Default Help Identifying Vintage 4wd 1/10 Buggy

I’ve had this vintage 4wd belt driven, 1/10 buggy floating around in my closet for ages and have zero idea what it is. I got it in a lot of cars over a decade ago and could never figure out what I had. My best guess is some sort of Tamiya or Kyosho, but I have zero clue.

Any ideas on what this thing is??? Many thanks for the help!

Also, I’m fairly certain that rear shock is not original... The fronts look original though.

Just a guess but I think that may be a Hot Trick chassis for an Optima/Turbo Optima?

Thank you! I just googled Hot Trick Optima and sure enough, it’s their chassis and aluminum arms kit on an Optima. Spot on, thanks a ton.

Also looks like proline Octi-grabs tires.
