Default Kyosho? Super size?

Got a friends remote control car here, and can't figure out what it is

The tyres are Kyosho, front rims are narrower, and he has some other rims too which are really wide.
Something like 50mm or so
The normal rims are 76/36/60 size (as started on the sidewall)
The wheelbase is 280mmm, it has a center diff, the chassis is blue, rear swaybar, 15 size engine, universal shafts front, dog rear

Anyone got any ideas?

Don't forget to take a lot. Maybe we can't find what is it in case that many hop-ups installed on it.

Hope these help.
The engine is just my stock Tamiya one, with some header and pipe (friend cracked his crank in his old one so I gave him my stock one)







This car as well would be quite old, probably 10+ years old now

Thanks guys

What is a GV?
Is it good?
What brand is it? Model number? How do I find parts for this (namely wheels/tyres?)

GV is the company. Now it is discontinued since GV made the narrow chasis. I don't know any part numbers. Check my models. I also have one AVIORACING that is practicly the same and I'm unable to find parts for it either.

Well I'm afraid not very popular...but a very nice rally-game basher. It was my first car and I really had a great time running it!

ABSOLUTELY NOT. Not even in kyosho's first cars can see an image like that. Oh man, what a car. I never see a car like that. The company must gave up, right?

WITHOUT A DOUBT, IS NOT A KYOSHO. Why you told us in the start on this thread about a kyosho??? Did you saw a label anywhere on it???

It has Kyosho tyres on it
I really had no idea what it was actually
And I knew it wasn't a Super nitro RS4 and didn't know of any other super size cars out there

GV has the same hex with HPI and kyosho models. I've put super nitro's slick tyres on mine...check my garage.
