What is This?

Looks like Mardave Cobra, but I'm about the furthest thing from a Mardave expert.

Anyone?

And what's up with those crazy knuckles?

I've seen those before. Not Mardave. I want to say AYK or Schumacher, but I'm not sure.

It's definitely a Schumacher. Looks like a CAT XLS to me.

Lol, then it's definitely odd that they chose to slap a Cobra sticker on it.

ETA: Now I see the similar body silhouette. What's the deal with those knuckles?

It’s quite obviously a Tomita Cobra, just look at the badges!

Definately a Schumacher CAT, either an XLS or even a Short Wheel Base T400. Would need a body- off shot to confirm.
It looks pretty complete and original (except for the rear damper stay).

If it's a SWB ,then congrats- you have the Daddy of them all (First Schumacher Buggy ever)

Have you tried to find out about a former RC Driver Tomita? This car looks like it has some serious racing history to me.
