Need info on RC cars, Pictures included!

[gillbot]

I received a LARGE amount of RC stuff from a neighbor and the boxes included three cars. Two of which I have no idea what they are and sadly, there are no radios. I also have received a LARGE quantity of spare parts and electric motors for many cars. In my quest to sort out what I may need and what I should keep, I need help Identifying these cars. Then I can sort through the boxes and get rid of parts that can't be used on these cars.

What I primarily need is: A radio, electronics (servos) and battereis. I have a few 2 and 3 channel receivers, about 12 or so various electric motors and one speed controller. None of which look like they are in good shape.

Car #1: This one is known, Tamiya Hornet

My question is, do I need a special radio or will any work as long as I have the receiver for it?

Car #2: Unknown

Obviously AWD via chain.

Car #3: Unknown

This unit is also AWD via chain. I removed the chain and added the INCORRECT front wheels in an effort to make it a RWD car. It has three working wheels for the AWD system but I can't find a hub to mount the 4th.

If any more info is needed, please ask. I can get more pics also. THANKS GUYS! Help me get RCing again, I haven't had a run around the neighborhood since my old Radio Shack Golden Arrow!

I got an email tip stating that car #2 is most likely a Race Prep - Pro Radiant. I guess it's a pretty rare car and would explain why I have about 15-20 Race prep motors in a box.

#2 has been ID'd!!!!

From an email I recieved at Tamiyaclub.com, "modified AYK Pro Radiant"

Makes sense since I found remnants of a pro radiant box in my stash!!! Now to find parts that will fit!!!

Car #3 might be "Yokomo 4WD "

It's a Yokomo Dogfighter.


Need parts for it, I have a bag full of them and they are going on Ebay soon, let me know if you are interested.
