I spent two hours on various sites (Google images, RC Car action, Big Squid), then searched AlieXpress and BangGood, and absolutely no luck, so i gave up and went back to what i was originally researching.
I still think its some chinese knock-off of an AE RC10, but, i couldnt find anything that actually matched it anywhere, so who knows what it is. I told him just to do what I'm doing, and get an ECX to mess with.
I did. Its on eBay, and a friend asked me about it, because its listed as an unknown SCT chassis, and i have been messing with SCT's for along time, but i dont recall ever seeing one like this, except the AE SC10, but its not that.
