Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
looks like a stock nose plate that's been "repaired" and spray painted.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
This one looks to be missing the step that even a hot trick nose plate has. In other words. If you laid the chassis and nose on the ground like the car was bottoming out, the nose would be about 1/8" up from the ground. The area that the ball joints rub in half moons...maybe it's an optical illusion
Edit...looked at pics from the top and it has the bend. I was just looking at it funny

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
I have been researching this one so I guess I am looking for confirmation. Is this a Yokomo Super Dogfighter?

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
Anyone help me out with these? They came in a shock lot which included at least one setoff Kgolds. Maybe they're duratrax shafts/pistons... These pistons have holes that are smaller than 3mm and 1/8. The clip is like 1/16 but I;m sure its metric. The bodies I have to put them in are genuine golds w/ double o-rings, all I need are pistons/eclips for these shafts or else get new shafts....

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
could those shafts be part of the platinum shock assembly? I know they had a double shaft or something so you could adjust them, maybe they are the inners?

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
I have a bunch of these in bolink header bags but all the stickers have fallen off. Anyone remember what these were?
There is double sided tape on one side and a place for a zip tie on the other. I'm guessing it was to angle a servo to a chassis for a pan car.

If your receiver has too long an antenna wire, you can wrap it around one of these, right?gomachv wrote:I have a bunch of these in bolink header bags but all the stickers have fallen off. Anyone remember what these were?

More commonly made out of some body scraps...
