Literally just won this pile on Ebay. Gonna do a box art mint restoration. The pic is from ebay, dont have it yet. I do already have a new body and decals comin, along with new wheels and tires. Tires are like the originals comin from kuwuit. Shocks will be comin from Japan so gonna take a while, but gonna be a beaut!

Nice score, and a steal at that!

Dropped an "F" load on parts just for the body. I will have $115 in the body before its even painted, and that doesnt count the driver figure. These Assaults aint cheap to restore! Car has been shipped, its on its wy

You've fallen down the rabbit hole... Hey, look at the bright side, at least you got it cheaper than you thought you would.

They call it the Assault for a reason..... that's what it does to your wallet!

Watching this resto with interest...

I know its not exciting, but its a start. Its all thats come in so far, and thats over a c-note right there!

I can't believe RC Screws sells a screw set for it. That's pretty cool.

They know its the Holy Grail of rc!

I'm holding out for the electric conversion kit.

Mabuchi!

That's more of a tease than getting e-mail notification from the forum saying that Thumbs has posted in the Picture of the day (taken by you) thread... almost...
