Not a problem. There is some pretty knowledgeable guys with nitro here and they would be more than happy to help you out.
I'm not really into nitro that much so my knowledge is limited unless its kayak fishing...

Seem likes the chassis might have a lot of home made parts. The upper plates are very odd shape and the brake design for the smaller chassis is odd, never seen design like that. The larger one seems to have an home made exhaust header to go that way, I think someone was throwing an side exhaust engine in it, looks like an old OS or Thunder Tiger engine. But for most parts, the chassis might have come from Thunder Tiger. Good Luck restoring it. Not sure what parts you will need. But most of them are there by the look of it.

Welcome to RCtalk.

Are you from the UK ? Those models are from europe and were not sold in the u.s.

Larger one is made by Bergonzoni

Since I know Bergonzoni about 20 years ago, they made very nice buggies and 5th scale cars, never seen anything like it. Maybe it was before I know them. I do agree they are not North American variants.

The small one has an os 12 engine. Do you believe that thunder tiger parts can do for that one?.

The larger one is 1/8 ? It’s at least 20 years old
