Thanks, I figured it was something like that. Where does it fit on the car?

I picked these up on ebay and it stated it was HPI cvd's and spindles, and hub carriers. I have not been able to identify what model they actually came from, and I'm thinking they might be kyosho.......they are short, as designed for a 190/200mm chassis, which, I can't say for sure. for comparison, there is a yokomo 870c magnesium hub. the hub height has been shaved down to fit in a yokomo hub, so they were taller originally.

anybody recognize where they might be from? I can also get a pick of the c-hub too....the c- hubs had a ball end with a philips head in the top, kind of like a traxxas ball end, so don't know if that is relevant.

the axles and hubs use a 5x10 unflanged bearing. the bearings have a dark red/purple seal on them.

Wow, can they really make and sell a CNC real alloy wheel for $7, I reckon the screws must set you back $2 separately?

Old school Predator. But I have no clue what model. Some say XK98 and some say a mutt. Anyone want to take a guess? I`ve been out of the game for a long time, what is the deal with this car?

Those are pretty wild looking cars. I've never raced one, (or even seen one raced for that matter) but from what I hear, they are notoriously hard to get to run right. (or even stay in one piece) But when they do run right, apparently they're unstoppable.

I've heard the same thing... Still debating on keeping it or not. I don't think it would be a good 1st car for my son to putt around the local park.

jwscab: They could posibly be for a Losi or tamiya too. I had some of the carriers in a lot of stuff I bought, but threw them out since I didnt know what they fit & didnt have all the pices. (guy I got them from only had Tamiya, Traxxas, Losi & kyosho cars. no other brands.)

Anyone know what this car is?????

the pan car is an RC12L from Associated with "Delta" front end on it, and it may have a composite craft main chassis.

The trans cases and aluminum parts are from a A-main nitro conversion for the RC10T.
