Anyone know what this is?

[Deebz]

After some knowledge from a seasoned vet, or maybe just an experienced eye. I get that it might be bits a this & bits a that, but any info would be much appreciated.

Cheers for the reply Striikar, that I know, as I've been doing a bit of research trying to find a starter car or cars for me and my 3yr old.
Someone has said that it maybe a cen
So now I'm searching those for clues as to the model, and if it's any good.

I'm in the same situation,reseaching a bunch of cars for a friend.?

More pics could help...how about a picture of the chassis plate...could be a mugen car

Appreciate the reply Hpi..., I believe that it's a Cen. Someone told me and only judging by comparing other pics on Google, and the standard 206 shell, I think that's correct. The person selling hasn't been on contact, so other pics wil be difficult, but the price was more than I wanna spend for something of this age, and condition.

My options now are
-ansmann virus & kyosho pure ten £120
- kyosho pure10 & tiger ssk for £130
- Losi scbe £180
- or couple of wltoys cheapies £100

Thinking of going crawler for my son (he's very young)
And buggy for me/him later
So maybe get good brands that will last

Definitely possible to being a cen but where the steering servo sits upside down reminds me of mugen. I browsed through some cen CT cars and none of them indicate an upside down servo. Here in the states arrma has really taken off with being a strong basher vehicle...my biggest concern today is with keeping a supply of parts that break and keeping these vehicles rrunning for years to come. I collect vintage vehicles that range from all nitro truggies,buggies,on road,stadium trucks from 20 years ago and to keep them going means a steady supply of parts available in todays market. Just something to think about.

Definitely a very valid point Mr Junkie,
I'll have a look at some Mugen pics but I don't think the seller is serious unless he's getting the £80 ball park.
Last night I got halfway through listing my old Sega master system on eBay to add to the RC fund, that way I can go big brand/newer, which is all we can do to secure parts longevity.
Here's to lasting parts and a pb pass. ?
