what tamiya is this?

[twaleta]

i found a super cool picture of a tamiya rc car (it has the tamiya sticker on the windshield) but with a aftermarket body.I just dont know what tamiya model it is does anyone know?

Not a tamiya. That's an Associated RC10. Quite an early one by the look of it.

Isn’t that a heavily modded SRB?
The gearbox looks very much like it and wasn’t the RC10 an independent front, the pic is a trailing arm.
That said it’s also got what possibly looks like a MIP or other rear trailing arm setup mod as well. 
 

Edit : here’s a load of SRB mods that MIP did and that buggy looks like it’s got more than a few of them fitted. Almost hides it’s roots

Those were my thoughts too - a SRB with lots of go-faster bits added.

Apologies. The body threw me off.

Yes, definitely a heavily modified SRB, is it one of Shodogs cars or did he have one just like it?

After a quick search this one turns up on http://pro10-classic.com/werkstatt-tamiya-srb-racer/ With a full built albeit in German, it’s quite a buggy it seems. Thanks for sending me looking @twaleta, an interesting read on a cool buggy!

Wowsers!  What a neat chassis!

Wow, there are about five Tamiya parts left in there, it looks like. Cool find! I wonder how it drives...

In general, it looks like a really neat/cool build, and i know this is going to sound mean, but i really don't like how that steering servo is mounted.  it looks like it would snap off that white plastic base given any hard impact.
