Remember it's either a runner or a shelfer. Everything else is just parts.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
Ok guys.....assuming the sticker is wrong, there are no other markings on her. It's a Du Mor Spur, had a diff with the wheel containing the drive hub for the ring, those and the side plates and motor pod were professionally made. If anyone has seen one let me know. I asked Bud and he has not seen one, and he is "Mr 1/18"

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
Here's a link to some interesting info on these 3/8 scale models, used by Ford. That particular model was called the La Tosca, of course a concept car, that was never produced. Either way interesting article with a video of the thing in action.limestang wrote:Saw this on Yahoo today. Most likely a one of a kind. Very cool!

Man, and we tend to think 70's and 80's resistor esc's and such are ancient, ............the electronics in that have to be absolutely prehistoric!

Thanks! That was cool to watch the video of it as well. It looked so real! So neat designs they thought up back in the day.dave00beer wrote:Here's a link to some interesting info on these 3/8 scale models, used by Ford.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
I picked these up in a lot. The rc12 (not sure what version it is) is pretty clean and a keeper. The other two are onroad f1 style cars. The very limited info i can find on them seems to point to a Yokomo y-10. But i could use a second opinion. Not really any info on these cars that i have dug up. They are pretty neat. 2wd belt drive, Losi type slider axles, and the front suspension seems to "give" in the event of an impact. Looks like they hinge backward and were either held by an o-ring, or as i received it a very rotted rubber band. Thanks in advanced guys!!

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
RC12LS. Yokomo Y-10 is correct for the other two cars...the top looks like a Nissan R91CP, but I don't know the model name of the second.
Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
I appreciate that sir. Now I'm off to find a manual.
