The carbon pattern looks like the weave that fibre-lyte
In the Uk used to use. It’s not on their losi parts list but that doesn’t mean it’s not one of theirs.

This is the set I have they work great for Tamiya style connectors, along a bunch of other types.

I'd look really closely at that chassis, it looks like it could be a carbon wrap material. Can't say that I've seen a losi chassis with that weave. But I know guys have wrapped them before.

If you make sure your pics are wider then taller they won’t rotate.
Who do you race for ?
Me……. I race for me.
That’s impossible, I was told you need a sponsor to race.
Hey Cru ! Go balls out

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
Thanks for the tip on pin removers, Joe!
You know I did think about whether there is some sort of carbon-look tape/wrap on that JRX-2 chassis - if that's what it is, it was done very well.
- I will take a closer look and see if I can find any imperfection.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
What sort of wheels do these adapters use? They almost look like they would replace Hornet wheel centers, but the package says All Super System wheels, so I guess Bru Line wheels?

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
Ok, this confuses me. Futaba S3003 servo with a JR wire lead?

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
Fake futaba. You can buy em really cheap from AliExpress and other china places. The funky lettering and the colors of the servo wires are the giveaways

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
Interesting. Faking an S3003 is like counterfeiting a $1 bill.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
You can get the same servos without the fake futaba name on Amazon too, just search s3003

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
If you could sell those bills for $.15, then it makes perfect sense. You have to sell a lot more of them, but you sell them because of a name.Frankentruck wrote: ↑Fri Mar 03, 2023 5:23 pm Interesting. Faking an S3003 is like counterfeiting a $1 bill.
I build RCs like people would have done back in the '90s ..................................... if they had 3D printers.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
I kind of assumed these were Schumacher but was not quite sure given my lack of familiarity with the brand, any thoughts?
I come for the RC10's but stay for the Yokomo's
