Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
I,ve had this in my loft for many years, if memory serves I think I traded it for a helicopter.
There doesn,t seem to be any makers name anywhere, only made in Japan on the bottom
middle part of the chassis, wheelbase is very close to the Tamiya 595 porsche
Any idea,s

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
Still dont know what it is, but I cleaned it up best I could....I've been told the rear end may be from an RC300BD, and the front is from Composite Craft? Maybe home built...

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
Here is a quote I got on another forum:
Ok....Now that you have cleaned it up quite a bit and the front wheels are off,
I think I know what front end is on the car. I believe that is a 10th scale
235mm electric car front end made by TRC back in the day. I still have one of
those cars in my collection. These cars were actually made by Delta. That front
end was used on Delta's 10th scale car and on compositcraft's first electric car
also. Soo...You have a Associated 300BD 1/8 scale rear end with a 10th scale
front end.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
Does any one know what this thing is? I picked it up from a guy who had it in his garage for years. The engine is a .19. I am surprised that the engine is not seized up. Man talk about old school. No transmitter, but the receiver is there with the servos. The receiver sais OS digital. Dang check out those super old connectors.....

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
Hey guys,
I've got a pair of ball bearing bellcranks here and I don't know what they belong to. Something about them looks Losi-ish but I really have no idea. Any help is, as always, greatly appreciated!

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
Allways a good idea to check weither dimensions: like the axles diameter, are imperial or metric. That kinda narrows down the possibilities

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
The front axles are 7MM . The rear of the car almost looks like a Heathkit rear end from the 70's.
The tires are solid rubber and say Goodyear. Kit must be from same era.Create an account or sign in to join the discussion
