any guesses on what this RC my neighbor is talking about could be?

[:D lmao]

today i visited one if my friends and she told me that she has an RC in her summer cottage but she doesn't remember the brand or anything related to that RC, all she knows is that its a vintage gas rc that supposedly looks like a monster truck, and its a Japanese brand, she could be wrong but i thought an estimation is still possible.
So guys what do you think? Which rc could it be?
I showed her the savage octane (i know hpi isn't Japanese but i still showed her that as a reference) and she told me that it looks pretty much the same other than it has different wheels.
I'll update you guys with news once she brought over the rc to her house and i got to check it.

Kyosho has made nitro rc's since the 80's at least.

Nitro is not gas ,it is Nitro glow fuel ,Kyosho does not produce a gas rig!
Duratrax Hammer was a 5th scale gas MT rig!

Here is the crankshaft out of one of those Fire hammer engines ,it is a 23cc gas!
I couldnt find a full pic of the truck with out a body on!

waitttt what is duratrax Japanese?
I also showed her the hpi baja and the 5b, she said that it doesn't look the same at all, so we're at least sure that it isnt a baja.
Its a Gas MT that costs around 1000$ new (she said that)

If I recall, Kyosho did make a gasoline truck or buggy. https://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=72259&id=11629

Well a lot of people mistakenly call nitro "gas" rc's too.

Hi there if you didn’t already know kyosho did make a 1/5 scale gas rc back in the 80s the kyosho lancia delta intergrale 16v and i think it had a Robin 18cc gas and two stroke engine i will see if i have any pics.
