Default My 'new' old toy

Hi guys

this week i managed to get hold of a new toy... well not new but old and vintage. Its a tamiya chassis which after some research on the net i concluded its the one in the photo attached. Body didnt help since it came with an aftermarket lexan body. From the little info i have, its over 17 years old but still seems be working fine. Needs a new battery since original is not holding any charge and some oil in the shocks...otherwise it seems complete...ohh and tyres have not much spikes left LOL so maybe a set of those as well. From the little testing i did it seems pretty fast as well. Has independent suspension and shaft driven 4x4 system. On specs on the net it says 540 motor but mine has written 360 LEMANS on it.
Does this model ring a bell to anyone? Are parts still available for these models?
