The Official "What is it?" Thread

[shodog]

Got these in a box of misc. parts. I know they're for a monster truck, just don't know what kind or brand. In fact I don't even know what to call the part. Chassis braces?
Anyway they are going to the bay as soon as I figure out what to call them and what they're for. Thanks

Well they've been gone for a few weeks now but I came across an ad in RCCA from Dec 2001 from XTM Racing that had them anodized red. So I think I can finally close the book on those. Thanks for everyone's help.

Need help identifying this one. It's an Associated, but which scale and model:

[aconsola]

I think it is an rc12lw with the upgraded front end:

Its not imperative that I know but what do these go to?

lots of tamiyas, I think wild-one, grasshopper, frog,...?

[Lowgear]

You would be correct. I don't know why I didn't think of that. They are on a puller I rebuilt last night that will be making its way to eBay soon. Maybe I'll post pictures of it here first.

Lowgear: they are defanatly Not for the frog.... but think (if memory serves correctly) grasshopper, hornet, lunchbox & midnight pumpkin? & probably a few others (Its been years since Ive had any of them)

[civilguy]

They are for the GH, Hornet, maybe Wild One. The LB, Pumpkin, etc have a longer axle... the same plastic part with a longer axle pressed in.
I can't tell from the pic, but the original parts used a solid pin and a grub screw in the inboard axle end to mount on the a-arm. The newer re-release ones use a screw pin down thru the a-arm and the inboard end of the axle is solid (no threads).

[Lowgear]

Yup, you all are right in one form or another. I already knew all of this but for some reason it didn't dawn on me when I was looking at them.

Now I'm just waiting for an order to come in from rcscrewz so that I can finish this project.
