I dont think that is Kyosho ,the engine looks like an old NovaRossi which they were
popular to use in those cars an especially the 1/8 scale races ,I think Serpent was in
cahoots with Mugen with those cars ,they were high end track cars ,those tires
wasn't used for that car on the track ,they should be foamies!
Thats all I know!..
Here is a 1/8 scale!

the shocks and aluminum parts sure are kinda similar to kyosho vanning, presto, is what i meant. Obviously it is serpent but looks couldve been by kyosho was my point

Yea ,as years past ,they change ,but there maybe a name on the engine ,engine looks like an
old NovaRossi!
Those cars was in 1/10 th scale & 1/8 th scale ,the 1/10 they used a 12 size engine an 1/8 they
used a 21 size engine!..

I would hang on to it ,if nothing else ,try to find out what it is ,there is collectors out there that
would probably need parts or a restoration!..

Here is the 1/0 scale ,but it is newer ,it has the same characteristics!

Clean it up best you can, and shelf it. Or sell to a collector for a fair amount
