Frog and Rc10 Lot Parts ID Help!
SO i picked up this lot of cars/parts for about $235
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=180177643538
came today, contains a ton of great parts.. The Only Real Part i wanted from it was the hot trick chassis, which the seller said was brand new never used and the side rails. Both we mint condition and im happy. it also said it came with a new rc10 body in the description, and he said it was the body that came with the car, so i was thinking protech, its actually a new sidewinder body thats uncut, another bonus.
So now i got a ton parts that i dont even have room for in my house anymore lol.. need help id'ing a few parts so i can get them listed approprietly on ebay
i know the pictures are a mess, but they do enlarge a little, ill take some better pics later today..
SO questions:
1. What Brand is the aluminum wing? Hot Trick or thorp or..?
2. The Blue Tamiya frog shocks, there is a pair, both different sizes, teal anodized, and have a hose connecting them together, are they you-g? frog specific?
3. There is a Rear and Front Swaybar On the frog, the teal aluminum mounts attach to the tranny, are they you-g also?
4. On the RC10, there are black anodized, single set screw aluminum spring clamps. hot trick? something else?
5. There is a set of red plastic, new but dirty nerf wings, hot trick?
6. The Frog Body and Decals, is there a way to tell if the body is original or re-re? it comes with some japanese paperwork from tamiya about it, so its authentic. The Sticker Sheet is brand new in plastic, they are selling for $45 on ebay, is there a way to tell if its original? I dont see a date or any info on either. I can get better pictures later for them.
7. Is the Frog Driver Original?
8. There is a Mint Condition Novak NER-2s Speed Controller, any value to it being mint?
9. Speed controllers, there is a victor engineering one with the circular black heat sink, a victor engineering reverse module, and a bigass gold thing too on the frog. victor s.c. looks to be near mint, any value/rarity to them?
10. The Lot included 4 sets of Front Tamiya Size rims, the black ones that look like the jammin jay picture, any value/rarity? There is also 1 set that has "gold" front shells, fronts and rears. different brand?
11. The rc10 Has a rear shock tower, white fiberglass, without the typical extended arms on top, rather, just basically with big hole in the middle of it, Crp? looks like it was made for a rc10 specifically as there are no random holes.
12. The Losi aluminum steering, it is losi right? the typically dull finished aluminum arms?
The Owner Says he hasnt touched most of this stuff since 1986 or so, so im pretty sure its all original.. My Main Curiosity is these items values? any rough ideas or rarity levels would be appreciated. i may keep some of the stuff if its ultra rare or something

Re: Frog and Rc10 Lot Parts ID Help!
i don't know the manufacturer of the shock towers, but the front one is obviously for the wide hot trick nose plate. the gold bell crank is hot trick, and i believe the red nerf wings are jg.

Re: Frog and Rc10 Lot Parts ID Help!
actually, the front shock tower is for the "stock" nose plate. look at pic 1901. its actually just cut much differently and looks wider than it is.

Re: Frog and Rc10 Lot Parts ID Help!
ya it does in looking at it... it is much wider looking.. i would love to get the front made in carbon fiber. i think its a cool looking tower.. thought it might be a parma but i cant find anything to support that at all.. maybe a CRP?

Re: Frog and Rc10 Lot Parts ID Help!
Those shock towers look like the ones on the "supposedly early/super lightened" rc10 that recently sold on ebay.

Re: Frog and Rc10 Lot Parts ID Help!
If memory serves me right (I don't have mine here), I think that rear shock tower is MIP.
I put a bid on that lot, but you obviously wanted it more than I.... Nice score.

Re: Frog and Rc10 Lot Parts ID Help!
The Frog body and stickers are also genuine originals, the re-release Frog body doesn't have the hole already cut out for the motor and the stickers are very different to the re-release ones.
