The pulleys look like XX4/Street/Rally Weapon pulleys but those outdrives are clearly not a Losi design.
I miss brushed motors in that hazy, everything seemed better when I was a kid, kind of way.

Yokomo YR-4 (or aftermarket for YR-4), I think.

number 2 is a rear diff, and number 1 is a front diff. Pretty sure YR4 for the front, and the rear can probably fit a few models, as you have tested in the rear bulkhead. I recall the yr4 had some tweaks to the front bulkhead depending on the model.

I believe these are SRS delrin shock bodies but I'd like to get more info on them. Specifically: What year were these around; did they use AE shock parts to build; and how well/poorly did they function?

My wife has the camera today, so maybe I can get the answer to this question without taking a picture (and hopefully without making myself sound stupid ... LOL!).

I have an almost complete set of older, aftermarket RC10 turnbuckles. The problem is I can't remember who made them. They appear to be made of titanium and are adjusted using large 4-40 nuts that are offset on one end of each turnbuckle. Who can name the manufacturer and/or post a picture of what I'm trying to describe?

Thanks.

Yep. Thank you. I was searching on Google but couldn't come up with any images to verify my suspicions of what they might be.

Now I need to start a "wanted" thread in hopes that someone here will have the one turnbuckle that I'm missing. :lol:

I was wondering the same thing since I'm not sure what I actually have. I read elsewhere that the RCPS and early Lunsford look the same. :?

Yup, virtually impossible to tell them apart.

Are they actually different? I thought they were the same product sold under different packaging...as was common way back then.

I wouldn't doubt they were the same unit as Kelly's just rebranded.

Diff 1:
pulley on "diff 1" does have collar only on one side. Maybe some rear diff pulley?
outdrives on diff 1 have many large radiuses
outdrives are maybe from some front diff, since when installed on rear bulkhead, the pulley is in same line with motor mount so it will not fit there

Diff 2:
outdrives do not have practically any radius
will fit nicely to ZY10 94 rear bulkhead

Any info about these diff parts will be helpful.

this is a set of ball diff for YR4 II

RCPS turnbuckles were made by Lunsford so exactly the same. RCPS was Cliff Lett´s company.

Is this a YZ-10, or some other type of Yokomo? I don't know my Yok stuff... and sorry for the crappy pics, it's all I've got right now.
