The Official "What is it?" Thread

So I have this touring car and it seems nice, but sadly I see no manufacturer name anywhere?
Anyone have any idea?
Thanks for the help!

Looks like an Associated TC5

Body question no.2

First one is big and white, I'm thinking ABS like Mardave make their bodies... underneath, it has "Matich S4" written in pen...
As usual, any info appreciated

The white body looks like the Matich SR4 - here is a picture of at Calder Park.

Built by Australian racing driver and constructor Frank Matich .

Thanks mate, I have only just realised that I put 'S4' in the post.... it actually says "SR4" on the body . Shame I can't go back and edit the post to change it

I was able to find the Matich SR4 on Google searches.... problem is, I don't know who made the RC body I have. It looks too professional to be a backyard job, but I do not remember anyone ever making these sorts of bodies back in the day, especially here in Oz.

Thanks for your input mate....

I think a few companies would offer bodies in white abs or lexan back in the 70’s. I have an abs Dynamic Mclaren body on my suspension car. Pretty sure I had the box for it but I think I shipped off another vintage body in it.

Thanks mate, that certainly looks very similar, both in style and colour. Might have to find my 1978 model shop catalogue, and see if anything shows up in it.

Need some help identifying this turnbuckle and hub carrier.

[JK Racing]

Hub carriers look B4/T4 series..but I am doubting myself on that.

Thats what I thought at first but the B4/T4 has three holes for the ballstuds and the back end isnt curved.

Stumbled on some old pictures I had of the box for that Dynamic body. They called it “white dylon”.

I knew I had seen them (probably have a set myself) Looking at the turnbuckle above it, I noticed those are Losi ballcups, so I took a shot (tenacraft turnbuckle I think)
LOSA4125
XXXT, Speed T, XXX SCB, XXX SCT

Thank you!

Do Losi hub carriers have different degrees of toe in or are they all set to 0?

These came on an LXT I picked up recently and being the original carriers cost more then what I paid for the whole truck, I want to make sure theyre a suitable replacement.

If those are indeed tecnacraft turnbuckles, I'm guessing the chances of me finding just one is slim to none

Not sure on the XXX series, but I know the XX series they did - good question to ask in the Losi section

I can help with originals, not an arm and a leg either - shoot me a message.

Agreed, but ya never know around here, its possible!
