Build build build! No point looking at an unopened box. ;)
And you got it for a good price too so it isn't going to go down in value.
Just my 2c . Great score !

Not build. Hold on to it and watch the value of new kits go up and up. Sell when your ready to sell for a big profit

if all you care about is making top dollar when you sell it, keep it sealed. otherwise, just build it. i'm sure you paid a fraction of what it's worth, so even if you build it, you'll still make money on it.

Yea, never even thought of a possible sale so it will be built but i doubt i'll ever run the thing. I'll just leave it on the shelf next to my beat up runner to remind me what it will turn into if it ever hits the dirt.....

Well, i've opened the box. The motor lable and the box have the cadallac address on them but the tires say team associated on them and the shock spring stays have no slot. Any guess as to when it was origonally bought? the guy had no idea. All he could tell me was he got it from a hobby store a couple years ago. Oh and it's a 6010 kit that says "electronic speed control not included" but it has a mechanical one in the box

I'll take some better pictures this weekend
