I don't know of the ad but it is a Turbo Mirage, same body the production worlds car used. Judging from the front body mount hole, it was probably on a worlds car

Radio Control Model Cars was the #2 RC magazine in the US before it folded in the mid 90's, so unless that decal was added afterward it probably wasn't in RC Car Action. When companies would send a car or truck to a magazine to review, they would often send along a painted body like this. I have the RCMC World's Car review at home someplace, but I don't think that is the car.

Isn't that one of the team car box art color schemes? Different design, but same colors? Cool body either way. 8)

if it was an ad it might of been in black and white. that could be why it's a little hard to distinguish.

maybe an ad for rc model cars to sell subscriptions??
