Hello all, this is my first post of likely many.
to start, thank you for taking the time to look at my post.
Ihave uploaded a few pictures for you to look at. if you want any more details close-ups of anything please let me know.
I was told this was a Duratrax Nitro Evader but after doing some research i don't think it is. Not knowing enough about this hobby yet i look to some of the more experenced people to help me figure out the model so i can start getting the parts i need to fix it up.
I got this machine for free so if it costs me a few bucks to get running i'm not too worried. It looks like it's been pilfered for the servos and few other items. I also have no clue where anything is supposed to go.
I found some great manuals on duratrax's website but the nitro models all have pull starts, this one doesnt. the engine also says M 1Z on i think.
Thanks for you time and any help would be very appreciated.

Thank you for the quick response.
I am assuming that this will be very hard to find parts for?
I gather towerhobbies is a good site for parts, but no MST-1 parts show up on the search.
Could any one point me in the right direction to find some teardown / rebuild documentation and perhaps a website or two that has parts? would any other models be a close enough match that the parts would work?
Also, if anyone knows of any good RC hobby stores in the Kitchener, London,Hamilton, Mississauga region i would love to know and go check them out.
Thanks,
Steve

Here you go:
http://www.nitrohouse.com/catalog/in...62_272&&page=1
http://www.carolinasrc.com/webstore/...?idCategory=19
http://www.gshobby.com/index.php?mai...sort=2d&page=2
Documentations:
http://www.mugen.eu/en/downloads.php
Should be enough to get started. But ask people on other maybe Mugen specific forums to see if they have a complete user manual with exploded views and stuff like that.

I don't think Hobby Hobby(Big one in Mississaga) carries Mugen parts, as well as Big Boys with Cool Toys.
http://www.muchhobby.com/shopping/index.php in Richmond Hill has Mugen Parts.. You can call them...
