I like how the motor guard is still present at the back. Aside from the gearbox, it looks quite nice.

As for the other one: Savage etc. for 2K? Really? I also wonder how his unassembled RTR works. Is it a disassembled RTR? A RTR that was never driven? new? a kit that he's trying to sell as RTR?

You just have to hit something really hard, and it will "unassemble" itself. ;)

These sorts of ads pop up all the time on Craigslist, it seems. Someone drops $400 at Hobbytown, gets bored after a couple runs, scratches it all up, and tries to sell it for $350. Or rent comes due, and suddenly the $800 they "invested" in shiny parts for the Revo seems like a bad idea...

"RC Tamiya Falcon Brand New (Rare) - $500 (Vancouver)
I have a brand New in the box RC Tamiya Falcon comes with remote this is very nice.
contact me by phone. Unopened very nice. Price $500.00 or you can buy one at Ebay for $895.00"

It's funny how nobody ever checks to see if those cars with the ridiculous "Buy It Now" prices actually ever sell...

Tempting, but... nah, I already have a pretty nice Falcon. Paid $50 for it if I recall.
