The Official "What is it?" Thread

[juicedcoupe]

Reedy had this as well. From what I've read, it was supposedly nice.

[Lonestar]

there was a significant structural design difference between the CRF design and the Checkpoint (that the reedy is likely based on) : in the CRF, the brushes are angled 45degrees... this was the enabler for lesser comm/brush wear because it miminized brush bounce.

(the V2 design ran cooler as the head was one big allow fin - the SV2 didn't have this... to note, the "original" checkpoints with the square brushes had a full alloy head too )

Can anyone identify this motor , I got it in a lot a while ago , TOM is the only mark on it , it has 45° angled round brushes in a triangular holder , adjustable timing and runs very smoothly

wait wait wait it DOES say TOM on the head... now, this is a serious mystery to me I will admit...

I was installing this Orion Rush motor in a truck and noticed the "TOM" marking on the endbell.

The plastic part of the can does look very similar to that Orion , the thin plastic vanes don't chamber off though , otherwise it's spot on .

It's a Team Orion for sure , just found a picture , of a Method 27x2 with exactly the same end bell and brush holder .

Sadly I think it's a current model as I just found one in stock with a shop

yup - that is a proper SV2 for sure. Not a current model, the round CRF-based brush thing has long been out of prod

I'm still confused by the TO*M* though... why move away from Team Orion Peak, I have no idea.

Good day everyone!

Any guess what this is?

Radio box is for a srb series (scorcher, rough rider etc)

The chassis are Tamiya xr311 or Lamborghini Cheetah.

Was going to say exactly this.
I started to key my answer, got a call, and then you had it done.

Anyone know who made this body? It's not the Parma '36 Ford that the RCCA article claims it is...and I can't match it to any other Parma, or Bolink body.

[LosiRacer1]

Got these in a large lot. Not really sure what they're for.
Twister made 1/12 tires?
And I have no idea what the other tires are for? 1/18 scale something?
Thanks for the help.

1/18th pan car foam tires.

I bought this car many years ago and I may have bought it from a member here.

TC3 or TC4? I can't remember, and all the CF is throwing me off.

I bought it because it I have a TC4 I use for running around in the street or parking lot.

Picture of the body to help anyone here if I bought it from them.

Looks more like the 39 Chevy from Parma.
