Found this in an old box of parts I had.
Any guess on this chassis?
Thanks!

That does look like it - Thanks!
This looks like the one that was in a lot with boats I had planned to bid on. I got distracted and never placed my bid and remembered about it just after bidding had ended. Nice score and it went for an unbelievable price.LoneVulturus wrote: ↑Mon Oct 28, 2024 10:03 pm I need a bit of help on this one. What exactly am I looking at if it is a Bolink?
Yes, Trackmaster.
Thanks for the confirmation, juicedcoupe. Any idea if these idler gears are aftermarket? They're whiter than the typical factory AE ones.juicedcoupe wrote: ↑Sun Dec 08, 2024 11:45 pmYes, Trackmaster.
If they were more common and reasonably priced, all of my six gears would have them.
Not that it confirms they are original AE, but I see the four injection moulds inlets are in the same place. Four inlets centred between the screw on the outer tooth brim on the screw head side. Not that it means aftermarket ones can not have the exact same pattern, but I have seen idler gears with the injection moulds inlets further in towards the centre on the other side of the gear. I would say there is a very good chance they are oem AE old stock (the new ones from AE have again another pattern).cjack wrote: ↑Mon Dec 09, 2024 2:26 pmThanks for the confirmation, juicedcoupe.

Great observation. The color, and exceptional smoothness, were the only reasons I thought they might be aftermarket.LurkingCAT wrote: ↑Mon Dec 09, 2024 4:52 pmNot that it confirms they are original AE, but I see the four injection moulds inlets are in the same place.
