There were more than a few 1.5 rear pancar wheels, so it's nothing out if the ordinary.

Looking at the Round Tracker that does seem to make sense. The rear wheels do look narrower and the Advance mini-mags do talk about making stuff for that model but nothing about the rc10L.

Thanks for the assist, now to finally get rid of them!

What is it?

(i.e. I know it is a chassis, but a chassis for what?)

Could be a cut-up Kyosho Rampage Pro plate?

Edit: Okay, maybe not...but maybe it's a step in the right direction...

so it's somewhat close to a traxxas nitro 4-tec chassis, but not exactly.

things I see:

it's nitro
it's likely 4wd as the motor sits pretty far forward

maybe an aftermarket chassis for 4tec with the motor shifted forward?

Thank you for responding, guys.

Apparently a challenge has been extended. Someone around here is going to get bragging rights when he or she reveals the correct answer.

I've got a couple parts here I could use a little help with. The aluminum steering bellcranks appear to be for an rc10 buggy, but don't have any markings to indicate brand. Hoping someone recognizes them. The battery strap is obviously an S&K piece for the rc10, but I was curious if anyone knew if this has been dyed pink, or were they available this color?

the bellcranks should be Hot Trick. they are weird, the threaded posts are the 'bearing' surface.

Now that you say that, they do look like a Hot Trick product. I guess the black ano instead of red threw me off.

Nice. That's what I needed. I thought maybe someone had dyed a white one and considered dying it black, but if it was an original pink piece, I think I'll leave it as it is. 8)
