I was wondering has anyone tried to put together a parts reference log with pictures. I'm fairly new to the RC, especially compared to the people I talk to. I love to get random boxes of unexplored rc parts, but I always find some parts that I can't identify and get tired of always having to look though hundreds of parts manuals and/or search forums. And asking sometime don't get you results or not fast enough.
I was wonder if there was any interested in creating a reference log broken into part categories like front suspension arms, rear suspension arms, chassis, etc. Sounds like a huge endeavor, but with everyone doing a little it could become a huge resource. Hell, if everyone just posted pictures with manufacturer and vehicle I'd work on the organization. Or posted pictures and ask for help identifying.
Help create a one stop reference thread. Thanks.
Creation of a Parts Reference
Re: Creation of a Parts Reference
vintage losi has one but separated by part numbers, IE all parts in 1000, all parts in 2000. what pictures of parts he has had or gotten are added to them. Associated has a chart that scrolled down by all part numbers, and told you what cars it fit to. but was an excell spread sheet you could download.

Re: Creation of a Parts Reference
There is actually a section on this site for posting pics to help identify parts and cars.
See https://www.rc10talk.com/viewforum.php?f=132
Team Associated's site has two areas for finding parts:
1. Go here, scroll down, and click on Excel Data Exports. Don't forget to click on Include Vehicle Mapping and Include Discontinued Items.
https://www.associatedelectrics.com/teamassociated/parts/
2. Go here and click on the image button, Early Documents:
https://www.associatedelectrics.com/support/
You can look up the exploded drawings in the manuals to identify parts. There's no easy way to search for thousands of parts from all manufacturers, unfortunately. You can always try the top resource first to see if anyone replies.
