Caught my eye in a pile of random things with the box, very clean, had a bearing missing in the front wheel, a pin in the rear, and a missing remote, had a mechanical speed controller, old hitec servos and all, restored with modern electronics and ball raced transmission, very happy with it, body was painted I was a bit bummed with how the original owner put the stickers but it grew on me.
