As long as it is 75mhz, from the upper range of channel numbers. If it was turned for the lower range channels, it might be glitchy.
Yup, it works.
It came with an 84 but I didn't have the match so I tested it with 74 and everything works fine. It was a little fiddly getting the throttle servo sorted out (going the right direction, centered, end points set, etc.) but it's there now. I doubt that I will run it much with a MSC as they tend to be all or nothing but it's good to know that it works.
The truck needs steering bellcranks - the right one is broken and the left is cracked. I'll get those on order. While I'm at it, I'll go ahead and do that bearing upgrade you mentioned previously. The shock caps are leaking (the truck probably sat upside down in the box during transit) but otherwise it's in very good condition.
I'm very happy with it so far. :D

The bladders are probably dried out. Don't buy them separately, just buy two rebuild kits. They are cheap and the parts are good quality.

I picked these 3 up from a local seller who’s clearing out a house. The previous owner must have been a real enthusiast……

Given that we're currently in lockdown for the SIXTH time, and now with added curfew, I haven't received anything in a LONG time..... have one package waiting at work for me, although no clue when I'll be able to get it.

Got these coming in the mail too.... shiny....

Wow, I'd be embarrassed to ship that to a buyer that way.

I'm amazed at how some sellers ship stuff. Occasionally I get a package that is well overpacked, like they really want the next owner to know how well cared for it's been. Or there's the new in box Novak Edge ESC that I got. They stuck an address label and postage directly on the Novak box and mailed it that way. One area of the box took some crush damage that luckily didn't have the ESC in the area. That chassis in a envelope with random trash for packing material s definitely ridiculous.

I've been on such a spending spree lately unfortunately...

A set of sealed bearings, two motor mounts, a set of metal gears and a 3-wire steering servo for my WLToys 144001.

A set of 3-hole 1/12 scale foam wheels/tires and some random diff parts for the RC12LW I'm trying to resurrect.

An inexpensive Spektrum SLT3 radio for my Bandit.

An RJ Speed Legends kit that I spent all of yesterday building. I'll probably make a separate thread about that. Let me just say if you're going to build one, do yourself a favor and invest in a 5-40 tap!
