Couldn't say, is it 1/10 or 1/8 scale? Looks like a small tank and not much room on the chassis, which would lend itself to being 1/10. Also has a strange looking center diff/trans assembly.

Got a link to the item?

From looking at the chassis, to me, it looks like it could be an Himoto/HSP 1/10 truck chassis, but I can't say for sure.

 

[dj_doogle]

can you get me a pic of the Himoto/HSP to cross reference them please

 

[olds97_lss]

dont go buying nickin it frm me haha!!!

Don't worry. It would probably cost twice what it's worth to ship to me!

I'd ask for more photo's. Generally, it isn't a great idea to by an RC that you don't even know the brand of. Sure, you may get a deal, but they break, then your stuck.

but at that price and then i go pick it up then its a steal!!! hahai think it is a Himoto just not too sure what model haha! il ask for more pics and post them on here see how it goes

That is a Redcat Volcano, You can tell by the upper A-arms on the front, the engine mount/transmission mount location, and the springs for the front bumper. Heres a link to a top down pic: http://heavenlyhobbies.com/images/VolcanoSV_Top.jpg

Odd that no-one else has a spring mounted bumper... Wonder who they copied that from?

 

[dj_doogle]

thanks AxialLST is this a decent truck for the price??

i already have servos and an engine and transmitter and reciever so all i need is shocks and wheels lol

 

[AxialLST]

Redcat RC makes descent rc's, parts are only available online from what I have seen. I am pretty sure a new one costs about 170$. My Tornado BB was an OK buggy, but it was hard to keep good spur gears and the 2 speed was difficult to set right. But other than this they are good for cheap, for instance a whole new 2 spd for my Tornado costs 18$ shipped 3 day.

Don't be mad.....Those trucks suck big time anyways....

 

[dj_doogle]

haha I'm glad to hear that samrsnow haha! i got a T-maxx i got it for £80 so i did ok with that lol i want another car now lol... i got a 1/10 buggy its a cr@p make but the engine and radio gear and servos are perfect... i want a roller to put it into lol iv even got 2 other engines 1s a trx 2.5 and a novarossi 3.0 bumpsrart engine haha!

They are not bad considering the price tag. I can't afford any thing more expensive then those.

 

[AxialLST]

I wouldn't go so far as to say the suck big time, my Tornado BB with the .18 engine would hang with 700 dollar buggies at the track and was pretty dang tuff. The only part I had to replace due to non-driver error was the transmission, and all I really needed was the 2 speed clutch and the spur gears, as these broke due to the engine shifting and the clutch wore out. For the price of parts, warranty on the engine, and durability you can't beat them for 130-175$.
