Oooh thanks for this, i’m gonna search on these companiesNot an fg. I've learned there are a lot of cars out there that are similar. I was thinking maybe smartech or nutech but tray has me wondering. The U.S. didn't get a lot of cars from overseas thus making our base knowledge of them lacking. I'll give a shot at it later as I've just looked at pics briefly,I might get lucky.?
Sure, i will make one when i restore it but first i gotta buy a couple of rare models i found in one store (like graupner OS NSU 49-PI wankel engine and a vintage kyosho boat with OS outboard nitro engine on it) and then i will restore it.Whatever it is its cool, and I hope you get it out to run. We want video if u do.?
No identifying marks anywhere? Of any kind?Same here and my country’s laws and taxes make things worst but my plan is to get one no matter what
Back to the topic
It looks like this smartech model apart the exhaust View attachment 59715
Generally that's the problem. For some reason a lot of cars don't have markings. I think some is to avoid possible lawsuits for infringement. Then there are the super cheap copies that probably don't want you to know cause they suck. That's why every other car you see says "FG" cause that's their hope to sell them. There are some good cars out there or you can make them good anyway. As in anything popular there's going to someone willing make cheaper price point item. The ones that copy FG the closest can interchange parts,so you can upgrade them. I'm always scratching my head on eBay cause "everyother" car is a FG.No identifying marks anywhere? Of any kind?

It's incredible what they try to pass off as FG even if there isnt a single FG part or design,it's still an FG and of course, they want top dollar.?
Smartech/Nutech/Carson depending on model can be upgraded with fg parts.
That car I would just clean up and fix what's needed and run.?
Beside the engine that's a Zenoah G230RC engine there isn't anything else.No identifying marks anywhere? Of any kind?
Oh this one with the Samba it's not mine, i found it on internet and looked like very similar with mine. It's and Smartech model.Generally that's the problem.

Edit: that's a good exhaust design,it looks like a Samba or other aftermarket,i can't read what it says but it looks good.?
