Ishipla Monster shocks - about the release, I would say early eighties.
Body is Hornet copy and the chassis looks like a mashup between a Scorpion and a Hornet.
I´ve those shocks on my Scorpion fibreglass build.

Thanks Dennis!

Tamiya blackfoot

Or Monster Beetle (based on the sideways body mounts in the rear).

dammit I never know these postings and finally I know one ...and it turns out a small detail crushed my hopes.

Why do I get the feeling these parts are going to show up on ebay shortly?

---> What?

Your probably right about that, but it won't be shortly. I have no interest in these parts and would rather get them to someone who needs/wants them. I'll don't plan to post them to eBay yet. Would rather try the forums first, I'm not a huge fan of eBay and their policies.


Thank You for the Help Identifing the Chassis

I remember that model from long ago in an old hobby magazine of mine.
I also saw one for sale at ebay.uk like seven yers ago or so.

No translation to English “tomolupus”?

[Hcp22]

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.

Probably made by Exoite Option in the early 80’
