will check out redcat and exceedrc, Thats the only pic I have as of now. it is in the mail and on its way to me. Just want to know if it is going to be a nightmare with no parts avalible, or will I be lucky?

Yeah i here ya about parts availability. Tying to help ya figure this out. Checking eBay to see what's on there. Do you know if this used or new?

Well I checked and it's not redcat or exceed so the mystery deepens.

Ok I think I found it. Go to eBay and search for 1:10 off-road monster mad truck w/esc rtr rc

It is used. comes with Hitec servo, radio, and reciever. The person selling it knew nothing about it other than 4wd 1/10 scale, she posted it as a hitec rc...lol I am stuck on tamiya because of what apears to be the signature battery location and motor sticking out in front of the rear wheels.

I just a better pic of it. Looks lime tamiya dualhunter. Has dual motors one in the front and one in the rear.Cthere is alot of knockoffs on eBay. Not necessarily a bad thing though. Tamiya has been known for years to produce cars with different decals to distribute them under a different brand.

It is a dualhunter.... I will beat my wife unmerciful! thanks for all the input guys. I want a big backyard basher and this aint it.

just did a search on it, give it a chance. or you could always sell it.

buy a something 1/8 nitro

not interested in nitro, wouldn't mind brushless though, been looking and I found 1/8 roller for 250 Mugen MBX5T PROSPEC nitro truggy, anyone have one?

Wife says give it a chance as well. We will see going to get all the specs and see what my opions are with it. dual motor 1 front 1 rear puts brushless out the window. looked at the tamiaya link and all I see is trouble with all those plastic gears. parts? upgrades? will have to do some research.

savage flux for sure, or e-revo for sure

Don't throw it away just yet. You can go brushless. Run dual brushless setups and use a y-harness for the receiver wires. Stock Tamiya plastic gears are known for their durability. I run a clodbuster and I know a lot of guys running dual mamba maxx systems in their clods. Every single one of them has said that they tried aluminum gears, spool, lockers, etc. etc. but the stock plastic gears are what took the most abuse. Try it out, you can get hopups from tamiya and check GPM. I think they have a few hopups for it as well.

I think the wild dagger was the first version and I think the parts are interchangeable. Here's a site you can check out

also go to ebay and serch for the store "rcdamper" they have aluminum lower arms, upper arms, and shock towers that don't look bad.

Here's a link to them

Let me know what you think of it. The more I look the more I think my daughter might like that truck.

sweat jesus I had no idea you could do so much with tamiya! You have given me alot to think about vw. thanks!

on that ebay listing it says blackfoot extreme is interchangable. New cvd's will be a must! Man thanks to you vw I am going to do alot of tinkering I think...

Hey I'm glad to help. Should be a fun project for you. Looks like the wife did good.
