I got this chassis with an rc10 and I have no clue what it is or what it was used for. the previous owner looks like they attempted to put a car together with misc. parts he probably had laying around. anybody know what it is supposed to be and look like??

It's thrown together. Bolink front suspension plate flipped around. Not sure of the pod and chassis ill have to stare at them for a bit.

It almost looks like a rc10 conversion chassis where you run pan front end and rc10 rear, but then they put a on road pod on it

I don't know but that pod is a little intriguing to me. I just can't remember a car with a pod like that.

I saw one of those direct drive transmissions a few months back on eBay but can't remember who made it. I want to guess RCH though. :?

Got an ID for this car....it's a Fine Designs Pro Stock dragster.

Supposed to use an AE pan car front end instead of that Bolink one.

Thanks for the help on identifying it I will try and look for pictures on what it was supposed to look like.
If your up for another challenge I have another frame that came with this one and it looks similar but it is different and I have no clue what that one is either. I can take pictures if you want to see it to guess at what it is.

this is what I was talking about no clue what it is though. I have a bunch of this stuff I got at an auction and have been slowly putting pictures up of all of it to figure out what it all is. this has turned out to be a very helpful site with a lot of friendly people.

That would be where the front suspension plate came from. That's a bolink :mrgreen: not sure the version, they had quite a few different ones that were all fairly similar.
