It is going to stay as it is, shock oil has been drained, generally cleaned and ready to to win the shelf queen nationals.

More like the *king* of shelf queens.
Wait ... that doesn't make any sense.

Awesome!
Was this the one on the 'bay' just before Christmas? It appeared a couple of times - the 2nd time with a BIN? I must admit to being tempted myself.... but i'm really glad that you got it

As previously said, you got it for a good price....
I'm looking forward to building my 'almost new' Jrx2... I recieved one of the last peices of the jigsaw in the post yesterday - the ellusive wing buttons! However its much nicer to have a car built from an original kit when you have the box & instructions etc

I am not sure if it was on before, I logged in early one morning and there is was. It did not have a BIN, a few emails back and forth and we agreed on it, he added the BIN and now it sits in my living room for all to admire.

The years are passing, I'm getting older and I feel the need to make this puppy run! Talk me off the ledge!

It wouldn't get driven at my house. I'll send you a pm with my addy. Out of sight, out of mind.

Thanks for the offer. Maybe one day if I'm desperate someone can have it but likely I'll be drooling on it in the nursing home telling the young orderly about the days when RC ruled the world. I'll have to take an updated pic with the box art replica body on it.

Run it (but wrap it in bubble wrap first,

). Or I can trade you a nice runner for it. Just trying to help.

Yeah I can piece together a runner or two out of parts. It's the bigger collector dilemma of will this thing just sit here till one day I'm dead and no one will want it anyways. That's a bigger topic than RC though for the chit chat room.

Don't forget about the fact that something might happen to you and it gets thrown into the trash by someone cleaning out your house...now what good did it do you then

.
All in all though I say i'd run it but I don't get too much of a chance to run anything anymore

Smash it with a hammer.
Haha. Excellent buggy + good home = constant temptation. ( to run it just once, not smash it with a hammer!)
