Weird, maybe they deleted their initial post and reposted it again after you answered. If not, I have no idea.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
I don't know what they are but the gear looks like it's got the same no. of teeth and pitch as the diff gear from a Tamiya Avante/Egress.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
Don't know what the white gear in the middle of the top row is but I can confirm the left one is from a Traxxas Bullet, and the aluminum one is from a MIP SP-1. The two black gears are out of a Kyosho Nitro Tracker and likely so is the outdrive cup.
Top row starting from the left looks like a front t-bar support off a Hyperdrive H10RS pan car, followed by a top plate and t-bar brace from a Speed Merchant 1/12 pan car. The carbon part right next to the Yoke tower might be a bumper from a 1/12 car...either Speed Merchant again or CRC. Don't recognize the other two parts.![]()
Looks like a motor AYK would've used in the early 80's.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
Li'l help?
These parts came in a lot that had mostly Tamiya parts (Avante, Mad Bull & Fighter, Supershot), but also had a few Ayk Buffalo, and Kyosho 4Runner/Pathfinder bits.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
I figured out the dogbones with the two rings in the center, and the thrust bearing parts are from an Astute/King Cab.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
I bought this graphite chassis plate from a fellow racer back in the late '80's but I never asked him who made it -- or maybe he told me and I forgot.
It is not woven graphite nor did it come with mounting holes for the Stealth transmission (I've recently drilled those myself) so I think it's a relatively early chassis.
Anyone know who made this?

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
There were a lot of "straight graphite" chassis back then. The original JRX2 comes to mind as a good example. Is that edge photo showing a sandwich of another material between layers of graphite? There was one company that sold a lot of chassis like that, maybe DA, with a wood core...??

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
Duratrax and Composite Craft come to mind. Can't remember the 3rd chassis maker that is usually with those two. But like Ascot mentioned there were a bunch. I'd assume that duratrax outnumber alot of them because they were one of the cheaper brands...

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
I'm pretty sure it's a Duratrax chassis. I believe you can tell by the number of screw holes along the side of the chassis...Duratrax had 6 on each side, while CC/Parma had 4 (might've been 5) on each side.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
How about this t-bar....anyone recognize it? RC10L2/L3 pod parts fit on it and it looks like a sunken t-bar used on some F1 cars. Has three holes in the back that look like they could be used to mount a wing.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
I think I have such wheels also at my wheels box, or at least had some.
They are made for Yokomo but I don´t think Keil sold them. I know of several Keil wheels but not these. Not perfectly sure but my bet would be on GM-Racing because they had wheels for CAT 2000 which look different but the overall make is very similar. You can notice this when having a look at the backside.

Never have seen this brace before but usually most of these anodized aluminium parts were made by GPM. If it feels lightweight and soft aluminium it' s this company
