Look like Bolinks that have been dyed orange.

Here's a set of whites: http://tinyurl.com/kszmhol

If you zoom in you can see they've got the same dimples around the bearing holes.

Well... What is it?

A good example of why the space aliens, with their super-advanced knowledge and technology, think the human race is not worth making contact with.

Wow.

That looks like a rare A$$-o'ciated RC-10LBBQ offroad pancar racer.

Congrat$!

It looked too cool to pass up... What does it fit lol!

There were some electric conversions for rc250 made bitd.....and this looks overbuilt for a 1/12 or 1/10....

[Phin]

I saw that but had no idea what it was for either. Looks too long to be a 1/12 or 1/10 pan car rear pod but it also seems a little too narrow for an RC250 doesn't it? I was guessing maybe an early drag racer.

I couldn't figure out the weld line down the middle (if that's what it is). Thinking maybe it's cast aluminum or magnesium since a machined part one could've been done in one piece. Unless it was wider for the RC250 and someone handy cut it and skinnied it up.

[jwscab]

that was probably made with two pieces of angle aluminum, then welded together. Much less work than to machine down a huge block of aluminum. I know because that's how I would do it

I would've made it in 3 pieces and just used screws.

I would've just bought it from one of you guys after you did all the work

I heard you were afraid of screwing things yourself....

I've had these diff parts for years and have no idea what any of them fit:



The top middle outdrive(threaded inside the shaft part) fits inside the top left outdrive, but they're different width drive cup areas.

The piece on the top right is a sprocket held on with setscrews that are stripped so I can get it off. The inside of the top shaft portion is threaded.

The bottom left outdrive fits inside the middle diff half and is held in place with a setscrew. But the bottom left outdrive is shorter than the other one and doesn't have a flat spot.

Top two on the left are kyosho
Still racking brain on the rest....

[Phin]

Bottom is a Thorp Scorpion diff. It's the sprocket one I don't recognize.

Radiant? I can't see the relief
