anything under the fan?

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

No dice there.

Pop it open and have a look at the circuit board.

Apart from "Rev 1.2A", there's nothing. No manufacturer ID on the larger surface-mount items, or any information on the underside, and the heatsink is bonded to the top side so no ID forthcoming from that direction.

factory, aftermarket, or home made? This came off the SRB I got the other day.

found this earlier:
Says the resistor is Parma (who made/makes slot car stuff too), but lists the sink as a Race Prep part. Strange. Mine was mounted with hardware like pictured, but the nylon nuts where on the bottom of the chassis

Its hard to tell how its mounted to the servo in the pic! There's the two screws with nylon nuts, but they aren't far enough apart to be on either side of the servo and through the chassis. So now I'm trying to figure out what's holding the resistor/sink to the servo. Mine was a hack job when I got it, so i can't rely on it for any sort of accuracy. If I can get it cleaned up and mounted properly it would be cool to use on one of my SRB's.

That resistor looks like it was pulled right out of one of my slot car controllers. Only extra piece is that heatsink like piece on it.

you could pick up that parma heatsink for an extra $5 or so

any id on this bumper and whatever the other thing is. found them in a box of stuff

[GoMachV]

Aftermarket (CRP?) for frog series

[Barnfind]

the bumper or other thing?

[GoMachV]

Both. The white one takes the place of stock bumper mount, then bumper bolts to it

[Barnfind]

okay thanks

This post might make me look very silly (if it tures out to be a stock example !) but I want to know what this chassis is - it was bought as a Team Car rolling chassis, but on arrival it has a lightened tub with significant milling of the base of the chassis tub in just about every area. There is no letter stamp. Even the front bumper has had an area cut from the front face, a large hole cut in the underside and the overlap with the tub cut away into a triangular shape rather than the normal square section.

At first I thought it might be a home made effort (especially as the milling has broken through the base in one area) that has been painted over , but there is a lot of milling undertaken and in a very uniform manner. There is so much material milled away it actually feels pretty flexible now - this was going to be a runner build but not sure its strong enough for a brushless set up ?

Thanks for looking..

ya, it's a team car.

Team car but the Lightening on the chassis is homemade. The worlds car had much less mill work to the chassis and nose is modified by owner as well

Thanks - exactly as i suspected, but there was always a doubt in my mind whether it could have been a non AE tub. Someone did a decent job with the respray on the tub after all the milling. I'm now happy to do the same and use it for a runner.

Thats an awesome mill job on the chassis! It had a stamp that got milled off.
