I just picked up this RC Truck and I can’t seem to identify it. I believe it’s a 1/8 scale. It has a Losi body on it. It’s electric. I can’t find any identifying marks anywhere on chassis. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's a Losi Strike. not exaggerating a bit when i say this. worst SCT of all time!
its like horizon hobby attempted to make a low budged clone of a slash and failed. the gearbox in those in notoriously junk. guys were blowing them up with the stock brushed motor. (i think they later came out with aluminum gears to "fix" the problem but i could be wrong)
i vaguely remember complaints about the dimensions being just a bit longer and wider than all the other SCT's at the time so it was said to not be race legal. which who cares, the handling and durability were not great so the odds of anyone actually trying to race one competitively were out the window.

Welcome here! Lots of info on this forum if you search it out.
Whelp...Sounds like this one's been identified! If I were to guess I'd guess the Hooligan has a "thing" for SCTs. Just from what I've gathered hanging out here.. "Melted mutated trash" I think they got called one time😄lol! Kills me!!! Anyways... Probably this one's whatever you make of it of course. Build it up and post pics and we'll enjoy it with you
 
So, you got your info on the make/model of RC. Now what? If you planned on keepin' it, maybe download the manual and start searchin' for parts in key areas like the tranny. This will test your patience and maybe show you a good path to take... keep it/sell it.
