It def looks like a traxxas to me, and very bent out of shape. If it was a traxxas I would have to say it looks like a nitro rustler, but take my word for sure. Wait for some others to chime in first.

i dont think its a nitro rustler cos look at the stering servo on the nitro rustler it a lay down one on this it upright unless its been moved also look at the fuel tank differant unless its been changed

could be an HPI rig, but that chassis is deffo a bannana.

 

[RC Addict]

That chassis is toast for sure. I wouldn't hazard a guess as to what it IS but I can tell you what is ISN'T. No, I better not...

 

[beason]

we need more info.. does anything have a name on it? the servos, receiver, rx, engine?

 

[RC Addict]

+1 on some names. but I don't see a mill... Or a RX...

 

[Metalhead Matt]

Do I know what it is? It's broken. Seriously, it's probably not worth fixing unless it has sentimental value. Once you figure out what it is, check out fleabay for parts.

 

[beason]

the blue screams associated, but the chassis is no gt. the metal is thin and turned up a lot on the edges.

it looks very old school. maybe rolex would know?

 

[ThunderTiger]

T/Tiger used a blue similar to that once upon a time.........................

 

[Metalhead Matt]

Kinda looks like the Duratrax Maximum Mt I had about 10 years ago, except for mine was purple throughout. But the knuckles look like they're off of a Megatech Touring car. Shouldn't take too much to get it going if you really want to.

OUCH That things had a couple face plants in it's life time!! Not sure what it is, but it looks like a cool project truck non the less!! Tear it down and get that chassis back to flat! And as was mentioned before, if ya find out what it is, fleabay is a good source for parts!! Good luck and let us know if ya get it identified!!

 

[lloydevans]

Not an expert, not close lol.. but too me it looks like a modified thundertiger dt10.. from whats left the fuel tank position and the shape of the chassis it could be, theres not much to look compare though.

 

[slider32]

bent

Lol Yes it does look very bent, it was thrown in when i purchased a good nitro, and was curious what it was to see if i could replace chassis and getback on road (so to speak). There is no marking on anything to give a clue..:\

 

[ThunderTiger]

LLoyd,...............you might be on to something there..........................

Slider............You have a set of up close and personal pics of it ? Some pics of the servo's would be nice, and the bulkheads.

Got an underside shot of the chassis ?

 

[slider32]

Thunder tiger, will put more pictures on when it arrives, may even straighten the slightly bent chassis first.

may make it easier to id then.:\

 

[ThunderTiger]

is there an engine included with it by any chance ?

 

[slider32]

no engine on this one, what you see is all I've got coming.

I guess it could be broken down for bits to some one on ebay... Althought id love to get it running again.

 

[hpirushrvo]

i think metlehead mat has hit it http://images.quebarato.com.br/photos/big/7/3/319F73_3.jpg
look at the fuel tank and the carb servo
well done matt

 

[slider32]
