Associated TC car help needed

I was told this was a hopped up TC 3 but now that I need a new out drive on the rear diff, nothing matches. The diff ring and mating out drive have double flats. The stock parts have a single flat and the diameter is a bit smaller so the fit in the case bearing is loose. Any idea what I have? Here are a few pics to help ID this car. Its mommas car, so I gotta get it going again. The only brand markings on the whole thing is a trinity sticker under the steering servo. Did they offer a whole carpet car? This belonged to a RC shop/racer so its had a few mods

Definitely not a TC3, it looks more like the Chinese 4wd's to me although I'm not sure which one.

Surely someone else would have an answer.

Hpi and Tamiya TT01 have been suggested but searches on ebay ect have not yielded anything that matches so far. Both of those brands had very different diff cases

Thanks, looks like a pain in the tail to find parts for. From reading, the out drives were a weak link. Cant seem to find much out there part wise for them. Sounds like I will part out the chassis and she will be dead in the water till a tc3 or 4 shows up used for a keen price.
