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.

Graupner RC Car or Graupner "Sidewinder"

Thanks Dave!

This is the chassis from my recent pickup Ultima.... can anybody identify who made it? I've marked the extra holes with a red dot.....

Kyosho is not my strong point.... so any help will make it easier to advertise

I'm racking my brain trying to remember what me and my brother's best friends' had. We had our RC10 and they had a Hornet and this other 4WD chain drive car that I thought was pretty awesome. That's all I can remember about it though other than I think they painted it like the box and it was mostly white with some blue and red.

Oh, it was 1/10 so it wasn't a Kyosho Vanning Integra and it wasn't a Tamiya Hotshot (because those didn't have chains, right?)....although I thought they were pretty cool too.

Pretty vague, huh? Any ideas?

Not vague at all; you're probably describing the Kyosho Optima, which was the most kick-ass 4WD at the time.

This guy? I've built up 3 of these, with varying degrees of customization...

Hmmm, possibly.

I keep thinking the name started with an 'A' though, whether that was the manufacturer or the model name itself.

The AYK Radiant was also chain-drive and came out a little after the Optima...but none of the box-arts I've seen were blue...

AYK?
