That looks like it may be a Parma chassis, they used it for many vehicles like the popular Hemi Coupe but also a Dodge Ram truck. What do the wheels look like?

I thought parma as well, but the front axle plate is different than parma's shape.

It is shaped a bit differently but bolink always had that 5 bolt front plate and generally used a pod with separate cast aluminum sides. It may be scratch, or a smaller manufacturer too. The design just looks very Parma

This model is at my parents' house, I'll bring it home this weekend and get better details/more pictures ((the only pics I have right now are from the years-old eBay auction)).
It does have a Dodge Ram body, so that Parma model might be a good guess?

The box says "by Parma International" under the white "Dodge Ram Truck"
Could be a promotional kit Parma made for Dodge to sell?

Doh my bad. Came to the conversation late and didn't realize gomachv's post wasn't a question...it was an answer to Didaz's ID request.

I'm pretty sure you guys nailed this one as a Parma chassis!
It has been modified to run the battery lengthwise using two RC10 battery cups:

with Dodge Ram body and BoLink wheels:

and a custom electronics platform which doubles as a battery hold-down:
I'm gonna submit this one to the B/S/T section, as soon as I find the transmitter...

Got these in a lot. I identified most of the other cars. Mostly TRC LYNX. Also came with a rc10L Super Speedway Box. So I know these are a set up 10L's just not sure of exactly what the model is. Thanks guys!

Chassis is aftermarket...I think Composite Craft and the rest of the parts do look like they're from an LSO

That would make sense. Came with a bunch of Composite Craft stuff. Manuals and all.
