Guess the whatsit game.... fun for all the family.

[Incredible_Serious]

That's right players, not ONE but TWO whatsits for you to identify!!!

First up is a layshaft/drive gear combination of some sort... no markings on it at all, plastic looks like the same colour as early Tamiya stuff.... where is it from?????

[Incredible_Serious]

Second up appears to be some sort of differential housing, although the insides don't seem to have any way of providing the drive!!! Side plates are metal and quite thick/heavy... any ideas???

[Incredible_Serious]

Okay, we seem to have a winner on the first one.... apparently it's a clutch for a Wild Willy or Audi Quattro..... many thanks WooberGoober....

Just leaves the second one now!!!

Also the Willies Wheeler and Opel Ascona!!

[Slyp Dawg]

hm. the second one looks very odd. no clue what it is

[fatboyslim]

Perhaps an after market locked diff for something??

[terry.sc]

I don't know what car it is from, but it definitely is a diff case. It

uses straight gears instead of bevels and is the same type as used in

the Avante range.

Unfortunately I never took a piccy before I sold it, but that is a very similar diff set-up as the vintage Tech Racing 4wd conversion kit for a M01/M02 m-chassis. Complicated, and it didn't seem to do much different to a 'normal' diff with 3 bevels.

Tell a lie, just found I scanned the instructions.

[Gruntfuggly]

I had a similar 'planetary' diff on a Traxxas Hawk...

[Old Busted Hotness]

Yep, early Traxxas. We've still got some NIP at our LHS.

[Incredible_Serious]

Thanks to all, now I can put the diff casing in the "Traxxas ****" pile/box, and advertise the Willy/Audi/etc clutch. Lord knows I don't need it!!!!

 Thanks again to all who took the time to offer their two cents...
