C, E & F are Kyosho parts. Parts tree 'C' and the one below it are bushings and what look like stabilizer links for an Optima series, or maybe Ultima. 'E' red parts are Kyosho Gold shock piston rings and 'F' parts are for an Optima series. They mount on the front gearbox sideplates and allow you to attach the camber links. This pic shows how they're installed:

'A' looks familiar too but I can't quite put my finger on what it is, exactly...

Thanks guys! I got an optima mid box with a bunch of stuff and am amazed at the numerous samples of various cars. Truly a treasure box for me. Love going through this stuff, but could not fig out some of the parts. I thought the driver was Willy, but was able to rule that out.

That is F :!:

EDIT: It is Willy...58039

Unless I am mistaken, B aren't Tamiya servo mounts, but Kyosho.

I was thinking the same, but then again Yokomo ones look the same!

Part 'A' is driving me nuts...I *know* I've seen it before, but I can't remember which car. It actually reminds me of the adapter you get with some windshield wiper blades... :?

If it is any help the box contained parts for the lunchbox, falcon, optima mid, wild willy (original), FX10, Lazer and Big Brute...as far as I can tell at this point. If you guys want a better image let me know.

A looks like some kind of hatch cover or switch cover, but does not appear to be latching.

Thanks! I looked and looked...then gave up. And I almost bought a raider (purple/black scheme) a few days ago and didn't even notice.

I could be wrong but A kinda looks like the servo cover from a Monster Beetle.
