Could be a Shadow-something or something-Shadow. There were a couple of cars with the same chassis.

The Hot Shot was a Tamiya.

Does it have funky hex halfshafts?

I'll see if I have the advertisement yet for it in an old RC mag.

it is a 1/10 scale nitro 2 wheel drive,but the way the drive train is set up?it's throwing me off... it is set up like a 1/8 scale buggy drive train... with out the front diff/shaft..
the rear diiff is set up like a 1/8 with ring/pinion....the pinion gear has a belt pully on it
the shaft next to it has a pully on it...they are in line with the each other...the shaft then goes up to the front of the chassie about 5"'s...then it has a spear gear...
connected to it...the bell gear meshed with that....

You are the lucky owner of the original Outlaw Rampage truck. The truck was very very late 80's into the early 90's. As I recall it was the first competative nitro stadium truck. That was the truck to have as I recall, but again, I was an electric guy. That truck was way before RC10GT's existence.

The truck essentially looked like the "Ultima" or the electric version. I wasn't able to find a pic of the original Rampage, but substitute Rampage for Ultima on the box and you are part way there. Slight difference to the colors, reversed and black instead of blue as I recall.

Next I did find an Ebay auction that popped up under Google that shows the drivetrain with what I beleive to be the original OS .10 engine. Note the center mounted engine that would engage the drivetrain to the side then transfer to the diff shaft via belt drive just as you describe. Complicated to say the least. :D.

No problem on the Engine, I bet you could get an OS .12 CV to bolt in. As for a body, a body for the RC10GT may work. Fuel tank and belt.... hmm Ebay? :confused:
