Craigslist find :: What'd I get??
Picked this up local on Craigslist for pretty cheap. I've been wanting a graphite car for a while now (not really been wanting a 6-gear, but it is what it is) and the wheels were just a huge bonus. Help me ID this thing.. take your best guess at what I got? Also, who made these wheels??

Re: Craigslist find :: What'd I get??
LOL, it came with an old Futaba stick radio, 6 cell pack and charger. For the hell of it I flipped the switch on the radio.. and the light came on! So I plugged the battery in and the servo twitched! I'm digging for a bearing for the 6-gear right now as it had a blasted out top-shaft bearing and if I can find one (3/16 x 5/16 I think??), this thing is getting blasted around the front yard before it gets torn down for the hydrogen peroxide bath

Looks like a good little buggy. how much did you pick it up for?

tdevilman77: The top bearings in this 6-gear are flanged.
shodog: $125
It's been disassembled for mega-cleaning. Post up more pics when I get 'er back together. Still super happy I picked this one up

Yeah, I went back and forth on it for a few days and decided I should snag it just because the chassis and wheels looked clean - glad I didbolinkfan wrote:Hey,you beat me by a day on this one....I texted back n forth w/ the kid but got rerouted and didnt get to go south ,I really thought he took it off just because I didnt get to him like 3 days in a row just to spite me...Anyway nice score...
