Does anyone recognize what this is? I'm thinking Kyosho based on the wheels, but can't find anything that resembles it.

so it's not a conversion at all? does the buggy have a name or that's it "nitro buggy" ?

edit:

after searching "traxxas nitro buggy" i came up with traxxas nitro hawk buggy.

how about that sweet exhaust? in the tip theres an old pot pipe cap with the little hole in it. pretty funny.

Anyone know anything about this Batmobile body? I don't remember how I got it, but it's been sitting in my garage for almost 20 years. It appears to be a hand made mold and somebody took some time on the painting/detailing. I think I remember running it on an RC10 buggy converted to on-road specs.
