Whoah, slightly better condition than mine. Lol. Should be a nice restore

Dang Hoopty! Nice find! That thing looks as though it was barely run, no extra holes, chassis and other metal parts seem straight, and the white plastic still looks fresh. For just $34, WOW

It's nearly as nice as my shelfer

the flash hides alot of sin, but yeah it should clean up pretty nice.

not as long as it took me to hit the bin on this one...

looks to be a pretty sweet lot for the price. i've been wanting a sprint cage and nerfs for a kinda rat rod thing for awhile.

well, i got it tore down and all clean. those stickers on the side left very stubborn adhesive stuff but it cleaned up very nicely.

rebuilding it to stock doesnt do it for me, so i'm thinkin' of keeping the 6 gear and running a worlds setup f&r. it looks like i can dremel a ton of plastic off the 6g, and i got enough of them to experiment with.... most likely a stealth fighter body. i have a chenowth but i dont wanna cut it up, yet.

i am the chosen one, the mighty hand of vengence, sent down to strike the unroadworty.

i couldnt help it, its my only built goldtub and its going to be a runner, i had to convert at least the front end to a worlds and drill it for a rpm trans. pretty much full-on rpm besides the front bulk and rear tower.

i'm thinking mamba max 5700 with 3s lipo... bummer i cant just buy a lid from tower.

looks good hoopty. i'm guessing that you have rpm team car suspension on the rear? kinda hard to tell in the pic.
