Was that an actual car? :mrgreen:
Like... the Kyosho 1/10 Crap Buggy?

And thanks for the info :D
No, these shocks are actually pretty good. The black ones that suck would be covered in oil on the outside (and have ribbed plastic caps).

Hi,

does anybody have an idea what car this could be?
The rear axle and the chassis looks like a Associated RC12e, but the front axle???

The board for the radio (poor condition) looks like the Asso RC12e, but has small casted parts on it, which i never saw at a RC12e.

Hi Fracek,

The tank is a Serpent from a Quattro 2WD or 4WD, the front axle looks like a selfmade-version from a Graupner made out of aluminium. If that's true, the original one is made out of black plastic.

You can have a look on this axle at:

Hi all,
I need your help to identify the origins of parts fitted a Yokomo Works91 that i purchase recently.

the front diff:

the front A-arms:
Image

the front hubs are RPM, but what about the C-hubs, and did RPM really do this for the works91 or is this for another car ?
Image

same question for the rear hubs:
Image

the center shaft:
Image

the front shocks (maybe duratrax?):
Image

Chassis,top deck, F/R towers and bumper are in carbon and in the same weave, so i suppose they came from the same place...
Image

and last, the bearing steering:

thank you for all your help!

Phil.

I have this scan of an add from an old brochure.

According to the text it's called CX12 and made in Hong Kong and is mostly a copy of a Associated.
No further information is given.

Phil.
I´ve got a set of the front arms - They were in a bag with a headercard from MMS.
IIRC, also referred to as "Drescher" arms

Hello tomolupus

incredible that you found or remembered this advertising.
Great thanks for that, because I really searched for, but couldn't find it.
Only in an actual american ebay-auction I found yesterday the same combination of front and rear axle called as an Associated but I couldn't believe that.

Now I have a pretty good info, thanks a lot.
