The Official "What is it?" Thread

That actually looks like a jrx pro se body with the nose broke off.

Thank you! I really like how it hugs the chassis.

Team Bluegroove reproduces that body, so it's still available if you want a new, undamaged one.

These seem to be DIY, and are confusing the F out of me. Screw spacing on each side of the hole does line up with 5XX motor. Each of them is made of two plates, which appear to be the same, but on one of them, the plates are screwed together in the same direction, and they are opposite each other on the other one. First thought was complicated motor spacer, but seems overly complicated for that, and there is two of them. No clue at this point.


EDIT: should add. came from a parts lot which consisted of 95% 10L and Invader parts. Sprinkled with a few random RC10 parts, there was nothing else silly weird.

home made versions of the adjustable CRP motor plates for clod, hornet, frog etc

our version...

We had a gear case class at the track I raced at back in the late 80's and early 90's. There was a specific rule outlawing the CRP Motor Mounts. However, you were allowed to drill giant holes in the original motor mounting holes and then lock the motor down using oversized washers. If I remember correctly, a Hornet, for instance, could go from a 13T pinion to a 16 or a 16 to a 19. It's a bit cloudy now. I believe it was 3 teeth up from the original pinion though.

Ah, and the two of them would point to Clod. Thanks Jeff!! There being two of them was what was throwing me off the most.

Hmm, maybe this guy skirted the rule with his DIY version.......................

I lost the set-screw for this 22-tooth pinion gear - I have replacements in 4-40 and M3 sizes, but they are both too small for this pinion gear.
What would be the next larger set-screw - M4? 5-40?

Any suggestions before I buy something I cannot use?

[GoMachV]

Yes 5-40 was common

What's this? It's like an extra diff outside of my stealth transmission? It seems to replace all the trust bearing washers with this assembly.

[GoMachV]

That's from a losi slipper setup

Another one. Kyosho Optima front arms made of clear plastic? Who made these?

[limestang]

Saw this on ebay - what is the lump in the body for? Thinking maybe a mid transmission?

Found these in my box of spares. Race Prep Superbones?

I was going to use these in my POS of the month entry but if they're better than POS they will get replaced with standard bones.
