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
You dug back into the archives to answer that one!!!! March 2017!!!!! Now if only we could work out what the question was.... :P :P :lol: :oops:

Mostly interested in finding out if the Blackfoot/Lunchbox bumper is a manufactured part or homemade but if you recognize the other bits please let me know what they belong to.

Also, it might not be part of this board's expertise but does anyone recognize this clutch & flywheel assembly?

Hi,
I would like to know in which car feat these Hyperdrive springs. Diameter is approximately 6mm (.24'') so larger than standard 10L front springs.
Thanks

The plastic box part on the right is is a stock clodbuster battery holder. It clips into the side of the plastic chassis to hold a 6 cell stick pack in place.

These springs were used with stepped washer and longer kingpins.

Any idea on these bodies, which were fitted to a trx1?

I think the blue/green one is S&K... the second one, not sure, has a cougar-ish look to it but I can't quite nail it :?

Thanks!

Both are Dahm's bodys...skinny one is a Torpedo, wide is a Terror. The Terror would fit the TRX-1.

Found that 1/12 scale pod in one of my boxes but can´t remember which car does it go for. Thought of Kyosho but don´t find matching photo.
Someone have an idea?

Checking onceuponatime.sblo.jp it looks like it's off a Mugen K2X Cosmic.

Thanks!
Of course it's Mugen.

Skinny one fits TRX-1 and / or JRX Pro SE. If you look closely, you might see alternative trimming guides / lines in the body (molded).
Hope you're doin' something fun.
