Yeah that’s a Junior T. Wide molded chassis, molded shock towers and threaded rod instead of turnbuckles are giveaways. Missing the motor plate though..Frankentruck wrote: ↑Tue Oct 10, 2023 7:12 pm Is this a Junior T?

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
Like others have said it's a jrt. Really interested in how that motor is mounted though, the motorplate appears to be mostly missing and there's more than likely a lot of hackery afoot.Frankentruck wrote: ↑Tue Oct 10, 2023 7:12 pm Is this a Junior T?

Consistency is the key I keep misplacing.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
Looks like the RC10 Mirage/Turbo Mirage (not sure of the difference between them). I think this is the same on my old TCP.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
RCPS Mirage SS. Repopped by a few guys. Sabula Tech would be most accurate because it doesn't have the raised section above the gear cover. Boki and TBG repop the Proline reissue of the Mirage SS that has it.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
It's an RC500 front bulkhead with separate upper arm mount blocks that attach via a dovetail slide, so that camber can be adjusted....but who made it? It's molded, not machined so it's probably not a custom one off.

Looking at a 1/10 Kyosho nitro powered 2wd buggy with a molded plastic chassis. You guys have any idea on what model it is? Thanks!

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
What would these Schumacher bearing housings fit? They are noticeably thicker than U7188. They were on a shelfer Bosscat I bought, and were obviously wrong. Because of the extra depth of the housing, the layshaft had a lot of side to side movement.
I have TopCATs, Cougars, an XLS, a ProCAT, and a Bosscat. They all use the same size housings- U7188.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
They are for the xl xls topcat cougar bosscat etc, you just need to shim the layshaft for play. I use 1/8 buggy diff shims as the Schumacher bearings are the same size also check that the layshaft has the correct original washer and bearing adaptor in place.1911Colt wrote: ↑Thu Nov 09, 2023 9:02 am What would these Schumacher bearing housings fit?

The layshaft bearing housings actually changed slightly on the cougar 2 and bosscat they were slightly thicker and had the Schumacher logo of the 3 arrows on the closed side

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
Looking at today's forum birthdays I saw this and I'm not sure what it is (other than the Peak Performance motor).
Maybe an RC10 with a red pan, Lethal Weapon gearbox, B2/B3 rear arms, 10T shock tower and funky rear bulkhead? Or is there some T2 stuff there?
