Modified Delta Villan or McAllister MX Pro.
Edit: I think it's a Villan... MX Pro doesn't have a cut out under the front suspension.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
A little bit of extra work for you guys, based on what I picked up today....
I need to identify (please!):
1. These wheels (4wd fronts, alloy, hex): 2. This pan car, more accurately (now that I have it): 3. This 10T - more accurately, does it look to be a home chassis cut job, and are those steering parts normal? Answers on a postcard..... or you could just reply here.......

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
Sorry mate, only got the fronts. Will put them in my BST thread with some more stuff today, as I don't really go in for the whole alloy wheel thing. Thanks for the info on the other points.JK Racing wrote:1. mine when you send them, please find matching rears while you are at it (kidding, but killer looking wheels)

Strangely, McAllister themselves call it an Outlaw rather than an MX Pro... either way, it needs to have those Kyosho Ultima ST shocks removed! Maybe I can add these instead - they were in the lot as well.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
The MX Pro was an Outlaw with the upgraded rear "Power Pod" from the Delta Villan and I think a graphite axle.
The original rear shock was just a very simple friction damper made from a delrin tube. It didn't use side shocks. There were mounting holes on the pod that carried over from the Villan but no mounting points on the rear plastic A brace on the chassis. Easy enough to drill those though.
Also looks like you're missing the original rear plastic shock mount that screwed into the back of the rear pod.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
I'm not great with more modern stuff but the mono shock helper shock and dual rear shocks should help identify it, that's not exactly common

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
I've had these for a long time and always wondered who made them. Maybe See's? They fit Monster Beetle, Blackfoot, etc. The way the rear wheel bypasses the adapter and mounts straight into the axle pin might help identify them.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
I had a feeling they were TMS wheels, then I found this:
