Thanks for the help.

The graphite chassis with the two "X"-shaped cutouts is also a Trinity chassis (EV-10SS, I think).

Ahhh ok. Thanks! Yeah, I now have a ton of old graphite chassis that i only know like 1/4 of them. Some crazy ones in the lot.

So I've seen the RPM Ultra Chassis, but that was always white? Think this one was just died blue? Or is there a different model I don't know about?

Looks like a dyed Blue Truck version.

Hi, got some items i'm hoping to identify if anyone may recognize them. they came with some Tamiya and Kyosho parts so may related, but could be something else entirely! Thanks in advance! - B

#1 - two front aluminum suspension mounts

#2 - A red aluminum suspension mount - the red color looks like it could be Hot Trick

#3 - A silver aluminum suspension unknown mount, looks like a rear end?

#4 - wing mounts?


#5 Mystery tool - it has two exacto blades on adjustable mount for cutting something apparently inserted into the thin slots. I have no idea what it's for.... Anyone recognize it?
[/list]

#3 and #4: I'm tempted to say "very early 1980s or late 1970s Tamiya F1 or F2 car", but don't pin me on that.

#1 Kyosho Circuit 20 (Rowdy Baja, etc.) front shock tower.
#2 Thought it was a Hot Trick Grasshopper front shock tower but it's not. Maybe it's for a Futaba FX10.
#3 Dunno...looks like a front upper brace for an 8th scale buggy.
#4 Tamiya Road Wizard rear pod brace and wing mounts.
#5 No idea.

I'm pretty sure this was dyed blue.

This is great! Spot on for #1 and #4! Thanks so much for the insight!

#2 I thought similar at first but the grasshopper is different as you say. I don’t think it is FX10 either as the front mount on that car has tabs bent outwards to mount shocks from the top (similar to grasshopper).

#3 is from a kyosko mint Baja or the 4wd version, maybe. But definitely the 2wd model. 1/8" scale as phin said

The TF on the tool is the Top Flite logo. I Googled "Top Flite cutter" and got the answer. It's a MonoKote SmartCut Trimming Tool.

excellent! with this info I found an image https://www.rcscrapyard.net/kyosho-impacta-baja.htm for the 1:8 scale 2WD Circuit 2000 Impacta Baja that clearly shows it as the rear suspension mount. thanks!

Also spot-on -- Mystery solved! I know almost nothing about planes (just helicopters and cars), so TopFlight is a blind spot for me. thanks!

you were right about the road wizard as an F1!


still looking for any info on #2, but consider it fortunate to have identified the rest already!

Such an impressive collection of knowledge here -- thank you to everyone for contributing and the help!

I have no clue what this on road car is. It has an interesting chassis brace.
.

PB sizzler with the wrong front end.

I found the back half of one and used a delta front end with a custom chassis for a build not too long ago

Oooo, I like that metal spur gear.

Thanks for the info.
