That looks like a Losi stadium truck ,what version ,I don't know!

I refurbished one awhile back for a guy ,an it looks like that one from the looks of the brake pad
location on the side!...

They are fun an worth restoring!....

Thanks for the reply. Does the RC itself suppose to contain a battery?

Yes ,they carry a 4.8 to a 6 volt battery pack on the back of the chassy for the receiver ,
there should be a wire harness with a plug jack that goes back to the rear!

Heres a pic of the one I restored ,its the little truck ,sorry for the blurred pic ,its the only
pic that I have of it ,it has the original body on it.

They competed with the AE RC10 trucks back in the day ,an they are still a blast to
run on an off the track!....

Nice!! Thanks alott.
Now that we know what i have any idea were i can purchase a battery for that model online?will any Nitro RC 6v battery work or would it have to be specific XTM model?

Batteries are not car specific, you can get one at just about any place that sells rc parts

The grey head engine is a big block dynamite mach 427 (.26ci) on a HPI savage engine mount. They had a grey head and orange head version. The grey head was the higher output of the two that I think came in the losi muggy. The orange head one came in the losi LST2.

Yea ,wasn't sure ,they have the similar brake set up as the Losi but not the AE set up!...
