Or, to put it more accurately, 19 out of 20 photos are flipped, for those of us in the real world

Absolutely.

There's nothing wrong with you, the rest of the world is screwed up.

I've been telling my therapist that for years....

I got this mini vice a couple of years ago with a parts collection.
Found it very useful for soldering connectors or holding the ballcup when building trackrods.
Now I want to buy another one for the race track toolbox. But I have no idea which brand sells that mini vice.
Any ideas?

That looks like an AYK Buffalo.

Thanks for that, the rest of the lot is early kyosho, i am not familiar with those thought it possibly could be a scorpion or similar.

The parts on the top of the picture with the chassis are from an Kyosho Optima (front side, side rail, rear motor plate)

Yep buffalo or bobcat but has a modified front end with 2 shocks and a standup tower of some kind, they normally had a single lay down front shock.

It came with a few rc10 parts that I bought from a guy at my local club. Does anyone know which transmission it is for?

These offroad bodies came with some other parts. Which cars do they go for?
Kyosho, Tamiya or something else?

They're said be be made by a racer local to me in the late 80's. Made them in his garage or at his work and sold them at the track. I don't remember the name I was given.

That is quite interesting as it has now ended up in England so has travelled pretty far. Thanks for the information. Are you interested in it?

I already have a couple of them. I find it interesting, knowing of their origin, where I see them. But rc10's have been shipped international for many years, so they can pop up anywhere.
