Thanks - that's what i figured, since the B stamps were never struck hard enough to show any impression on the outer surface

I'm going to strip off the paint, repair any damage and us it as a runner Team Car. I have another chassis stripped down at present so best parts will go into a semi shelfer / occassional runner and the rest into a regular user

Came with a lot of parts I needed. Was listed as 1990 Cliff Lett ROAR Nats winner homage Yokomo parts.
I have looked thru a couple Yok manuals and don't see this type of one way used. Was this just an upgrade to use more common gears?

Ideas?

How about another motor, A "Lightspeed Products"

Label on the can is a prism effect with Fort Worth Texas along the bottom of the label.

The top is pink with a pair of capacitors marked ".1M" The caps are easy enough to decipher, The bottom has "#1" stamped into it.

The specs are what I am interested in.

Lightspeed is no longer around, from what I found out while searching around. They started in Fort Worth and operated there for years.

It was sold and moved and reopened in Waco. Don't think the new owners are operating anymore. New, meaning years ago.

I have a hunch that this might be for an oval application, not sure about that though. Any input would be great.

Top Force Evolution - the ultimate version of the DF-01 chassis, with CF chassis and alloy hi capacity dampers as standard.

Its missing the carbon fibre top chassis plate.

Do you have the orange wheels ?

The body is the same as the normal Top Force, so repro ones are available from team bluegroove in Canada. Decals are horrific prices, currently around $180 for the single sticker sheet (were over $200 at one time :( )
