I have no clue where this chassis is from. Looks to be some sort of 1/10 gas truck.

I believe this is the Double Decker chassis kit from A-Main Racing for the RC10GT.

That's a great chassis kit there. Aaron is correct. I'd love to find one of those one day.

It's the Dakota. The text starts with something along these lines: "based on our experience with the gepard we have decided to takke all-wheel drive to the electropowered field and developped..." It has 3 differentials by the way and the looks of it really show the influence of that eras gas cars.

Oh my god, that's what we use to "tweak" motors with back in the day. You drop an allen wrench into the armature, bolt that thing onto the motor shaft and twist away. Before they locked down the armatures and commutators, you would be able to advance the timing on your stock motors using this method.

I remember seeing guys breaking their motors when they truned just a bit too far.

These were sold at various hobby shops in the Chicagoland area. The label leads me to beleive that most of these were sold at Arlington Hobbies.

There's two wide wheels and two narrow ones, all four with the same attachment system (6 countersunk screws and huge hex)

Also, some unknown bulkheads:

And an unknown bumper:

It came in a baggy with TA02 written on it, but doesn't fit a Tamiya TA02.
The bulkhead reminds me of a duratrax gas truck conversion and the bumper looks like it's from a Kyosho RS200 (same as the Pugeot)

Hi My Knowledgeable Friends

can anyone please ID these rc10 wheels for me? Someone's offering them for sale to me, I do like them a lot but have no idea what they are and what they're worth. I dig alloy wheels but certainly don't want to spend the usual $80 to $100 for a set...

thanks :)
