and chassis components...

[matt1ptkn]

Can anyone help ID this chassis? There are no markings visible and the transmission is MIA. Thanks for any input!

Looks like a Team Cobra Nemesis

Awesome! Thanks, Jeff! Now to see if I can find any more of it...

[klavy69]

Yes, thanx Jeff. Have a sprint car that I've been looking at for several years with some possibilities but just haven't been able to find any parts to it myself. Now looking in this direction I might be able to finagle some OEM instead of the homebrew stuff thats on it now

it appears to be a Tamiya MK7 type 1/12 scale onroad chassis. the giveways are the tamiya style ballcups and front steering arms and servo saver.

[Bearded]

Bought this old foam tire car at a yard sell. Trying to figure out what it is any ideas. Has a kyosho motor if that's any help. Thanks

[jwscab]

wow I guess I can see the future! How the heck did my response get above the question?

[Basher67]

not sure, but you're right. Same chassis as my Tamiya 1/12 racemaster porsche
