That is an HPI RS4 PRO2. I had one in 1996.

That's HPI's 2 speed...most people took them off and just went with a single spur gear.

the pro2 came out in 99. the rs4 was from 96, with a 3 gear to a belt drive, then the pro came out 1997, twin belt drive. the pro2 came out in early 99.

Thanks for the info guys, anyone care to take it off my hands. It looks to be in excellent condition. I even have it with a brushless motor and esc. No body included. Make me an offer.
