Default Got this Truck for FREE. What the heck is it?

I was helping a friend move the other day and the house that he moved into had this sitting in box in the Workshop. This house has been empty for over 2 years so this has probably been sitting there at least that long. I thank It's a CEN but i'm not sure, the fuel bottle and D/C charger say "CEN" It has a poop load of compression and its actually in great shape other than really crappy electronics, i'm tearing it down tomorrow to clean and check everything out. The pull start needs to be fixed/replaced and it just needs a little TLC. I can't complain... The truck? It was free and i could always use another project. He was going to thow it away! I was like noooooooooo!

Anyone know what it is exactly?

Yeah. Looks like a DTX .18 engine, with the Nitro Evader Fuel Tank jerry-rigged on. lol And the battery holder?!?! I like the splash guard air filter. The wheels are CEN looking...

I especially like the hardcore chassis brace!

Keep that radio!! It's a classic Hitec Lynx. Not like it's worth anything, but it's a classic.

It has a torque .12 and other than that I have no clue what it is. I think I will restore it and keep it as a shelf queen. All I know is it's old. LOL

Looks like a duratrax maximum bx judging by the short shocks. The max mt had longer purple shocks. The torq 12 only cam on the buggy version. Looks like the previous owner slapped on some mt wheels

After some research we have a winner! Its a Duratrax maximum st with a .12 on it for some reason. They came with a .16 maybee previous owner did a motor swap IDK.

Parts are super cheap and im getting a list togather and will be bringing this thing back to life! look for it in the ST forum.

That looks exactly like my DTX Maximum MT. I got it for free also. Trying to find front shocks for it is a pain in the butt, but tower still carries everything else.
