When I was racing 1/8 scale, I had the original Quattro 2WD with the chaindrive. But sold the car when I stopped racing 1/8 around 1985. :(

Can anyone help me identify this car...
I got it a while back but not really my cup of tea. Will be sold off soon.

Hi
It is the very first version of Serpent Quattro (no shock). But the tank is not A Serpent one. It should be the Serpent black one.

Just adding my latest find, a LeGa from Italy. Not sure if it´s a LeGa 1 or 2 but very early car of around 1970-1973.
Around 1973/74 LeGa was changed to SG.
Tires are rubber, wheels are 2-piece aluminium. Motor is an Enya 19-V from 1969/70.

Alright, much smarter than me people. My buddy has this body, I can not find anything on it. Another guy wants it bad and is offering him an rc10 roller for it. Before he does it....what is it? Any pics of one painted or?

That's an original Associated Eagle 1/8th scale body and is part # 860L which is the first body listed in the early RC1 - RC-100 group of bodies. It is very rare and if sold on eBay would do very good.

Oops - Brian beat me to it. :lol:
