Saw this units with dirty body in Facebook sale. Saller from sentul KL, Price Rm200, a Clone Tamiya TL01 from HBX. Serching internat many people buy it event from europe country, they say no much diffrent from original Tamiya TL01, Year 2006. But after i check only front bumper clone with foam. Parts is a problem in Malaysia.
I asking for Rm100 without electronic, he agreed no motor and ESC. Is an vintage RC clone from China. Then he say with shock tower broken front and rear so i ask for reduce Rm90 and without body. Sole to me.
