Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
Shock parts (shaft, rebuilds, caps) are all for Delta shocks.
TP-0200 Mono Ball assembly are the T-Bar pivots for the H10 series of cars. They were also used on Delta, McAllister, Bolink, and Advanced Agitators.
The Hex pan car adapter looks like it's for Tamiya F1 cars...or at least the wheels. Does it fit a 1/4" axle or a 6mm sized axle.
Diff centering kit is for pan car axles, and the long king pins are for the uprights that the steering knuckles go on for a Hyperdrive pan car's beam axle.
Don't know anything about the 959 uprights.

Big thanks Phin, great work on the IDs! I guess I can throw most of the parts into one lot, and it may garner some interest....Phin wrote:Shock parts (shaft, rebuilds, caps) are all for Delta shocks.

The 959 parts are just weird, as they are Tamiya original parts (stamped 959 on the rear), but in the HD bag!

Attention wheel experts!
First up:
I think these are yokomo 870c /yz10 fronts?
Just a pic of the rear showing the offset.
the are 2.0 size
Anyone confirm?

Next up are these:
both are 2.15 and use a outside diameter 7mm'is bearing or bushing.


Thanks!

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
A please to the motor experts. Looking for more info on these. 
Cadillac addressed yellow labeled Reedy modified. Yokomo end bell but no dots or stars on the can so I'm having trouble figuring it out. The arms only got the number 29 written on it and there looks like it's got 3 wires soldered to the comm above each stack. No motors in the Reedy Ultra series are listed as 29 turns and the only triple wind is the brown dot.
Can anyone ID what time frame this motor was from and where a 29x3 motor (if that's what it is) might be used? 8-minute races maybe? Trinity Monster built off the Le Mans 480 Gold can. Were these a specific turn/wind or did Trinity use the gold cans for several different motor specs? Inside looks like double wires but otherwise no other markings that might reveal specs. The middle motor with the peeled label is just a stock Twisters so that's easy.
Black one on the left is a mod with no label but the end bell looks just like the one on the stock motor so I'm guessing at it being a Twisters? Only marks on it are a "30" scratched on the endbell abd a 0 written on one of the stacks. Looks like a triple wind too. Not much to go on I know but any info would be appreciated.
Last one with the red label is a mod with a Yoke end bell. Inside has got two wires winding the arm, and a C or U written on two of the three stacks. Eastcoast Viper. Yoke based stock cans so don't need specs just maybe an estimate on age/general company info. I've got a few and I'm thinking they were hand out motors. Lot came from North Carolina if that helps.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
that reedy looks almost like it can't be 29 turns with the wire gauge being what it is and a triple. EDITED: Brown dot says its 19 turn, I'd buy that on this armature.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
That's a good point and it got me doubting myself on how many wires it's wound with. Two of the points on the comm are covered with solder so I can't make out how many wires are under them. The only weld spot that has got wires exposed looks like it's got at least 3 wires.jwscab wrote:that reedy looks almost like it can't be 29 turns with the wire gauge being what it is and a triple.

However, I checked again, and now I'm thinking that point is likely the start/finish point for the windings and maybe there's a 4th wire hidden under the 3 I can see...which would make the Reedy a double wind motor?
Still no Ultra series motors that are 29x2 either though. It's definitely a 29 and not a 1 changed to a 2. Whether that 29 actually stands for Turns though is still a doubt.
This is what I get for only buying cheap used lots instead of NIP stuff with header cards.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
You said those were hand-outs right? They may have been numbered and people drew a number

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
Only 2 have those yellow stickers with the writing on them. The other has the numbers 17100, 30, and 4 on it. I'm guessing they were dyno'd and the big numbers are the RPM.
What makes me think they might be hand-outs are they're all hand painted at the tabs that clamp down the end bell to the case so you can tell if they've been tampered with. Might have been one of those deals where you get the first motor free then have the option to buy more if you want to find a fast one.
