The Official "What is it?" Thread

[Lonestar]

I need help identifying this basket case I got, looks like alot of parts for it in the boxes of junk it came in, some kyosho belts still in bags .. I'd like to get a manual so I could figure out what parts go to it and get it functional anyway, it's pretty cool all aluminum 'everything' ..

I'm thinking Kyosho F1 possibly with some hop up parts from GPM.

Guys do you know which brand these turnbuckles could be from please? I can't for the life of me remember where I got them from.... Should be easy.

Thanks!

Talked to the guy I got the stuff from, and he had to ask his boss which he got it from. Turns out the guy is a machinist and it started life as a kyosho slingshot but almost all the parts are homemade and its missing the main chassis and alot of other things .. so its a mutt ..

Not true confirmation as I didn't build it new but I just took these off my XX buggy.

Found this on the back of my shelf. Don't remember where/when I got it but this is how I got it with some Team Cobra parts.

I found this link https://www.rcscrapyard.net/bolink.htm#Racetech2
It looks like a Bolink LTO chassis but the Bolink pics all have 6 battery slots where this has 5.

Body question 1
Got this 1:12 body in a lot... was supposed to be 1:10, but it's obviously 1:12. *sigh*

Anyway, does anyone remember an MR2 body being sold back in the day for 1:12? Only possible indicator on the entire body of manufacturer is a tiny decal saying "You-G" - did they make 1:12 lexan bodies?

Detail of the name decals..... both 'MR2' and 'You-G' seem to be the same font...

Any info appreciated...

Body question no.2
In the same lot as the MR2, I got these two 1:8 bodies, that I have no clue on.

First one is big and white, I'm thinking ABS like Mardave make their bodies... underneath, it has "Matich S4" written in pen...

Second one is some weird 70's style body..... I'm thinking Wacky Races.... or the stuff people used to run back then.

As usual, any info appreciated

I have no idea who made it but that MR2 is cool as hell!

Got these in an eBay purchase, they are cheap chrome plated steel, but curious if anyone has an idea what they might have came of.

Thanks

Hi.

Can anyone identify the manufacturer of these alloy wheel covers for Tamiyas Ford Ranger/Subaru Brat models?
They are old stock but the seller lost the packaging forever ago.

I’ve seen them on models before so they are out there.

Thanks in advance.
