Throw some measurements up of that thing - that would help us look. Looking at the pics so far, it looks like a knock-off toy r/c so far but we will never know.

If that Tractor isn't at least 14" long, then don't bother and throw it away.

It sure isn't Tamiya - that's for sure.

Why would you ever throw that away? Looks to be someones custom work, and built better than any Tamiya.

Looks to be home made with lots of custom machine parts.

Not bad. I was thinking that it was only 2wd. They made it nice and clean with the belt drive rear axle.

Chain/ belt drive is efficient. I wonder what that chain was used on before the maker fabbed up that monster. Would you make a trailer for it if he sold it to you? And install a lighing kit w/ sound? That's bigger than the Tamiya series haulers; big enough to haul both my carpet racers!

Nice find warhead71 - if you can't do anything with it do please sell it to my bud Mad Modder

You more than likely need to reprogram that ESC also some ESC's have motor size limits so the first thing you need to do is figure out what motor it is and how many turns it is. Second is find out the limits of your ESC. Third get a proper ESC for the motor.
