mystery 1/12th car ID? (solved) AYK Parsec

Post by templeofspeed »

Do I see a Delta type diff axle...?

[dead ebay link]

What the heck is it?

rc-car-museum comes up with nothing... and rccarmuseum.org too... There's got to be some other reference site... :?

Wow, Delta gear diff, Delta-esque body posts, and a G10 fiberglass chassis... I don't know if I have ever seen anything like it. Obviously before my time, which could mean Leisure, Jomac, WorkRite or even early Bolink. The later model Losi motor throws me off completely. I have no idea... neat find, whatever it is.

well...someone knows what it is...there's activity by some of the regular vintage 1/12th buyers... :|

What's a WorkRite car look like?

A few more pics of the mystery machine:

[more dead ebay links]

The pod and t-plate look kinda Delta-ish, and the left hub too. The front end...?

I want it, that's for sure!

I'm sure mines an RC10L or so the shell said, but my rear axle etc looks remarkably similar,
any ideas?
Apologies for pic quality, must spend more on a camera less on RC :lol:

That looks like a normal 10L ball diff axle, purpletimbo. The one I posted is a gear diff...

Nice to know, those bits are all I ever had of the RC10L, bought for the shell and wheels, didn't know the axles etc were in the box till it came :D

I'm not so sure it's a Bolink...

This is a 1981 Challenger:

This is a late '70's Electricar (that Jay sold):

The car is an AYK Parsec... William Cline was nice enough to tell me. I've invited him to our world. :wink:

I don't think there was a Kyosho Parsec, but there was the French Parsec 1/8th scale on-road car.
