Default 1/12 car, associated ? i have no idea what i just bought

I bought this on eBay listed as a Delta spyder, but i haven't been able to find anything about it at all. can you all help me out.

i still have the front wheel, but wheni was running it the lock nut fell off and i lost one of the flanged bearings and the nut, somehow i found the wheel in the middle of the night.

i thought it was an associated early rc10l or something like that, but it has that solid front axle brace that confused me.

maybe its an early bolink.

That's strange how the plug from the motor comes out and goes directly to the battery.

Is it an Associated RC12L4?
I don't know; but if it is, you can get parts for it here.

there are a lot of things that don't line up with the RC12L4.

the chassis has slots for 6 batteries, not 4.

the front design is completely different with a solid aluminum shaft for the front steering assembly, not two separate components.

look closely at the front of each. you can see in my picture on the left the difference between the two kits. that is what is confusing me

you must also consider the rear motor assembly. it is one solid piece of aluminum, and not a composition of carbon and aluminum sides at a RC12L4 is.

thanks for the insight though. I will find this yet.
