description  I only got this last week in a trade with Kendalboatsman (cheers mate) it's a nice runner project, for now though I have thrown it together and put some electrics in it so I can race it tomorrow at Nottingham #TC2012 the truck is pretty stock, it has some bearings and the gear box still has its original grease in it, I plan on rebuilding it after the weekend. I used the electrics out of my Traxxas Stampede and the old girl goes well all comments welcome. thanks for looking Mike

Great shots and nice work! I've really come to like these a lot over the last couple of years probably in part because of all the cool ones I've seen on TC.

Yellow suits the MB's quite well. It'll be nice to see how it turns out after restoring it. Good luck this weekend.

Love the action pictures. Also, I like your work with the rear body posts. Cheap solutions are always nice. Great bug!!
