Default From the attic it rises

So, I bought this new in 2009, built it and never touched it again till now.I even have the box. Body is not even painted. Tryin to decide what to do with it. Breaking it in and run it, back in the box and store it?

I have been out for sometime now. Stopped racing years ago. Got the savage out a couple weeks ago and have the bug again.
Not for racing but just playing now(bashing)...

I still have mine, was a blast running and racing it. Once in a while I think about converting it to electric, but never get past just thinking about it.

Why would you take it out of the box just to put it back in again? That's completely irrational.

SO I decided to run the old girl instead of sell her off. . I pulled out the HPI F series motor and opted to install one of my Jammin JPX.28.
I have two of them but this one is broke in and stored it afterwards. Many years ago. haha.. I went ahead and upgraded the
servos as well. I am now awaiting on mother nature to give some heat to stretch her legs..
Right now its only 46 degrees so we'll stretch her out this afternoon. Supposed to see almost 70.
Old guy excited!!
