Please help identify this Vintage Kyosho
Well friend found this in his grandpas garage and wanted to know what it was. I am not good with vintage R/C so tell me what does it look like?
We know:
2 Feet Long
Weighs 8 pounds
Comes with a gas tank (Nitro? Petrol?)
Seems to big to be a 1/8. Maybe a 1/7 or 1/6?
From the looks of it I think it is a 4wd. Front looks like a live axle.
Enlighten me.
EDIT: Forgot pictures. I did not take these or they would be 10x better but thats all I can get. (Friend lives in CA)

RE: Help identify me (Vintage Kyosho)
Maybe a Vanning?
Try to do a Google Image search on 'Kyosho Vanning' and see if that looks like it, it is hard to tell from your pic.

Could you also ask if it has trailing arm suspension up front? It does in the rear.
I've seen one before, I just cant recall the name.

It looks VERY well built to me.

I added more pictures that were sent to me. My friend said that he will sell it to me. But I would like to know what it is worth first though...

Nice shot man, I struck out first up, and it looked like everyone else was stumped too

I think I had one of those once. I don't remember what it was called but it was a real piece of crap that I eventually tossed out.
