The Traxxas Hoss 4x4 vxlI have found the guy who made/drove the RTV prop for the movie, his name is Ben Eadie. He has made a TikTok account where he is planning on detailing his rebuild of one of the many real RTV props made for the movie. As well as answering questions about the many props he has made for Ghostbusters Afterlife. He has already answered the question of what RC platform was the base for the RTV, it was the Traxxas Stampede 4X4 VXL, as shown in this video made by himself: https://www.tiktok.com/@dreadmakerrober ... 6453471749

The ground clearance is correct ( the tires are different) the wheelbase on the RtV is shorter( by about 3.5" to 8" from 11.5"), but the design of this RC car allows for an easy shortening of the front drive shaft. The front bumper is the right shape, and the suspension is the right type and also is in the right place.
Since the tires were identified as Traxxas and they are for a 1/10 scale car, this model is the closest thing I can figure.
Many other Traxxas vehicles have the wrong suspension (visible in the trailer if you go frame by frame), or wrong chassis layout. or wrong ground clearance(The Stampede is too high).
