This is probably a Bolink Round Tracker, but I can't find a pic of a similar battery plate. The steering knuckles are also marked "minicars" which I believe was a Swedish maker that was bought out by Bolink. I know that GoMachV and Dadio worked together on a Digger chassis that looks to use some of the same templates. The knuckles are black while the rest of the nylon is white, so the minicars parts may have just been swapped on.

It just looks like the upper plate has been cut down.

That is a probable possibility of course, but I was hoping for something more exotic. :mrgreen:

I was hoping the minicar knuckles and skinny front wheels pointed towards something a little more rare.

All the earlier stuff had the minicars logo, that was normal. Same with the zebra parts- they slowly went to black.

Have all sorts of chassis and no idea what they went to. The guy was into dirt oval and it's sadly something I never ran except with converted Losi stadium trucks or buggies :P
Any ideas on these? I greatly appreciate all the help!

Picked up a few Marui big bears Datsuns along with a bunch of new parts and in a used parts box were these orange connectors. In all my years, I have never seen anything like these. Any idea guys?

I can’t see your pic but orange would be race prep 98% of the time

Yup those are race prep. Awesome connectors but known for the ability to spark them opposite polarity enough to blow esc’s especially on the first gen style. Later they had a piece to try to prevent this but it was still possible. Even later yet they went to green ones with a ceramic ball to add pressure
