Default Identification of a chassis

Hello,

I found this car among a box of cars which include an original Tamiya Hornet and a Midnight Pumpkin that I have had since the 90's. My buddy of 30 years that used to race with me thinks it is a Traxxas Hawk 2. If anyone knows what this car is please let me know. I would like to restore it if I could.

Thanks for your help

Associated RC10 with an aftermarket graphite chassis and truck conversion.

You have NO idea what you're talking about! Front body mount might be off a Hawk but the rest is RC10 all the way, except for the white Andy's front arms....I smell a troll.

I am not a troll. At least, not usually. The burden of proof is all on my Opponent, he must convincingly argue that I am a troll. I am permitted to Cross Examine him. To win I only need to disprove my Opponents arguments, I will not post my own.

Troll..maybe not, doesn't change the fact that your first post here calls people fools when you clearly don't know what you're talking about. So, not a troll, just grossly uneducated? (in vintage R/C)

And, that is not a Hawk 2 body mount on the front shock tower. My first competition RC was a Traxxas Blue Eagle,, a basket case at that. I still have the iridium finished graphite chassis for it.
