30/9/2024. My first nitro buggy. Buy another secondhand 1/10 RC, SMARTECH SWORDFISH Nitro Buggy no 103450 a 2005 product. No body and Remort for only Rm170 in Kajang Perdana. Meet up in Kip Mall Bangi. History of this buggy belong to nephew study on board. Left unattend. Not heavy scratch under chassis. Engine using 15 CXP size. Just play few time then keep a side because under chassis still a QC pass sticker still have no torn or scratch. Battery found in receiver box year 2009. Another good jackpot RC to own.
