That's a Duratrax buggy chassis not a JG SRT long wheelbase chassis. Still nice though.

Also the wheels (I think) are Pro-Lines.

1) Vintage RC will increase in value (people will want the authentic golden era RC stuff) I'm not sure about this one. As our group ages there are going to be fewer collectors as some will pass on, and more will be entering retirement and have to slow down/stop purchasing RC due to fixed incomes + ...
