Um, Hasbro is a TOY manufacturer, so I'm assuming that this is a toy-grade RC. Like the stuff they sell at Christmas time at Big 5 Sporting Goods.
What are you looking to do with it, besides finding the name? If you have ideas about getting it running or "upgrading" it, I would advise against it. Not worth your money. Better to go buy a new one like it, unless you're into the idea of buying a true hobby-grade RC, and paying good money for it. What are you thinking about? From your screen name, can I assume that you're looking to see if Camdyn has an interest in RC? How old is he/she? If you're trying to judge interest level for a 5 y/o , I'd still suggest buying a cheap toy grade RC. If he hasn't broken it, and is still playing with it in four months, then I'd consider spending a little more for the hobby grade, but still keep the car and budget small-ish. Revell (the old plastic model company) has come out with some entry level RCs under the Dromida brand. They can be had for about $100. And they come with everything you need, including "chrystal-less" 2.4ghz radios, and full parts support. Do you have a hobby shop nearby that you can visit? Or will you be buying online? Tower Hobbies and A-Main Hobbies are two of the largest online retailers, very reputable.
