Help ID Kyosho 2wd Gas Truck

[guggles]

I am unable to properly identify the name of this chassis that I recently acquired. It seems like somebody in the community with their vast knowledge of vintage RC's may be able to help me.

Here it is! It seems like a cross between the Kyosho GP Outlaw Rampage Pro (the old one not the recent model) and a Kyosho Sandmaster. It has the Pro suspension and an aluminum chassis but has a Sandmaster style transmission with a slipper. What do you guys think this is? Is is a Sandmaster with upgraded suspension and chassis or a Pro with a lower level transmission? Or is it a completely different model? 



Thanks in advance! 












Also the rear wheel axles use a tapered fit with the metal hexes and there is no pin! I thought that was quite interresting.

I thought outlaw rampage pro at 1st glance but you already noted the differences.

I enjoyed the hunt and learned something. Appears to be a Nitro Pro St from 1996. Mystery solved.

Ahhh Wow, great find. I think this car has not been run much as its in pretty good shape.

I was starting to go slightly mad not being able to figure this out. Thanks so much. I wonder if this is more rare/more desirable than the Outlaw Rampage Pro? I think three years separate the trucks and they share a lot of common parts. The biggest differences I can tell are the gearbox, chassis and rear pivot brace.

Atleast when I search for parts a new Kyosho model with the same exact name wont come up (Outlaw Rampage Pro) Really going with the Chevrolet naming convention there eh Kyosho!?

I can't say I know anything about it, I had a Pro-X once and recognized the family and somehow ended up here.

They have an updated gearbox that is more robust than the Nitro Rampage. The SST differential issue was resolved.
