Original box and it looks like it may never have been used. Not sure yet. I'll post pics as soon as I get it.

You'll find one you just have to keep looking.

Well, The Panda arrived today and I'm more than happy. The box is in rough shape but the contents are in great shape. The car was assembled and has never been run, I dont think it was ever even powered up. It does look like the original owner may have lost a couple things over the year and replaced them. The MSC resistor isnt the original unit (be interesting to see if I can find one to match the original) and wouldnt work in the factory mounting position if the car were to be a runner (which it wont be). I'm guessing the headlights were lost at some point because there is a set new in package (I dont recall the originals coming like that but it was '88 when I got the car and I cant barely remember last week). He wasnt able to locate the radio they bought for the car originally but I had a Futaba Attack 2 stick so that doesnt much matter to me. That being said, I'd never heard of the electronics that were installed in the car (still has the receiver and servos) which are Acoms. I'll have to google that a bit later to investigate.

Anyways, enough rambling

That looks very presentable. If I remember correctly, I picked mine up partially built for around $45. I had to source a new front shock tower and front shocks. These cars are pretty cool, even if they make a grasshopper look like state of the art.

Anyone know the story behind the wheel colors? I inherited quite a few yellow sets nip and one white set, which I see a car on this thread is displaying. I don't recall ever seeing a white set in the pictures bitd.

You know its slow around here when I'm asking about Panda parts LOL
