That is an Xpress car. I believe it is a regular edition one. Hard to tell from the pics. It could be a Mike Swauger Edition but more then likely it is just a regular one.

Hope this helps. The Xpress is a great car. I have one and so do some of my friends. We still race them every once in a while. A very competitive and capable car. Extremely tough.

If you're in the U.S., Ultimate Hobbies was/is the importer and they should be able to help you find a manual: http://www.ultimatehobbies.com

It is indeed an older Roadrunner Xpress.I used to be sponsored by Xpress and ran the MK3 cars (Mike Swauger edition).

KO charger. When you press start you must hold it down for a couple of seconds to begin charging. The knob allows you to adjust the amp rate at which you wish to charge.

good luck finding a store up here that stocks those parts.
Cant say its a popular car.
There might be a shop in TO that carries them, or would be able get them for you.
Check with Galaxy, or Toronto RC.
Derry at galaxy is a helpful guy, and even if he isnt able to get the parts for you, he might know someone that can
