Default Help me identify this car...need parts

I bought this car and can't seem to figure out who made it. It's a 4wd with an OS .12 engine, which I know isn't the original motor. I have more pics also. Any heelp would be greatly appreciated.

There's no identification on the chassis nor is there any type of marking on the whole car. Was told it might be an older ofna, but it looks like it has traxxas style drive alxes. The OS was aftermarket on it. Thanks

Looks like it was custom built to me.

I 'think' its a Panda make.. They are the only type ive seen with the flat chassis and pipe like that, but really cant be 100% sure. May be worth searching and seeing if it matches.

My O.S. .15 CV is an excellent mill...not to mention the extremely old O.S. .12 CZ I just rebuilt with a new sleeve. It probably saw 3-4 gallons through the last one. What's wrong with O.S? If you ask me...the only crap ones are Dynamite!

Mabye it's a G.V. Mine has similar parts placement, but it definatly isn't the same car. If you're interested, click the link below for a comparison.

Looks nice though, I like it! Let us know if you find out what it is.

The car is an original ofna pirate 10 (I've had a couple of them). The kit did not come with an engine or electronics. From the pictures, it looks to be completely stock (except for the tires - the wheels are original though). The only thing missing on the buggy is the battery/radio tray that belongs to the right of the engine.
