Looks like an aftermarket rocky chassis. My turbo rocky chassis is much different.

These pics just popped up on another forum. We've ruled out Traxxas already. Only thing I can think of is older Kyosho. :?:

Maybe someone here can tell me what the heck this 1/8 nitro buggy is. It has a weird spoiler that actually goes down as the suspension squats in the rear.

Awesome, I have been trying to find out what the hell it was forever. I've almost tossed it a few times because its so ugly, but maybe I should throw that engine back in and try it out.

Royal Crusher!

If it is 4wd it has the conversion on it. The 4ws was standard. Based on the Royal Ripper which was very loosely based on a Tamiya Hotshot.
