what body is this and who makes it? also does anyone have for sale or knows if anyone remakes it?

Never saw that bod before, but I like it. It's a lot sleeker-looking than the majority of other truck bodies I've seen.

it was designed for oval racing.

greetings to all rc10 users, you might not know me yet. and i promise ill introduce myself later
in the ''introduce/welcome'' thread. I read rc10talk quite alot and its my #1 place for vintage info,
im going offtopic ,im posting this because i have a burning question!!

1 week ago i bought a old chassis of ,of the dutch equivalent of ebay,
this chassis does not have markings/ model name or serial numbers on it.
it does look as a machine pressed chassis plate and the suspension arms are cast iron,
so i quess its not a home made car.

my gamble is that this is round the 80's and that its some sort of offroad car,
the suspension setup is really weird, some kind of torsion suspension.

was it originally electric or nitro, was it a jeep (slow scaler) or a dirt oval car (fast car)
is this thing released worldwide or just europe, so many questions.











i know absolutely nothing about this thing, i hope you guys can help.

greetings

That's very cool, I love the aluminum construction! I was thinking that it must be older than the 80's, can anyone confirm when that car was produced? I couldn't find that info in those links--or else I overlooked it somewhere.

Producted in 1980 at the beginning of the year in France (SODIMO / MEMO).

@ mr ''prp'' : thanks alot, for the super fast ID, nice pictures and info.

now i know what it is, its easier for me to decide what to do with it,
i actually HAD a decaperm motor,(electric powered) but since i had no use for it, i sold it
mine looks like it was a gas powered, because it has the engine mounting points,
but was once converted to electric.


once i have the time im gonna strip it, clean it and at least
gonna make it run. with a simple esc and a silvercan 27t.

ill make some pics when i do,
so be sure to check other make/models.

Got a couple of these brushless ESCs today, and was looking for any info on them..... I assume they're a no-name Chinese knockoff, but they have NO markings at all, are about two inches in all dimensions, so not small... would really love to know any specs.

anything under the fan?

[Incredible_Serious]

anything under the fan?

It's a Sheng Feng 12v fan.... and underneath it is a massive unmarked silver heatsink.

No dice there.
