Default cheap scale crawler



i have bought this and was wondering if anyone has an idea
what it looks like. im assuming its a copy of something and
just from the shape of the diff lockers, its familia. i cant remeber
though what it looks like.
i wanted a scale crawler, i know that is something that this isnt,
but it was cheap and hey i have already paid for it. its mainly gonna be
a trail rig. cheers.

Looks very similar to an Axial AX-10 to me.

sizes are different:</p>

WB is 13.3" long (AX-10 is closer to 11.5-12")</p>

looks alot like the AX-10.  My guess is getting spare parts is going to be a nightmare.</p>

Looks like AX10 axles. The links may be longer which would account for the longer WB. I just helped a friend extend his AX10 by swapping out the aluminum lower links with steel links for a Revo. It's about 1 1/2 - 2 inches longer now.
