You have a mostly stock Tamiya TLT crawler. The axles are good and still popular with the scale guys. Looks like the shocks, drive shafts and upper link mounts have been changed out though. Maybe some other stuff hard to see all of it in the pics.

Back in the dark ages of crawling we would get a tlt kit and take the axles out of it to build a comp rig. It's a pretty tough truck but parts are getting scarce.

So what to do with it is up to you. For now drive the heck out of it and have fun running it. There is a TLT section too so you can go there to get ideas on improving it's performance. You should also be able to get the manual for it on the Tamiya website for part #s and such.

There's a lot you can do with it for not a lot of coin so it should keep you busy.

Thanks a lot, I'm loving crawling, just going to see what I can do with it the way it is now, try to bring it back to a stock tlt see if it drives a bit better. Again thanks, happy crawling.
