Hope these links work...
First car...
All electronics included, bought batteries and she ran...
2nd car (bought for $20 mainly for parts)
3rd car, just bought, e-bay link still up
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=190183382542&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=009
I'm sick and I need help.
Also, if there's anything helpful anyone can tell me about the first car just from looking at the pics I'd appreciate it (for instance, is the speed controller good, anything rare, etc-thanks), I know it's got Andy's arms in the rear and wide track arms in the front. The guy in the add said it had a six-speed tranny, but it's not a stealth by my eyes (I didn't really pay that close attention when I bought it, I just wanted one that ran).

First car pics....6 GEAR tranny, apears to be worlds steering on there too. Im not a Tekin guy, so I cant tell you much there, but the orange endbell on the motor tells me it is a Race Prep.
Not a lot of help, but some at least.

Well, I got the white one in, but very disappointing. The tires which I hoped were good ended up completed dryrotted and cracked. The tranny shown in pic had no screws holding it together whatsoever. Most of the tie rods and stuff were bent. Dogbones were bent.It just looked like this guy took every bad part he had laying around and made a car out of it. But he sure packaged it well... I don't know why he packaged it well... he could've packaged it with a bunch of rocks in the box and I'm sure it would've looked the same.
I was hoping I would get the last car (the good one) before today (4-day weekend thanks to New years and New Years Eve) , but... UPS tracking has it scheduled to arrive Jan 2nd.
Drat, drat, and double drat!!!
So now I'm bored and drinking beer. Happy New Years anyway.
