Default Name this car

Can anyone tell me what car this is? Make? Model? Don't want to finish it if I can't get parts for it. Nevermind the motor I just stuck that in there.

Well it doesn't look to be Tamiya. Anyway, a lot of Tamiya parts actually say "Tamiya" on them. So if you don't see that anywhere I'd rule it out for sure.
Good luck.

It looks like one of the HPI RS4 cars... I don't know for sure but maybe an upgraded Pro 3.

I looked at the Yokomo cars and it looks pretty close but couldn't find the exact one, but I think you're right.

Is it worth while to finish it, will I be able to get parts for it? Just wondering if its a decent car and if I should put in the effort or get a different car? It looks like you have to take half the car apart in order to change belts. There is no way to adjust the rear belt and the front belt adjustment is marginal. I have a extra velenion motor and ecu I can put in it that should make it scream.

Anyway I would appreciate in advice.
