Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
Thanks for moving and re-posting the pics. Tried to post directly but it was too big. King cab makes sense as I have never seen them before. I did get a Fox somewhere so maybe that is where E came from.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
Okay I know what it is...it's a pan car cross brace that adds lateral springs to a t-bar car that uses damper discs. What I need help ID'ing is what car they actually go for because they're mislabeled and don't fit a 10L. Or a 12L/LW.
I'm thinking they may fit a 10L2 or 12L3 instead so I'm asking for help from somebody with either of those cars to check some measurements for me. I'm looking for the center to center distance of the two rear posts that mount the cross brace as well as the measurement for how far back those holes are from the center of the rear t-bar pivot screw hole.
The measurement for the Dillon cross brace holes are 127mm for the 2 holes furthest out and 100mm for the next two closer in towards center. These holes are 11mm and 10mm back from the center of the rear t-bar pivot.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
I don´t think it is for a 10L2. Have an original 10L2 brace here what looks same shape but measurements are different. The 2 holes furthest out are for body mounts and distance is about 152mm. Next two holes are for chassis standoffs, distance is about 127mm.

The 127mm sounds good...how far back are the standoff holes from the center of the rear t-bar pivot? Could be the Dillon brace is for a 10L2 Oval which has the body mount holes to the inside of the chassis standoffs.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
Sounds about right. These probably fit the 10L2 oval and I suppose they'd also fit the 10L3 tourer and sport too. No reason to use them on the 10L3 oval though since that car has already got side shocks.
Thanks again for your time.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
Needed some parts from a lot and bought a lot of "I don't knows" too: http://postimg.org/image/a5wgrg42t/
Looks like some RC10 Servo mounts, antenna tube mount , a battery strap, but no idea on the rest. Appreciate any help. One of the A-arms says "Graphite."

The graphite arm and a couple around it are probably from the XXXT. It looks like some B4 front arms and either B4 or B44 rear arms in there as well.

On the right hand side, light blue bit is the end of a plastic motor holder.Winger wrote:Needed some parts from a lot and bought a lot of "I don't knows" too: http://postimg.org/image/a5wgrg42t/

Below that, the carbon-look plate with the red bit attached is a battery plate for a Nichimo Spirit FF, with part A11 attached. Looks to be some sort of pan car t-bar underneath it as well, probably goes with the long axle.
Very bottom (fibreglass part on top of metal part) is a Nichimo Spirit FF motor mount, with a radiator plate for the same car underneath.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
The short arm under the "graphite" arm is from an Ultima. The stub axle is from the front of an Optima. The top 2 arms are from a B4 and the arm just below them, on the left side of the pic, is from a RC10GT/T2.
The long rear axle looks like a 10L's....if it's non-magnetic it's probably Titanium. The long fiberglass piece under the 10L/pan car axle is the front suspension "beam" from a Parma Panther. The graphite t-bar is from a Panther too but don't recognize the piece of carbon fiber and red plastic part that's on top of it.
EDIT: If a magnet does stick to the pan car axle it might be for the Panther....I think they used steel axles.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
Trying to figure out what these arms go to. My best guess is that the long top set are Yokomo YZ-10 front arms and the others are Optima (not sure which Optima) or Ultima rear and front arms. Am I close?
