Purchased this from Ebay. Was pretty beat up.


Restored most of the Chassis. The Main chassis box was burn't I guess due to short Circuit battery. Replaced.

Rear Gearbox had broken Shock mount. Replaced.


Replaced front trailing arms as they were bent up near the shock, prolly due to crashing into walls.


Replaced broken Rear Shock casing.


Still could use a new roof, and tires.


UPDATE 5/2/2009. After talking to Chris (aka Crash-Crammer), he made me aware this is the first edition release of the HS1. This can be denoted by the three holes in the bumper and bumper mount. Also, the hex bumper stay is sunk into the front gearbox.

The rear gearboxes have some minor differences compared with subsequent gearboxes, namely plastic 'fins' protruding from the suspension arm joints.

You ought to be able to find someone selling the re re parts that will fix all you still need. The body isn't that noticeably wrecked. Good looker there.
