how to find the year

[d.shook3]

I don't know what year my blaster is and don't have a title is there any way to identify what year it is by the cereal number or something

 

[sheeblast]

it is called a VIN. (vehicle idenification number)
find it on the frame.
i know there is a thread about what the number/letter means in term of years. i want to say it is the 10th digit.

there is also a vin number on the engine. a few people who buy their blasters used they find out that the engine is a different year than the frame. maybe you would want to check
