I'm going to have to get my Jato 3.3 up and working after viewing this thread. The electric cars are good and fast, but there's something about Nitro that gets the heart thumping
That'll just be all the fumes giving you arrhythmia

Can you close up on the shocks? Often manufactures stick to same shock design a cross loads of cars so might be able to get manufacturer from that.
Hard to say what it is from current pics, not a Serpant or Kyosho. Unlikely to be a Schumacher unless shocks are purple alloy (and would expect other purple alloy on car) - I don't recognise it as a Tamiya either, the style of the bits doesn't look quite right for that.
Old HPI possibly? How old do you think it is?
Thanks for the response.
the age of the parts i would guess similar to the TGX, not sure when they were released. my location is Japan.
i took some photos of the shocks, see below, also it say made in korea on the bumper.
I am guessing it could be a mix and match of a few things, but am i right saying it is 1/10 scale compared to the TGX which is 1/8 ? the TGX has a kyosho O.S. max 10 engine in it.
i am planing on selling them all, I was just trying to figure out what this one is

@Timbo_La sorry still don't recognizer that, maybe try the forums at rctech.net or on Oople - someone there should be able to help I would think.

My sons birthday coming up. Any recommendations on a rock crawler? Preferably kit but could live with RTR. Would rather use our own transmitters and lipos since we have tonnes and would enjoy a build.
Budget up to say £350 but could push that if worth while and would happily spend less!

What scale do you think 1/10th? You have all of the electrics or do you need a ESC, motor, servo, receiver?
Realistic looking jeep type thing or something sporty?
Edit: Crawlers aren't what I normally look at but this looks good (no electrics) £350 though (wheelspin models): http://www.axialracing.com/products/axi90075

Not sure if this link will share properly but I'd be looking at maybe the Traxxas builders kits as well: https://wheelspinmodels.co.uk/c/29/?o=2&cs={13:[39],14:[40],15:[47],16:[48,49,50],17:[59]}

question guys. Many moons ago, I build a RC boat, the KD Perkasa Malaysian torpedo gun boat.
Now all the rc equipment is very old, futaba servo-s, hand control unit etc.
On a budget what could I buy to reconfig this and get it up to running speed, reliably and fast so it planes properly?

You'll want a brushless motor, and probably waterproof servo and receiver assuming you want 2.4ghz radio equipment. Got any more details of the model?question guys. Many moons ago, I build a RC boat, the KD Perkasa Malaysian torpedo gun boat.

Spektrum do some good marine racievers and radios, Savox make some very nice water proof servos at a good price - but will need specifics for the sizes and what might be appropriate etc!
Looks epic!

Its basically he same as this one here,
https://buxtonmodelboatclub.proboards.com/thread/33/precedent-scale-vosper-thornycroft-perkasa
1:32 scale with fibreglass Hull. Currently single prop/rudder.
only if i launch it off something lol, yeh i broke the blade cutting a big cable tie that was holding on the old esc

Looking into that model further its going to be a real labour of love that job as its mostly wood other than the Hull - it was intended for a gas motor so I guess there's some provision in there for a motor plate and prop mounting. Probably going to need some decent pics of parts and a dedicated model boat forum as it looks a touch more complex than a car or a cheap modern brushless kit boat.
I started reading this and gave up - your going to be doing lots of research I think: https://www.building-model-boats.com/model-boat-motor.html

Lo
Haha thanks! Yes it's all wooden except the hull.
The boat is buils and finished and water tested! It just hasn't ran in 20+ years and I figured if I could spend maybe a hundred or two and get it running that would be nice with a new fangled brushless and modern lightweight lipo or something.
Failing that a real petrolengine would be cool, although the kd perkasa with gas turbine irl.

I've copied BongoHunter and ordered some after market parts for the CC01 Tamiya Land Rover. It might take several weeks for them to arrive though.
