Dammit, I just sang that out loud for a second, and my co-workers are now looking at me funny

#2 is a Duran Duran oval chasis.

Something I could never figure out...why were there two Durans?

Little help for an old noobie...

I found a Optima Mid Composite Chassis on eBay and the holes don't match. I want to list [post] this chassis, to fund my other builds. But I don't want to mis-label it either. Please help. Thank you.

I was told my chassis is a LWB mid. looks to have the same hole pattern (except for the battery slots), and slightly longer. I'd say yours is standard WB Mid.

What is the dimensions?
Here are the chassis measurements: 12 27/32" L x 5 9/32" W
This chassis has a different hole pattern from your's too.

J-Sou, there are LWB & SWB mid chassis, yours looks like the Bullet LWB versions I had-

[DR STATIC]

So does that mean the 1st chassis is a Bullet SWB chassis? And where can I find more information?

[RC10resto]

Black FRP - Tamiya?

Ayk Pro Radiant / Boost Upper deck fixation of the battery

[RC10resto]

Ok, thank you Pierre
Guess it goes with this, before the chassis mod

Yes:

Ok, here´s a hardball.
SWB Cat clone, who made this?

Ball diffs - two alu rails (like the Optima) sandwiched between two sheets of thin plastic.
Gearbox entirely made of plastic, no alu plates.

Thanks for looking

This one is still John Doe - any help appreciated

Ishipla Monster shocks - about the release, I would say early eighties.
Body is Hornet copy and the chassis looks like a mashup between a Scorpion and a Hornet.
I´ve those shocks on my Scorpion fibreglass build.
