Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
There were several different gear sets made for ultima and optima cars. Some required that they be used in concert with a matching gear from the same manufacturer, and others were under drive or over drive sets. It might be that you have mis matched sets? Possibly thorp? I have never seen the colored ones though. Everything I had used was either white or black.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
Yeah, I have the Robinson sets. These were NIP when I bought them, Trinity header cards intact, but long gone by now... Anyhow, any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
Yeah, they're the same tooth count, that's what has me scratching my head.
Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
Ok, so what are they. my wonderful wife picked these up at a garage sale, thinking they were from an rc10. I've been googling all day. i haven't seen them yet. they were with a bunch of tamiya parts.

Bottom picture, the left set of shock towers are from a Schumacher Fireblade USA... I think...
Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
you can't see in the pic, those have a carbon weave in them. the others are kind of graphite i believe.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
iirc Schumacher is kinda known for leaving the sharp little tabs on their parts, I bet they are all shuey, not sure the spec tho
Have a look at a nitro storm...might be the towers on the right

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
Same garage sale, she scored 8 tamiya hi cap dampners, and a super astute ttc gearbox. She's better at finding parts than I am!! Had to let that stuff go, the more I looked at it the more I wanted to find a super astute to stick it in.
I've got enough projects to finance, another one would be pushing it!!

I was thinking same thing on the steering crank. My intruder is adonis and its center plate is aluminum, but those look spot on for one of the upgrade models.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
Anyone know what this 8th scale chassis is? I believe it is from an European manuf. I seem to recall finding it online at some point, but I haven't had much luck finding it again today. Thanks in advance.
I am not here cause I am playing photographer and on my mountain bike.
