That thing's pretty sweet. In good condition too. I have 5 of them. They are fun for being 20 years old.

If someone doesn't pick this up as a project truck, they need smacked in the mouth. You could do almost anything to these trucks. That rear end alone is on Ebay built for $80, if you can find it. If I had the money and didn't have these ones here, I'd snag it up for sure. I just ordered rims and tires for mine and they were $45. Someone buy this man's diamond in the rough. I have one with a Tazer 15turn ESC, a Stinger 20 turn, a Traxxas reciever, and Traxxas 2055 steering servo. I would LOVE to have the Thorp rear end in mine because of the motor I want to run but can't with the stock rear end. 13 turn Acornite is what I want to get but even with the 20T and a 3300 pack I chipped a tooth off of the counter gear. This rear end will handle just about any motor.
