only HPI part on its the radio
if the mugen sticker on the gas tanks legit its a mugen something or other (not familiar with mugen)
Looks like a 1/10th someone butchered(badly) up to crap a big block on.

Not a mugen... the only shaft driven mugen is a prime 12, and thats not even close to a prime 12. I see a Thinder Tiger logo on the engine...

The proportions strike me as odd... the cooling head is massive, are those 2.2 wheels? Was it even an on road car to begin with?

The engine and exhaust look to be from a Schumacher Menace or XTR, the engine is a Thunder Tiger Pro .21.......but I dont think the head is not standard...not sure tbh...

Can you get a better pic of the engine? cant make out the markings on that pic.
From the looks of the additional holes for the engine I wouldnt count on it being stock!
Lookin at the second pic down, looks like you have some good help noseing in there.
