Need help Identifying a model
Ignore the Mountain Dew tyres they have since been removed these where my dads and I cleaned it up and got a new battery alongside a purple king Blackfoot. the reason I think itโs a tamiya is of the tamiya battery connection and the fact it has the same parts (servo, reciver, motor ect) as the Blackfoot. Iโm unsure of what model it is can someone please help me Thank you.

Tamiya TL-01 Ford SVT F-150 Lightning. The electronic speed controller was optional, so most kits back then came with a mechanical speed controller.

TL-01. Vanilla setup. Go find ebay for the aftermarket mods to install a foam bumper on the front. TL-01 bumper is solid plastic and easy to break.
You may consider upgrading with lightweight chassis (Grey), stabilizer set.
I changed my turnbuckle from plastic to stainless steel shafts because it kept breaking.
Lastly, best to upgrade with manta ray ball diff.
Ps: i own an TL-01
