The Official "What is it?" Thread

That looks like it may be a Parma chassis, they used it for many vehicles like the popular Hemi Coupe but also a Dodge Ram truck. What do the wheels look like?

[scr8p]

I thought parma as well, but the front axle plate is different than parma's shape.

[GoMachV]

It is shaped a bit differently but bolink always had that 5 bolt front plate and generally used a pod with separate cast aluminum sides. It may be scratch, or a smaller manufacturer too. The design just looks very Parma

This model is at my parents' house, I'll bring it home this weekend and get better details/more pictures ((the only pics I have right now are from the years-old eBay auction)).

It does have a Dodge Ram body, so that Parma model might be a good guess?

[Phin]

The box says "by Parma International" under the white "Dodge Ram Truck"

Could be a promotional kit Parma made for Dodge to sell?

common guys, look at the radio. Its a traxxas.


I would love to have that body for my trail truck though...very nice.

[Phin]

Doh my bad. Came to the conversation late and didn't realize gomachv's post wasn't a question...it was an answer to Didaz's ID request.

I'm pretty sure you guys nailed this one as a Parma chassis!
It has been modified to run the battery lengthwise using two RC10 battery cups:

and a custom electronics platform which doubles as a battery hold-down:

I'm gonna submit this one to the B/S/T section, as soon as I find the transmitter...

Got these in a lot. I identified most of the other cars. Mostly TRC LYNX. Also came with a rc10L Super Speedway Box. So I know these are a set up 10L's just not sure of exactly what the model is. Thanks guys!

I think RC10 LSO

[Phin]

Chassis is aftermarket...I think Composite Craft and the rest of the parts do look like they're from an LSO

That would make sense. Came with a bunch of Composite Craft stuff. Manuals and all.

Can anyone tell me the correct make/model name of the connectors shown here:
(I need to make an adapter for testing...)

[8valve]

Litespeed/Sermos/Powerpole

[GoMachV]

^ exactly. Outside the RC industry they are Anderson Power Poles, even Mouser carries them
