anybody here buy the gold tub chassis that had a piece of carbon fiber attached to it? it was on ebay a while back, than it was taken off. for some reason i think someone offered him some money for it, which obviously he took. it was creatively well done. i think i have some pictures of it. let me rummage around.

I just bought a worlds car from that seller! It was listed as a team car but it has the milled chassis which I don't think the team car had? Any one see this before I snatched it up BIN for $99? It needs to be restored but I think it was a good deal?

from the looks of it, it looks like he also took apart a b2 chassis just for the battery.

Hmm, mine looks like that.

Pressure-washing seemed like a good idea at the time...
