I presume a very early model as it is mounted with two battery holders, later versions moved the battery up the middle like all current 2wd buggies. To identify its age if you take out the motor and look at the chassis there you should see nothing (meaning it's very early) or the letter A stamped into the chassis.

Front nose plate and shock mount is the Hot Trick wide nose conversion
Front shocks are Kyosho Option House golds
Steering setup is also Hot Trick
Chassis is original gold sprayed blue
Rear bulkhead is an early version as it just has the 9 upper link mounting points, it doesn't have the inner upper link mounts that all later ones had. Unfortunately the previous owner has cut off the battery holder.
Rear shocks are Schumacher Cat, but with RC10 spring adjusters
Anti roll bar is Tamiya parts
Front wheels are Dynamite copies of Tamiya Wild One fronts and front axles have been changed to 5mm ones to fit wheels.
Rear wheels are Tamiya Wild One rears, with alloy adapters for them.
I knew i would find out more on here but HELL terry
Cheers for that i knew about the shocks,im taking it apart at mo so will update as it goes along.
So looks like i will need wheels and front axles and rear ones to?.
