Need Vintage Buggy Advice, looking at eBay auction.

Post by 987VintageRC »

IS this a good Vintage Buggy for my collection? What should I expect to pay? Thanks

Here's the eBay link. I like the body.

It looks like a decent RC10. I don't think that's the original body because that's a Viper not a Protech 2, but it's a body that would have been used as a replacement. There are at least 3 holes that were added to the chassis. I'm not sure why 2 would be added for a mechanical speed control because it already has holes for that installation.

There are a lot of nice things about it. It's worth whatever it's worth to you. Market price fluctuates and this site doesn't do valuations. There's a site guidelines topic about that somewhere.

It's your collection. You decide if it's good for it. Is there a reason why you want that specific buggy?

They are not asking a low price. You can take your time and see what the market is for buggies. There isn't a need to rush forward.

Those look like mounting holes for the large Futaba servo on an MSC. Could be the same for the longer steering servo mount as well.
