Hi i was given nitro on road rc car was told it had been raced and had decent coin spent on it.
From my limited research it appears to be an early hpi rs4 just want to know what it is for spare parts

it is definitely not an rs4, though there are so many cars that resemble the rs4. but at that point would have been purple chassis, or maybe black, there were a few options for upgraded chassis, but those were typically purple or silver. rs4s also didnt have an alloy upper deck and the servo lays flat.
that head color screams kyosho gx engine, but if it was upgraded for racing wouldnt put it past them to drop one into the car.
looks like it will be a fun car
that servo location should be a dead giveaway and i remember seeing it before but i can't remember what the car was.

Megatech NEO TNT, take a look at that and compare, looks very similar to me.
 
Thank you all for the help

The engine is a SH 12 or 15 was driving it last night on my street and tapped a gutter at low speed but was enough to brake a tie rod and control arm.

Hoping i have spares in my box of but that came with it
 
A few better pics and a pic of the only part i broke got very lucky nothing is bent

Ahh yeah good thing, you can buy rod ends pretty commonly, so shouldn't have to source parts for your specific model. What is that badge on the tank can't quite make it out .
