RE: ebay score, please help ID
he said it was a bolink in the ad, but didnt mention what model. all it needs is a radio, ESC and body...all of which i already have. so im not to worried. but if i ever need a replacement part, i will need to know what model it is.
plus, when a good deal is on ebay as a "buy it know" price, you could lose it if you wait to ask Q's.
last night i hesitated on a $45 novak brushless SS ESC and 5400kv motor. i knew it was a really good price, but didnt really want to spend the money right now. but i decided to anyway. but when i clicked "buy" it had already been sold. had i not hesitated, it for those 30 seconds, it would have been mine[:@]
any 1/10 bl system for $45 is a steal. as is any good roller for $30 shipped.

The rear end looks like it is from a eliminator, but that is all I can see that is bolink on it. Maybe it is a custom cut chassis?

I think that the easiest way to ID this would be to do a google image search and look for similar cars (that is how I figured out what Bolink I had)

You paid $30 for that?
Steering blocks are really all that look like your car has in common with the Eliminator in this picture, but those were also used on the Digger and the Legends cars. Body posts scream Bolink, too...
Not too up on pan cars...but you should've bought that Novak BL system instead.
Check RJ Speed's site and see if they have anything that looks similar...they bought Bolink's tooling.

RE: ebay score, please help ID
whats wrong with paying $30 for a rolling chassis? i dont think you can get any kind of rolling chassis for less. plus, i already have a radio/esc and a few pan car bodies that needed a home.
there is also one parking lot not far from me that is very smooth and is almost always empty.
i recently aquired 12 mini traffic cones and 8 corner markers. im trying to get my buds to plan on a day to take our cars to the parking lot and make a track to race on. if i take that pan car, with a 12t esc and a venom 17t motor and a 2s lipo, i bet itll be pretty quick!
