Help please identifying this car

[Geoffro1980]

I believe it to be a Kyosho but beyond that I can't figure out exactly what it is any help would be greatly appreciated I've had to create parts from scratch and it's really becoming a pain I just trying to find out the model number got it from eBay for a really good price but it does me no good if I can't repair it

 

[Slick2500]

Idk why but I swear I've seen those a arms before but I just cannot remember where. Is this 1/10th scale?

 

[9x19]

Kyosho Inferno NEO?

If you take pics from above, looking straight down, and do the same with the bottom to get a good view of the chassis, you can use Google Lens to track it down usually.

“Based on the image you provided, this is a 4WD nitro RC touring car with a belt drive system. The car appears to have blue anodized aluminum parts, which is a common feature among several brands like Kyosho, HPI Racing, and Tamiya.

From the visible details, such as the blue shock absorbers, belt-driven transmission, and chassis layout, it might resemble models from Kyosho’s **V-ONE** series, possibly an older **V-ONE RRR** or a **V-ONE S** variant. The use of blue aluminum parts is also characteristic of **Team Associated** and **XRay** models, but the overall layout and belt drive system look more like the V-ONE lineup.

If you can provide a clearer picture of specific parts or any visible branding, logos, or unique components, it would help narrow down the exact model. Additionally, checking the bottom of the chassis for any engraved model numbers or branding might offer more clues.”

Maybe a thunder tiger ts4n???

Belt looks too long. Upper front arms look like they have a different shape.

Driving me crazy I wanna know lol

 

[Finesavageboy2]

Can you show us some more pictures like a top view or the undercarriage. Also a picture of the transmitter in the background?

 

[Chubaka]

Anymore pics? What does the engine, servo, reciver and radio say? Looks similar to gs racing.

I looked for a solid hour or better last night/early this morning.. God I hate AI-just like that useless “buddy” that doesn’t know shiit, but will waste an hour of your time making you listen to him TALK like he does…

Definitely not a V-One.. Nor XRAY… It’s got a purple rear tower, which old OFNA’s had as well.. The goldfish orange cooling head could very well be Kyosho RTR crap too.. The pillowball upper front arms have the strangest shape to them.,, And I’m not sure about the “Neo” front bumper… Kyosho made a Neo buggy-but this for sure ain’t it.. the shocks remind me of an even cheaper Sportwerks from 20yrs ago, but I don’t believe they ever did a 1/10 onroad.. The fact that it’s not absolutely loaded up with Philips screws everywhere is a good sign it wasn’t a super cheap Ching Chong knockoff… Maybe something british?

Actually-I’m seeing more, and more Philips hardware… Hope there wasn’t much spent on this… Hope is dwindling… Not at all likely this is worth fixing, let alone able to have parts located to do so… I’d prepare myself lol…

 

[Finesavageboy2]

It looks to be cobbled together as you can see the two front shock screws are hex and phillips

Yes it's similar to the fwo6 but not quite the body from the Kyosho sprint 2 fits on it. It came with a yellow and black mustang GTR body but I don't think it was the original and the motor has SH printed on the side

In the front bumper says neo on it and the gas tank has a big capital n but no other identifying marks really other than I can't match this suspension arms to anything else I've seen

The shocks are an upgrade I did they had purple ones on it before and they believe it is a vintage Kyosho I'll take a few more pictures

Actually that rear Tower is a custom cutout I did myself from an old useless car frame and I use the grinder to shape it into the same shape as the original

Can you show us some more pictures like a top view or the undercarriage. Also a picture of the transmitter in the background?

I just posted two with the body that came with it as well the rear shock Tower a custom cut out myself from some purple anodized aluminum ahead and the shocks came off of a red cat thunder drift they were purple ones that came on it like yellow springs

Anymore pics? What does the engine, servo, reciver and radio say? Looks similar to gs racing.

I received it without receiver or transmitter had to add my own it was a great car when I got it handles very excellently and it has solid rubber tires no foam inserts

 

[Beer_Goggles_RC]

I'm making progress

Also the servos are all sanwa which is a Japanese servo I believe

Here's one on ebay

Still not sure what the actual model is

Edit:

Neo Nitro Maximum 1/10 Touring Car

So…. I have a SMALL amount of information on this thing…

It’s a *EDIT* -I was literally typing this, when the push came through that there was a reply made… I NEVER view them mid reply, but this time I did, and @Beer_Goggles_RC came up with what I was posting lol.. So I’ll skip all that, and just add to it..

They were made in Taiwan, and some have referred to them as Serpent copies-but that’s not even close to the truth lol.. They COMPETED against Serpent.. As well as Mugen..

They actually produced 1/10 GP cars, which hasn’t been done for some time now, as they’re all 1/8 these days..

This car’s big brother was the Neo “Attack MX-4”.. Which was a 1/10 GP, and very few (if any at all) parts interchangeability..

They’re pretty damned old, and were distributed here in the states by CRC, or Calandra Racing Concepts in Rome, NY..

I’ve actually found some odds, and ends parts-wise for it, such as those super weirdo front upper suspension arms, lower arms, and front, and rear bumpers.. I’d seriously lean toward shelf queen, or conversation piece’n this one in all honesty..

Hope that helps to at least either get some sleep, or get started.

Some other findings during my “super-sleuthing”, going full on Columbo over this thing… There was also the MX2.. -as you’ll see below..

Crazy that you can still find even some new parts for this thing.

But that 053 header still can't be located

20% off on Amain for the pipe rn! I got one and dyna .28 on order for an upcoming build

Sure makes me sound like a tightass… They are absolutely LEGENDARY pipes, and if I’m not mistaken-the only manufacturer producing the 053 any longer.. I only need that header for my Hipex 2135-buuuuuuuut, I am POSITIVE the pipe would work killer on every nitro .21 I own right now.. Likely gonna end up with it..

Good job on your searching btw bro!
