very cool, never seen one like this! looks like a prototype or scratch built car and some of the parts are similar to that of a RC500.
does it have a ball diff unit?

Very nice Xavier! Powerpod from an RC500, and also the diff...(with a spurgear converted to fit). Also the radioplate is RC500. Do you have pics of the front-end? Or is that stock RC500?
Very nice machining work and fitment on that rear-end! Shock layout resembles the early RC500, but much more the Delta Eagle!

I could tell you my thoughts if I had some clear bright pictures of the back end, from all sides. Thanks
