I don't think the carpet is green and you would have to exercise your imagination to describe the truggy as RC without the electronics so I disagree.....

This place used to be more mature, someone sensible will come soon.

My mistake, it's Japanese Army Grey:

which, to be fair, does have quite a sage green vibe to it.

Getting back on topic, I reckon it's a nitro, as that looks suspiciously like a transmission and radio box (quite similar to the Terra Crusher TGM-02.) It also has the whole "push me pull you" thing going on with identical front and rear bumpers (with spot lights?) which is common on 1/8 scale nitro truggies.

The suspension arms look quite Team Academy-ish.

All that said, I've had a good search through https://www.rcscrapyard.net/ and can't find anything matching.

I think it's a electric monster truck as those side pods are looking like battery cases.

After a little research I think it's a Reely BIG 1. It was sold by Conrad Electronic in Germany. Don't know if it was also sold under different names by different companies.

I was also right about the carpet, we're at the top of our game here, we're just not appreciated enough.

Mr Tamiya himself should really visit us all at home and ask our opinions on what models to deliver next, and he can cut my lawn while he's there. 😁😃😄

So I picked it up for £5 it’s in a pretty bad shape but I figured, for that price it was worth it.

In that case best check very carefully for hairline cracks.

To be fair, you only said it wasn't green, which means you may have thought it looked red, which would have been even more wrong than me. So, can we really say we are at the top of our game? Yes, absolutely.

I am constantly telling people (my wife especially, but only because I don't really talk to anyone else) I'm not appreciated enough. The wisdom, whit and wisdom (there's a lot of it, so I think it deserves another mention) that I impart on a daily basis that goes unappreciated could fill several sturdy thimbles. (When was the last time you saw a thimble? Does anyone use them anymore? Has the excessive amounts of scrolling and tapping screens made the average seamstresses finger that much more callused that they are no longer required?)

I bet Mr. Tamiya has a fantastic lawnmower. Anodised blue, undoubtedly.

I reckon a good vacuum and a going over with a Vax and it'll look great 👍

Please make your next project a TRF lawnmower. 

I can help you with the carbon fibre. 

If it's 1/10 scale it could be a carpet mower, to help @lentner3 out.

If your working on something with blades I'd be inclined to get a head start on designing some replacement mechanical opppsable thumbs and fingers

Everything about this makes me nervous. Also the high voltage 'welding'.
