need help identifing this rig

[klown]

a buddy gave me this truck and we have no idea what it is. it has been thru a few hands and no one seems to know what it is. chassis shows little to no use. it came with two engines, a hpi nitro star 15fe(which I'm thinking was the stock motor, because the vx doesn't quite fit the mount) and a vx-18. all the electronics on it are no name stuff, so no help there. i was thinking it could be a hpi mt or mt2, but it has two shocks and pics i could find on the mt series show only one. any help would be awesome.

Looks more like the RedCat Volcano to me.

i do believe you are correct racer. that does appear to be a volcano. now to break the bad news to him...

Either way, they're both cheap.

My advice would be to give it back. Or sell it to tmaxxman58 he loves Redcats

Good news is...it was free and have another rig...

when concerning rc brands such as redcat or the like, there is no such thing as good news. if i keep this truck (which is never gonna happen) it would take so much money to make it worth half a crap, well it would just be cheaper to buy one worth a damn in the first place. lol
