parts availability and trans durability

[ChaosKevin]

At our little backyard track, we don't have shelf queens. If it is capable of running it will run. One of my old race buddies and Brother has an original XX that I am sure is just sitting on a shelf/box somewhere around his house. If parts are available still and it can be powered by a mild brushless motor, I will encourage him to put it back in service. If they are better as show-pieces than I will encourage him to sell and get something track-worthy. At this point he only has a 1/16 revo which is crazy-fast but completely unstable compared to a 1/10 scale vehicle.

Somebody should be enjoying this car whether on a track on a shelf.

Most parts are available, except diff gears. They are a bit rare to come by, don't slip the diff. Stuff like the the bumpers that wear fast or front arms that break often, tend to be higher in price to replace.
