Thanks Dennis.

A couple of more IDs needed please.

That gear cover looks like a replacement for the Hirobo cars like the 44b. Scoot Mike might need that

[Phin]

Nice ID! Didn't think about it being for a non-MRP car but you might be right. Looks a lot like the gear cover on the Zerda pictured on rc-car-museum.de.

That gear cover does look like a Zerda one , might be worth trying to make a mold off it , I'm sure a few would sell , I'd take one for a start !

[threesheds]

Yep looks zerdaish. Tease it out of the bag and pic it on a ruler?

[Phin]

Yeah it is most likely for the Zerda. Before Gomachv mentioned the Zerda, I had forgotten MRP made the Kong...which was a Zerda monster truck...so it makes sense.

I already talked to mytimac about doing repops but he's backed up, and not doing new molds yet. I haven't asked TBG since I don't really need any of their repro bodies at the moment. Also I read something about them being off eBay now, and trying to set up their own site, but I'm not really sure.

Edit: On a side note I also figured out that the motor plate looks to be for some version of the MRP/Jomac Class D Racing Car (maybe the Datsun Baja ATV). It's a little hard to recognize because it's got some extra material behind the motor mount.

Can anyone identify this RC vehicle. It's 1/8 scale, and very similar to a Kyosho Inferno.

Thanks Mark

Disregard that...just saw TBG has bodies listed on eBay.

Hey limestang, this is a team vtx-B1R. Hope this helps.


Pretty sad when you have to answer your own post

If it was pre 1993 we probably could have helped

Heya Folks! I'm back from the dead! This time with a little something extra. Working on a Nitro Project, and was hoping for some help in identifying the chassis.





Heres the engine thatll go in it. .21 Novarossi Kangaroo, 9 port. Anyone know anything about this engine?

[Basher67]

This was found in a 10T. Looks like stealth mounting pattern. this back idler gear and bushings were in it. It's obviously an MIP, but I thought the SP-1 was the MIP stealth offering. What do I have here?

[GoMachV]

That’s a change box. Was designed to change the ratio of the stealth to a 2.61

Here are the instructions
