HELP! Identify nitro r/c car

[byr1051]

Got this r/c on a trade kinda deal... dont have any money in it yet but its pretty beat up was just wondering if anyone can tell me what it is and would it be worth my time to invest some money into... thanks

At first look, i'd say a HPI Pulse

Thanks man... anyway to know for sure? I took it to the local shop around here but the guy just kinda blew me off... id really like to get it going again for me and my son.

Look at the hpi site http://www.hpiracing.com/kitinfo/107020/ and it looks very close, or the trophy 3.5, looks close also. Since you can see it in person check either of them two out. Kinda new to off road nitros

I really apprecuate the help man... its really close to the pulse but the front and rear shock towers are a lil different as well as the spoiler and the way it mounts.... this whole thing a lil confusing but maybe ill find out for sure with enough looking. Thanks again

Looks like an OFNA MBX 9.5 to me. Scroll down to the second post and check out the pics there

That's it! Thanks so much... now the question is... is this a decent car to fix up? I don't wanna race it or nothing just wanna play with it with my son.

I believe you need a new exhaust pipe, it looks beat to hell. I think itd make a good basher, go ahead and fix it up, and keep us posted.

It is a great basher...I have one. The only bad thing is it is discontinued so no cheap RTR repalcement parts for it on ebay but Nitrohouse.com still carried replacement parts for it.
