The Official "What is it?" Thread

Thanks I believe y'all are right. Now time for a rebuild

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

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

Was Thumbs anywhere in the vicinity???

The lot of stuff I got today included these two very cool parts...

Any ID info would be appreciated...

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.

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!
...

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.

Also found this motor. I figured with the manufacturer name on the end, it'd be easy to find info. But that is not the case. Its a 540 size.

Looks like a motor AYK would've used in the early 80's.

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.

I figured out the dogbones with the two rings in the center, and the thrust bearing parts are from an Astute/King Cab.

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?

[AscotConversion]

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...??

[klavy69]

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...

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.

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.

Does anyone know who made those wheels?
Thanks in advance

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.

1st Does anyone remember who made the chassis brace and second do you remember what the yellow object was for

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
