Anyone recognise this chassis
Blue Fox - 24/7/08 at 01:30 PM

As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago my mate has come accross a bare chassis. Does anyone recognise what it is or any info about what setup its designed for?

RH 2B?

Nagh..not a 2B.....FAR to much triangulation!

Looks like it migh have sliding pillar susension though at the front:s

looks a bit like a RAW striker to me

Me too - particularly around the cockpit area.

Riot?

Doesn't look much like my Striker chassis apart from the very vague similarity in the shape of the cockpit sides maybe.

well going by the fact it's not finished and just lying on a floor I'd say it's called a - balls up

anyway it's just ugly and over weight I think lots of beer was consumed in its design

I'm not familiar with the chassis but what about a Formula 27? That's got some round in it and slightly unusual front suspension I think.

It doesn't look anything like a Striker chassis.

I think it might be a plough... my father-in-law has a similar item rotting away at the back of one of his steadings!

Any chance of a bigger, better picture? Different angles too

It's not a Riot or Mojo, in fact I don't think any modern Sylva design has had protruding shock mounting ears like that.

It looks like the engine goes in the back.

Looks like a homemade attempt at a midi.

From the relative size of the chassis tubes, I'd hope it was a 1/20 scale model, otherwise it'll need a rolls royce donor for the engine to shift the weight


COREdevelopments - 24/7/08 at 08:26 PM

if its a decent weight weigh it in for scrap.

Not sure why anyone thinks it's a middy! Look at the gaping engine bay (at the front) and space for the gearbox. Not sure why it's made from scaffolding and angle iron, cos apart from that it is a nice enough structure.

looks like its bent all ower to me like

Also a hole in the rear firewall in the place you'd expect the prop to go..

I'd second the guess for some sort of Robin Hood - they made enough variants of the things....

Think you lads better pop over to Mark Allansons thread concerning falling in love with a panhard rod, there is even one lying on the floor in the picture your trying to identify
