Looks like a Thunder Tiger chassis, but the manual hints that it's a cheap Chinese one. Thunder Tiger aren't exactly brilliant... So a cheapo won't be fun to get/keep running.
In my opinion, it's not worth the hassle. Nitro is so much hard work, a nightmare to get set up right, breaks all the time and makes a horrendous noise. Electric with brushless and LiPo is the way to go for me. Can be just as fast depending on your motor/gearing choice, with instant power delivery and much more reliability. Just get a couple of batteries.
I enjoyed my electric Tamiya much more than my Thunder Tigers and the others. That reminds me, I need to get my HPi Baja together so I can flog it.
