    Not Traxxas. They've never used any shock mounting design like that... or made anything like that period. My guess is that it's some cheap Asian brand. Looks pretty basic.
    To the men and women of the US military, thank you

    I'm getting the idea if it was a chinese monster truck the MGT engine was dropped in as a cheap big block replacement because the chinese big block engine failed. Maybe it was an old AE truck and none of us know anything about AE's vintage trucks.

    It looks like an old Associated truck... I don't know why I think its associated, it just has a familiar style to their older stuff.

    same thing i thought pave, looked at it and the only thing that looks like it is the mgt just older or something or chopped up with other parts.

    I got it with a mgt I bought. I also got a nitro stampede and a rustler artr with it. Just wondering what this beast is cause it didn't look like a traxxas but didn't know if it was a old model.

    I knew it was just an older nitro truck. Looked associated but I can see Kyosho in there. Hehe... I figured SRTracer would know exactly what we were looking at.
