Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that's a Yokomo Dogfighter????

 

[masterbeavis]

another one. This one has no apparent markings...

is it me or does that car with the red chassis say poop on it?

 

[FastEddy]

Its one of those High Performance "poop Chassis" Havent you head of them?
They were "The poop" in their time.

Heh, its your imagination It actually says "this" mispelled and written upside down

Heh, I thought it was written that way to make it slicker than poop??

I did find TONS of info on that first model. Now if I can find somebody who has some parts for it

I think the pan onroad screams associated and the seconds looks like it may be the same as the tranny looks like it came off an Associated RC10. I have seen the Kyosho Ulitma buggy so it may be that. SOmeone help me out.


BTW it is a "poop" chassis Please read it and spell it on paper. Can't be"this".

what is the top one? I don't think it's a dogfighter...I know the bottom one is not an Ultima but ti does scream early kyosho design....but I'm thinkin it's a heinz 57 variety....

Hey, It is "this" written backwards and spelled incorrectly, get with the program!!

The top one is a confirmed dog fighter. I did a google search and confirmed it. It won the world championships in 1985

How do you spell THIS? Is the T anywhere near the H?

I rest my case.

 

[rocknbil]

The second one is definately not an AE. It looks very SIMILAR, but not. Check out the dogbones, there's some sort of rib on the dogbone and the tranny case looks different although the outdrives are similar.

I see an old pink trinity (?) 32° fixed stock motor, and a Tekin ESC that is a VERY GOOD ESC (I've got one just like it.) But everything else . . . looks like some sort of knock-off, check out those plastic shocks. Very cool find, let us know if you figure out what it is!

 

[jon2]

The yellow shocks scream Tamiya thugh

 

[jonzjonz22]

It look like a shity car

 

[Buggyracer28]

And how might you think that? :smoke:

It is close enough when its mispelled

 

[mr_bob]

man just give it up^^^ theres no reason to be stupid about it



but yeah i would like to see you get those running but its a witch to find parts for discontinued rides. and dont go to the lhs to find something that will work they wont sell you anything if it isnt for that specific car or atleast mine wouldnt.

 

[Plaidfish]

most of them don't want to bother unless they know you understand the implications of "Custom" work....mine didn't want to give me any advice until I walked in w/ an old LOSI electric truck I modded the front bul to accept the newer graphite arms on ...then when I showed them my Mutant mods the info flowed freely...you have to understand they get assholes in every LHS that will come back and bitch at them for selling them a wrong part....well yeah butthead it was the "wrong part" you were supposed to make it work....I saw some thug wannabe comein and want his HPI road car to have a .21 in it and got mad when they said it would cost more money than the car is worth.....some people just have no common sense and your LHS sees it all the time.....

 

[masterbeavis]

The folks at the LHS I used to frequent knew me on a first name basis, hell, I even had my own nickname "JT" (jew tony) If I was still living near there I would have an answer on what these things are, and ideas for parts....(modaire in Manteca Ca..... just avoid charlie) Yeah, a couple of the guys would prolly say "lemme help you fix these right quick" grab them and toss 'em in the trash for me, but they would do it in fun I have spent many a dollar at that place. The LHS here, well, i dont like them too much. They dont carry anything except Tmaxx parts, and well, not too freindly. Hell, they make you pre pay on stuff that most LHS's carry in stock. The one good thing I like about them is that they are open on sunday
