That would be an HPI RS4MT. They were a belt drive 4wd truck that was brought into the era when nitro stadium truck was ki da ramping down but pre lipo and brushless major popularity.
They had an inner body driver figure that kept dirt and debris out of the chassis with some of HPIs coolest truck bodies over top...imho.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
I would bet these are king pins for C hubs on a Kyosho Ultima.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
I'm thinking my aluminum diff gear is an MIP B-3 for the SP-1 RC10 transmission. Comparing with the photos in https://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?t=30999. Anyone have actual dimensions of said gear?
Also found my ball diff: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Kyosho-Optima-Mid-Front-Ball-Diff-Set-W0107-BINK47-Vintage-RARE-/382423843533?_trksid=p2349526.m4383.l44720.c10&nordt=true&rt=nc&orig_cvip=true. Its an Optioin House front ball diff for an Optima Mid.
As previously mentioned:
White gear diff is for a Traxxas Bullet and the shock tower is for a Yokomo 870C/YZ10/C4.
3/19/19: Just found one of the chassis; the one with the large center cut out is for a Tamiya Terra Crusher.
Still working on the remaining gears and chassis components...

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
Can anyone help ID this chassis? There are no markings visible and the transmission is MIA. Thanks for any input!

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
Yes, thanx Jeff. Have a sprint car that I've been looking at for several years with some possibilities but just haven't been able to find any parts to it myself. Now looking in this direction I might be able to finagle some OEM instead of the homebrew stuff thats on it now
