That’s a Bolink Invader Oval. The invaders came in different rear suspension configurations, yours being the independent. It’s the later version as well, as it has a dogbone connecting the axles. Early cars had a spring lol.

I replied to your other thread- we (Factory Works) can remake it based off one we have new in the box, but it will be a week or so before we can draw it up. Pm for details

Next on the chopping block getting the upper battery deck that was broken. I searched everywhere online for it until I posted on this form!! Thank you GoMachV @
