The Official "What is it?" Thread

Thanks Alex... like I said I am tired of searching. I bet it goes with this:

Correct.

This is an odd occurrence. A couple of days ago I pulled a box out of the crawl space full of old computer stuff that I hadn't seen since the late 90's. I went through it before bringing it out for garbage and there was one of those black cylindrical things in it. I thought what the heck is this thing? It was magnetic but the field was very weak so I chucked it back in the box.

Those black cylinders on computer cables are for reducing electromagnetic interference. It's okay that you tossed it.

Thats what I thought it was for until I saw civilguy's post and questioned if it was an R/C part instead.

Ok, I have been cleaning out boxes of stuff and stumbled on this. Anyone know what it may be? All I know is it's shiney, pretty and new. The box had Clod parts and pan car parts (but that may not be of any help). I am thinking some sort of Clod mount, but am likely completely off.

That's for a blackfoot. Had one on a blackfoot that I sold a few years ago:

[civilguy]

Thanks... I am starting to think it fits both. I have had confirmation at ClodTalk that it's for a Clod. There seem to be plenty of holes to mount on both... I will try lining it up on the Clod I have.

Anyone think the small magnet things are RC-related?

How strong of a magnet are they? And do they stick to those hubs?

Could be body mounts.

Could be body mounts.

That's what I was thinking but only one part is tapped (the hubs?)
They are lightly magnetic... the grubs stick right to them but I wouldn't think they would hold very well under heavy use.
Stumped... very odd for the knowledge base here.

I remember seeing magnets like that sold as filters for servo leads to reduce glitches. Not sure if that is feasible for what you have, but who knows????

Anyone recognize this 10mm shock collars!

Anyone?

Red loctite is recommended for the grub screws.

Finally got around to taking some better pics of those hubs. All the hubs with 3 holes for the wheel have the same spacing between the holes.


Diff hubs. The two screw holes are the same distance apart as a standard 4 hole pan car wheel hub.

These are for a 6mm axle..

First two are 1/4" ID and have the same screw hole spacing as a mini-mag or yoke hub. Second two are 5mm ID.

7mm ID

Approx. 12mm ID on the first two. Last one is a 1/4" ID.

1/12 hubs? 1/4" ID screw holes are spaced approx 17/32" apart center to center.

1. PB Racing drive belt - but for what car?




2. Yok 1/12 (?) wheels, for which car?

bimrod shocks?

2. Yok 1/12 (?) wheels, for which car?

I have very similar looking wheels that mount to a drive pin. If these are the same, they are for the YR-4 and Y-10 (or whatever Yokomo's SuperScale Group C racer is called).
