The Official "What is it?" Thread

[a01butal]

The car with the white bumper is a Associated RC250-300, which version I couldn't be certaing but if it has bearings and not bushings then it's the RC300 version. Also couldn't tell exactly what the rear axle was but could be straight axle or ball diff in either model and it does have the McCoy can muffler which is pretty rare, most likely an RC300.

As far as the other cars someone else will have to identify those.

A few mystery shocks...

The red one is a Clod Buster shock.

Thanks...makes sense.

The red one is a Clod Buster shock.

I probably should have know that. The only vintage truck I have much experience with is the Blackfoot though...

I think the shock with the Monroe sticker is from a Wild One and the silver plastic one in the 2nd pic is from a Grasshopper.

Not sure what this is. Has a hotbodies servo, the engine has a N on it, and it has HPI tires. Has a 2 speed.

Need some help on these new gear covers for the AYK Boost. I have a few made but I am not sure what the difference means. MRLEXAN had them labeled AYK Boost Cover 1 and 2. I sent him a message but never got an answer. So maybe someone else might know.

Only picture I can find of a cover on a Boost show Cover 2.

My assumption is that Cover 1 is for maybe a different body that came down over the center of the chassis differently and needed that cover to be thinner in spots for clearance.

So anyone have any ideas?

2003 Hotbodies Tornado.

Moody maybe?

Don't know if the aluminum "motor pod"...or most of the other machined aluminum bits...go with the sprint car parts though. Pod is wider than the body, and the motor seems to be on the wrong side. The aluminum rods fit in the small holes in the pod and seem to be cross supports. Don't see anyway to atach the pod to a chassis though.

Pod and machined parts seem more like they're for a puller to me. If I can't figure out how they're actually used for that might be what they end up as.

[Phin]

Never mind. I should have just looked where I already knew to look first. The RCCA scans.

It is a Moody car.

I have this Reedy Mr Motor, with a nice Trinity alloy bell. Haven't had one of these before...can anyone tell me a bit about this (the bell, not the motor itself)?

Have no idea about these ones





Any advice appreciated as always. Thanks in advance.
