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. 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 for this 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.
A) Below Photo Before Remove to Clean and Repair
B) Some of photo that i started remove the parts and repair
C) The last photo is after clean and redo. Fully clean.
The next i will add in a body and engine just to show. Know i have a clean KYOSHO superten for display. Another rework projeck finish hiphip huray.

Final do wheel alaiment only camber can be adjust, Toe in and out can do because the plastic rules too short.
