The moment you have all been waiting for....

I know, I know there are bubbles everywhere, but this was my first time decaling a model or R/C car in this case.

It was made in 1996 which makes it a 10 year old kit. It is a discontinued item Tamiya doesn't sell it anymore.

I bought it from a guy on a Hobby forum for $120 shipped and he had three of them and was keeping one. The other one sold too. I saw two of these sell on Ebay from the same person (Not the guy I bought mine from) for $215 + $45 shipping. Another one might come up on Ebay.

Good luck.

However if you could find a chassis that the body could fit. You can still buy the body and decals from Tamiya and the wheels.
