Likely story...

best i could come up with, i'm tired.

[ROH73]

Here, I'll give you a better one for free:

"From my years of experience working at a local hobby shop, I scr8p know that chassis to be for a Kyosho Ultima. I sold many, but refused to buy one myself."

How many of the numbered hubs can you identify?

Black ones on top I hope are HPI.

Black ones are HPI, #1 is also HPI (titanium, I think).

The rest? No clue.

I was guessing #1 and #8 were Bud's since they only have the 2 wheel mounting holes.

The four down from #3 look like standard Associated hubs for either an L or LSS.

#7 I recognize but can't remember where I've seen it.

#10, 11 and 12 I think are Mini-Mag hubs....maybe #16 and 17 too but no idea for what vehicle.

#13 and 14 look like 12th scale hubs.

#13 and 14 look like 12th scale hubs.

So I got these today and still don't know what most of them go to.

Black ones are HPI but not the ones I was thinking of...they're for a Road Star/Street Machine.

#1 is a left hub that looks like it can be for a 10L but it's a bit longer and has only two screw holes for a wheel.
#2 I'm thinking are left hubs for a Bolink pan car.
#3 are stock RC10L
#4, 13, and 14 are all left side hubs for 1/12th scale cars. Don't know which though.
#5 looks to be a diff hub that doesn't use screws to mount the wheel.
#6 and #16 are a set of right and left hubs for wheels with 3 mounting holes.
Below #7 is an RC12L diff hub.
#8 appears to be a front wheel hub for 8mm bearings.
#9 and the one below #5 are diff hubs
#10 are front wheel hubs for 11mm bearings. Still guessing Mini-Mags.
#11 are weird as it fits a 1/4" pan car axle but has a notch for a drive pin and the holes aren't spaced out far enough for pan car wheels. I'm thinking with a barrel nut they can be used to extend an RC10's rear wheelbase. Maybe a monster truck wheel adapter?
#12 is kind of like #11 but it fits a 5mm axle and has a 3mm hole for the axle thread.
Below #12 are hubs for a 7mm axle with a drive pin.
#15 don't have any screw holes in them for either a wheel or a grub screw to hold onto an axle. Thinking some kind of diff hub.
#17 ????
#18 I don't think are wheel hubs....maybe axle spacers?

pretty sure #1 is a parma hub. looks like the one on my california sport truck.

Sweet thanks. Just searched for your truck and it answered another question I had...I also got the rear pod for one of those Parma trucks in this lot.

EDIT: May also be from a Panther, but definitely Parma.

Are you sure #11 and #12 are wheel adapters and not spur holders?

[V12]

Here are a couple of chassis I need some help with ID..

The first one I just picked up off of fleabay. I am guessing is a Trinity something or other. Has an interesting floating rear pod and came with a Tecnacraft rear spoiler to boot!
The other I have no idea.... Both are in need of a good cleaning!

The first one is a Composite Craft Lynx II SS Oval. I have the wide onroad version of this car.

The second car is an Hyperdrive SS car. Typical for the old Hyperdrive cars are the belt transmission and the servo riding on the frontbeam. Also the rear suspension is typical for these cars. Very well engineering, I like these cars. I have a wide version of exactly this Hyperdrive car.

Are you sure #11 and #12 are wheel adapters and not spur holders?

Nope. I thought that too but the holes don't line up with any of the holes on a spur gear and the center bearing hole on the spur gear is too small to fit over the center lip on the face of the hub.

Can anyone with a pair of Mini-Mags tell me how far apart the mounting holes are?
