Over the years I have bought and sold a fair few of these and they are great fun runners. I purchased this a few weeks ago at a car boot sale and it looked as though it had not been used for quite a few years. I gave it a quick once over, replaced the speed control with another good used manual in my spares box. First run outside in the street resulted in a loss of signal and full speed into a car tyre! It broke the previously bodged body mounts and servo saver. So a rummage back in the spares box liberated a replacement receiver. I didn't want to pay for replacement original mounts and they are fragile anyway so found some more in that trusty spares box. Will be used as a runner for now that I wont worry about giving any abuse to.

Great fun these, a bit crazy even when the r/x and Msc work properly!

Great colour! I much prefer bright paint on these, really shows off the classic curvy lines!
