Ebay Auction Win
Have been wanting one of these for a while now and when one popped up on ebay I was pleasantly surprised to find that it appeared in the pictures to have a few hop ups included too.
So I set my maximum bid straight away and ended up winning for 1/2 of what I was willing to pay for it :)
It arrived today and well was I in for a real surprise. It had loads of hop ups !! Below is what I can see after a quick look and a quick open of the gearboxes.
TRF Dampers with medium springs
TA03 Aluminium Racing Steering
TA03 Carbon Steering bar
TA03 Full Bearings
Turnbuckle Tie Rod set
Aluminium Front and Rear Pulleys
Aramid Reinforced drivebelt + A NIP Spare Belt
Lightweight Counter Shafts
Front one way unit
Rear ball diff
Hollow Carbon Gear Shaft
Aluminium Hinge Pins
Lightweight Kingpins
Front Universal Drive Shafts
Front Optional Eurethane Bumper
Dyna Run Racing Stock Motor (looks like brand new)
0.4 Module TA03 Pro gear set and pinion
Stabilizer Bars
Carbon Stabilizer Retainers
Aluminium Pin Type Wheel Hubs
Aluminium Damper Spring Bottom Retainers
High Torque Servo Saver
Now I am sure I have missed a few parts, but wow. Came with the original kit box (slightly battered, but very useable) and the Original Body which is in amazing condition. A few decals lifting here and there but no splits and no cracks at all. Only downside is the rear wing which has not been painted and so has gone all yellow. I plan to rectify the wing this weekend and also use this as a fun runner. Going to fit my LRP Quantum Competition ESC and see how the Dyna Run Stock Motor is like to begin with
The wheels are non standard and look to be the 5 spoke Accord PIAA wheels and also it has semi slick rally tyres too, both of which I think actually really suit the car.
Overall I am very happy indeed. Also its hardly been run if ever, everything, and I mean everything is mint with not a single mark at all. Only the base of the chassis has 2 very light marks. I plan to hopefully get the FRP chassis conversion set and optional carbon chassis plates. So please enjoy the pics and feel free to leave a comment. :)

Thank you. Have soldered some bullet female connectors onto my LRP Quantum Comp ESC to use with the Dyna Run Racing Stock Motor (as the motor is like new I didn't want to remove the original wires)

Aren't you lucky you didn't have to put all those decals on the car.
