So far, I've got no good answers for you.... The more info you ger, the easier it will be. Its possible that the numbers on the stickers would help. I also suggest that as you take this apart, everything gets cleaned up all nice and pretty like. Obviously, it needs a good cleaning BUT as long as you don't use anything too harsh, you could reveal more lettering, stickers etc...
Does it have a radio with it? What brand is the radio? You can get that info off the receiver when you get to it.

If that's the original receiver ,then it may very well be a Hot boddies car ,they do produce touring cars ,Mt's an truggy's!

Theyre not a very popular brand ,but they are a competitive brand on market!

I usually cross reference stuff on Ebay ,go to the radio control section an punch in that brand
an see what pops up!...

That's where I was going too... I would also spend some time looking thru the Google images. Search hot bodies, on road 1/10(?) scale nitro cars and see if you can match parts of it or the whole kit up. Sometimes you'll find a manufacturer uses a front end suspension (for instance) on a few different kits but that will narrow the search considerably. If you can't figure it out, keep posting pics and I'll do what I can... Def let us know when it's figured out!!!

The fact that it has a 27mhz, removable crystal type receiver also indicates that it's an older unit which may help your search as well.

Is your car a 1/10 or 1/8 scale?

 

[Tidge2k17]

I dont know how can i check

 

[cbaker65]

I dont know how can i check

If its a small block engine ,then it is more likely to be 1/10!..
Sometimes ,if the engine is original ,the engine may have a brand or size on the side!

 

[Tidge2k17]

I thimk its a 1/10

Cool ,What I've seen though ,this brand maybe more popular in other countries ,like Australia ,so you might
can get shipment from them ,shipping may kill ya!...

Yeah ones I've found are abroad ffs gotta be done though oh are idle screws on carb all same

More or less ,some have a spring on them ,some don't ,they also hold the slide barrel in place!

The carb appears to be only a two needle carb. ,in which it only has an HSN an LSN setting along with a idle set screw ,
but your engine is very nasty which is to an indication that the engine maybe still set on factory break-in setting ,which
means it could have been ran filthy rich of fuel ,hense ,the fuel all over the engine ,but then again ,it could be leaking
badly.
Clean the engine up ,seal it ,an make sure the head bolts are tight!..
