Looks kind of like a Hitec Gem Series receiver, without the top label. A bit hard to tell from the small pictures, and comparing it to mine (which has the label in place). Layout of the parts you can see through the case certainly looks to be the same.

I agree Hitec Gem looks very much the same from the pictures I found on google. Although the pict I found was for a 27 MHz receiver. I guess they had both 27 and 75 band?

I can't find what this body goes to anywhere. Hoping someone here can point me in the right direction. From the size and wheelbase, I'm pretty sure it's 1/12 scale.

Crazy looking shock tower looks like it will fit an Optima

The long shafts are body posts...but not sure for what! Looks like they would work on a Frog to mount a truck body

Edit, I was close! Brat and Lancia body mount

Nice! I was way off. I thought they were some kind of front axle. :lol: I thought the rear shock mount looked like AYK Radiant, but when I compared pics online, they were different.

I think the shock tower probably fit the pro-radiant.

Marker Machine is the actual manufacturer of that car. I remember reading about them/that car on Facebook a few months ago.

Anyone have an idea what this is? I have an opportunity to buy it tomorrow along with an original wild willy. I'd love to know what it is so I can figure out how much I should pay for it. The body is aluminum and I'm told it has a 2 speed diff.

I'm told it was never raced and has spent its life being displayed on a shelf so the tires wouldn't get flat spots. I was looking at matra dynamic suspension cars and they look similar but hard to tell.
