You have all been really great with helping me to id some of the items I have...I have a few more. It's all a learning process for me, I'm fairly new to vintage cars.
Thanks!

Are these axles and beast of a tire from a Kyosho USA-1? Were they used on other trucks also? Ignore the chassis...the guy I got these from fabs his own, so I'm guessing it's not original to the axles...

One more...a few sets of shocks. I have guesses for 1 or 2, but not sure if I'm right. And I apologize for my pictures, the depth-of-field in my camera is extreme, thus some pics are blurry and clear at the same time in different areas...I need to dig out a different camera.

fronts for a JRX2?

No guess on these:

And these are crazy stiff...I bet that four of them would easily support a cinder block...the gold is in there for scale

I think Phin is trying to tell u that it's a Sassy Chassis. I can't remember the differences between Sassy and the Duratrax/Max Trax chassis but if he says it's Sassy I believe him!

The small gold shocks are delta or a delta knockoff like trc
Those black shocks in the last pic are stock USA1 style shocks

Afriend of mine has this, and does not know what it is...neither do I. He has the rest of the car as well, looks like 1:10 scale. It's nitro powered...with a 2-speed.
Can somebody shed some light on this?
Thanks! Mick

I'm interested too...some random parts like that would be awesome for my current project. What scale is that?

EDIT: You answered the scale question already. :mrgreen:
