Another vintage RPS Yokomo

I thought I'd share this with folks.
I didn't preserve my original RPS Yokomo SE. Being a stupid kid, I didn't think about taking care of stuff. Luckily, I did buy this extra kit back around '89 from a shop in NY state. It sat around and the shop decided to sell a few parts out of the kit. I bought it for not much and got distracted with scratch-built, chain-driven 4WD buggies. I think that saved me from running and ruining this one. Plus, Schumachers and Optima Mids were out, and they were making my SE look old.
The only thing it needs to be completely new would be new trailing arms. I also don't have the original stock motor, but I'm not too worried about that one. If anybody has a lead on some suspension arms, I'd appreciate hearing about it. Maybe we could trade for some other SE parts? I have quite a few small parts left from my first car.
I'm also not even sure what these things are worth these days. I don't see any on EBAY. Anybody know?
