Any guess on these tires and wheels?
I had a vintage Nikko 4wd car at one point. Is it possible it's that, but didn't think they'd have Goodyear on the tires.
Thanks for the help.

Marui Hunter wheels possibly? Not standard but the only car with a cross fitting I can think of.
If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.

Tires look to be Marui, but the wheels are not for the Hunter and Galaxy... Probably one of the Super Wheelie series...

I have this one white nylon suspension arm that came with a pile of brushed motors and motor maintenance tools. I think it's a front arm, but I have no clue what it goes to. It's the right size for 1/10 scale buggy. Any thoughts?

Hello guys,
Hope you're all doing great :D
I've bought this chassis for a project but I don't know exactly what can be the model.. Could you help me to identify the model ?
It looks like a Kyosho Pro-X but I not sure.
Thanks a lot
Nico

Sinyih made those. Also rebranded as Robbe in some markets. Still trying to find the actual name (robbe just called them “high performance” lol). Dialed racing sold a sinyih laser which was the car before this with a plastic chassis but your version is later. There was also a clone called the Raceman (1 and 2) made by YUNG-ANG but I do not believe this is related. It’s always hard with clone cars as they rarely have a parent brand listed and often just have no name so the distributor can throw their own sticker on them

Here is a related thread… https://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?t=34366

Thanks a lot! I've just found a topic on a French forum that is talking about that Sinyih Laser. Maybe I will transform it to a Optima clone!

A very knowledgeable little birdie already let me know this is a Kranzel Terminator 8)
Looks to be a nice older example. My what is it question is the trans itself ?
Finding info or photos of these cars is proving to be rather difficult.

Pull the motor plate, you will see RPM - and based on the color, I believe it to be the 1.95 ratio, "oval" conversion.

Does anyone recognize this tire? It looks a lot like a Kyosho spiked tire except for the staggered missing spike pattern. I don't recall Kyosho making a tire like this.
