And in the box there is one car (black body) and 75% of the second one (white body, new) : missing a chassis, transmission, rear axles, and front springs.


And that means I will have to possibility to precisely model the CJ-7 body shell like I did for the Land Cruiser.

That looks fantastic! Another RC vehicle I neve knew existed.

By the way, does anyone know if the CJ-5 body has ever been reproduced in 1/10 scale? My brother had a Levi edition CJ (1977 I think) and I really want to make an RC model of that vehicle. Lexan is okay but hard plastic would be best. thanks.

This one was crammed into a storage unit, which is why it is a little mangled. Pay attention to this guy: https://www.ebay.com/str/thetoyshops He recently purchased two storage units filled with thousands of pieces of 70's - 90's RC, and a lot of it is NIP. I have seen just part of the collection, and it is nice! I have been invited to walk through his stuff in the near future. He isn't giving it away though. I made him one offer on one other car (built but never ran Eliminator with #3 painted body), and I did not end up with it.

"HOLY COW! That one belongs in a museum. "



This was bought so that I could actually have a Sprint car! My hand built chassis just never worked out the way I wanted it to, and I back-burner'd it quite some time ago. This kit is definitely getting opened up and used!
