Looking to restore an older RC10 buggy

How much do RC10 Worlds usually go...

Just realized that the Factory Lite is meant for dirt and clay. Is there any way I can make my Factory Lite work on carpet?

I already bought heavier shock oils. What else do I need? Weights?

You know the little tiny grub screw you put inside the pinion gear on a 1/10 buggy? Will your included driver heads fit that? I don't know the size of the grub screw.

If so, I'm interested.

Sorry for the late reply.
I went to a RC shop in Dayton about two days ago, and I got a Reedy sensor wire (6 pin) to replace my old one, along with a rather large 48P 29T pinion gear.
