The Official "What is it?" Thread

[Dom79]

Do you have the hinge pin in the upper or lower hole on the hub carrier?

The lower... tell me thats the reason why they dont fit lol

I cant believe after all these years, I never knew there were different settings for the hub carriers

Being as though it's a 2" wheel it could interfere. Also, if you don't have the spacer between the axle pin and outer bearing, it would allow the wheel to get closer to the taper on the arm.

[Dom79]

I do have the spacer installed. I will try moving the pin to the upper hole and see if the wheels fit.

Thanks again.

Ok, I know what it is : AYK FWD buggy
I also know what it is not: mine

But, I don't know anything further about it and sure would appreciate learning more

Nevermind,

That's really cool, another one I didn't know about. What was it called? I didn't see the name in the first or last page of that thread, translating from French anyway.

That's the one big thing the owner never managed to figure out

Google translate might have failed me, but doesn't the owner confess later on in the thread that he was kidding about it being a production model? He confesses on the April 1st dated post that he built it himself.

[Coelacanth]

Conveniently dated, I might add.

Really? I confess I did not have time to read through all pages when I found them. I'll report back when I do have more time. (I can read French pretty well, no need for google translate for me)

[Coelacanth]

I'm sure we all wanted to discover there was a FWD version of the Buffalo or an as-yet-undiscovered prototype...and the build looks so well-done that it's entirely convincing. The joke reveal was halfway down page 4 where I imagine most viewers missed it...when I glance at a build thread, unless it's something I'm totally keen on, I'll read the first page or two, then skip to the last page or two to see the latest updates. So, the joke's on all of us!

Hi,

It's a personal build from a french AYK enthousiast .

He called it " the Mystery" and use it sometime to play

This guy make me love AYK cars !!!

Anyone know what wheels these are? They came on an RC10 from eBay.

Peak performance or keil (sp?) engineering.

Peak, I have a few Losi XX sets, and one yellow RC10 front. Great find, jealous

Thanks, I put them on eBay because I have no use for them. They've been up there for a couple weeks so I must be asking too much.
