Any ideas? looks like Nikko wheels but with shaft driven 4WD, never heard of Sunwin before might be worth $20 in the US for the wheels

Now, I'm not a native english-speaker, but shouldn't that be "tread" ?
tHread is what you find inside bolts, no?
In general lots of replies generate intreest for a specific tread, so I hope Bormac will forgive me for yet another off-topic post and I can come out of my secret hiding place soon again.

Hahahaha no it's thread. Tread is what you have on tires. Thread is like needle and thread. Or in this case...the Nikko 'Brat' Up Works thread.

Looks very similar to my Diplomat, oddest idea, proportional throttle but not steering, makes it an errrr interesting car to drive
