Looks to me like it is a 1:12th scale on road pan car. There were many, many manufactures of those back in the day, which will probably make this all the more difficult to figure out. I would suggest posting these images up on RCU or RCTech to see what those old timers say.

If memory serves me right that Futaba MC210CB ESC is capable of down to fourteen or fifteen turn motors with a 30amp fuse! Pretty amazing for the time period.

By the way, I think forty-five mph is a little bit of a stretch.. Possible, but I kinda doubt it does forty-five.

Cheers,
Kyle.
