What is this car?
A customer of mine sent me these pictures, in the hopes that I could identify this for him I have no idea what car this is. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Tim

Not 100% sure. I found some pics of a TRX Cat and it showed a solid rear axle. Here's the link I found.

no, I couldnt be that. I am trying to look for something that has the semi-inverted shocks. It looks like it is either the Nikko Rhino or Traxxas Cat. The Cat was based off the Rhino.

not a grasshopper or hornet. Ihave both and it doesn't look anything like that. I have seen one of these before but it's been too many years to remember what is was or where I saw it.

Maybe Tamiya Falcon with aftermarket chassis? The Falcon's had those weird rear A-arms.

COuld it be a custom made job with mixed parts from different models of the era?
