The Official "What is it?" Thread

[Phin]

Thought it looked Optima-ish but didn't consider parts might not be original. Explains why I couldn't match it up with anything on Google.

Thanks.

Now to wait and see it actually gets to me from Hong Kong.

That blue tamiya piece and sway bars got to the TT01. I think you have to run a carbon upper deck to use them. Don't know if it is F or R though.

Thanks!

[AscotConversion]

Any ideas on what these might be?

Duratrax Nitro LXT Conversion parts

[Dave145]

Got this as a trade for my slash and I have no idea what it is. The guy that gave it to me said it was an rc10t2... What is it and how can I get rid of it for something more useful (you know some thing that has a slipper clutch or properly spaced wheels or steering links...)?

It smells like it has nitro exhaust around the rear battery compartment. Was this thing ever nitro? Is it rare???

futaba fxt

[GoMachV]

If it were new in box or A shelf queen maybe, they weren't super popular as they were basically a tamiya car that futaba commissioned with a metal chassis. Not a racer by any means, likely has plastic bushings even.

They put rc10 rear shocks and losi fronts on it. Hard to say what else was changed


...and why were u smelling the battery box?

[Lowgear]

What gomachv said is pretty much the size of it. I replied to the post you made about it in the FXT thread before I read this one.

To make a long story short, the FXT is a Stadium Blitzer on steroids. They aren't a full out racer but they aren't entry level either which is one of the reasons they probably didn't sell well at the time.

fxt's had ball diffs too right?

[GoMachV]

Pretty sure you are correct

[GoMachV]

OK....my turn. I should know this, it looks very familiar but???? Something about it makes me think Corally?

I see what you mean: front suspension arm on a pan-car? Maybe 10th scale pan car

Yes, they did indeed have a ball diff.

Indeed this is Corally part. The small holes around the kingpin hole were used for adjusting castor/camber. I think this frontend part is from a F1 car, other 1/10th pancars had different looking frontend.
