Unless you are getting this rig dirt cheap (no pun intended), you would probably be better off getting a new rig for sure!! This is a possible late 90s/early 00s FG Modellsport chassis for sure; the actual line name, not so sure. You are looking at $150/$250 for a body, at least $100 for a set of tires to get started, at least $100 for a new exhaust pipe, about $250 in good servos, all this not counting if the engine still starts. So, you are looking at $600/$700 dollars plus the cost of buying it and not counting if you have to get a new engine or redo the one on the rig and tons of paint to paint the new body. You can get a FG Sportline RTR for about $1000 to $1600 depending on what onroad model (short, long, or F1 chassis) you want to roll. FG offroad RTR kits are a little cheaper (under $1000).
