Interestingly, the NIB Parma Panther that I have pictures of has the yellow/orange wheels, the Parma Renault motor, and the same top plate (unmolested, unlike the one farmer has pictured). The servo saver nut top is very much the same as the Jomac Lightning one, though, which makes me think this is a bit of a combination of what was working at the time it was built / ran.

The body is possibly a Lancia Beta Monte Carlo, by the look of it...

there must have been a couple of versions! here is two that i have found, the one on top like the one i have pictured is almost exact like mine other than the color of the bumper

I think you'll find that back in the day there was a bit of a Spec class of 1:12 racing, that a few manufacturers were involved in (Jerobee, Parma, JoMac, etc.). It seems to me that you could build a car using the bits of various manufacturers, depending on what you wanted to have (ie battery type and location, servo location, speed control, etc.).

The yellow bumper, well, that could be anything.... lol...

The wheels are Parma for sure and the car actually is a Lightning 2000 but I never have seen this radioplate before.

These came in a box of bits, and i'm not sure what they are for. The top 2 are identical, just photographed showing both sides. Some kind of wheels adapters maybe? The one at the bottom i have no idea about,

Look more like spur gear adapters than wheel hubs.

I've had these wheels for years, but have never found out anything about them.
You can make them as wide as monster trucks or as skinny as buggy fronts by mixing them.
They are for 2" tires.
Any idea who made them?

Bru-line iirc

Googled it and found they make my clodbuster sized wheels too.

Maybe Hotshot wheel adapters...??

Alright RC aficionados, here is a part I have not been able to find what it fits.
JG shock adapters, part #t-06 for part #t-01
I'm thinking Tamiya?
Have a few JG aluminum srb parts, and they start with the same prefix.
Have always liked the JG stuff, built my Blackfoot with his hop up parts bitd.
Thanks
Mike
