Browsing eBay ran across a very nice never driven later year GT. was planning on bidding until I saw the location. He lived 10 min away from me so I contacted him and purchased it cash in hand before any other bidders made it to it. I'm very happy...

No. The seller told me the engine was started when he bought it but he wasn't a nitro guy and couldn't tune it so that's why it wasn't driven. He moved onto electric and this sat ever since. I cycled the engine and it turns fine. There is a bottle...

Tough loss.
But if you think about it, look at all the technology he saw over the years and how things had progressed. Its funny that some of the younger kids I race with sorta understand Nimh packs but mainly run lipo.
