Cox RC Car

Hello everyone. it has been awhile since I have even logged on. So I thought I would start again by starting with this. It is a Cox powered RC car. Indra and I both cannot identify it. It originally belonged to my uncle. It was given to him by a friend who could not get it going. My uncle never did anything with it. Some years later I showed up and offered to get it going. After I did we went back up there and drove it around a bit. When He saw how much work I had put in it he told me to keep it.

The car had some broken parts. I.e. The parts the hold the wheels to the car. I got that fixed and set it up with and airplane radio but could not get it to go. The engine kept stalling when I tried to get the wheels to stop. Turns out the engine is absolutely shot. So I made my own. I used a sure start pylinder and a crankcase that I ground down on to get it to fit. I used a sure start backplate with throttle. That took some grinding to to let the tube point up with needle valve sideways. After I got that on it the wheels would stop and it drove very nicely. It is pretty quick. It needs some weight in the nose. When it gets up to speed it likes to lift up the front end and get loose with the steering. besides that it is very fun.

Now the reason I am starting this thread is to see if anyone can identify the car. First off, I can say that it is not a Nissan. If it is then it is very atypical. The engine is flipped and the chasis and wheels are different.
