So, Hi all...first post and I am completely clueless about the world of nitro R/C...here's what I do know:
1. I'm mechanically inclined...(I was a automechanic and welder for some years)
2. I have need of a new hobby... (guns aren't allowed in Japan)
3. I just bought this thing on a whim off the bay...and I might be a fool for it.
So...heres my question: does this look like something that is worth putting work into? Should I start from scratch and drop 300$ on some RTR kit? Please see the pictures below...
Looks like a lot of the wrong screws were used in a lot of places. Motor is seized, could just be really gunked or could be bad. Gas tank cap missing. Both servos are there. Some extra pieces /parts on the side... Has the traxxas 27mhz rcvr and transmitter. Xmtr battery cover has broken tabs too.
