Look like this RC has a accident. This car belong to some one sent for repair but didn't come back to collect and stay at the shop for few years spare parts is a problem. So the shop owner don't want to keep anymore he sold to me for RM66.66. (BUY 3 units for RM200 so each units is RM66.66). No fully option parts, with ball bearing on wheels, 2 speed gear and disc brake.
To repair and clean i use 3 days, luckily i already down load PDF instruction manual. So slowly rebuild it. No body cover given but i will not race this units just want to repair and collect it. No more parts sale, only few in Amazon. Hope every one enjoy my photo.
