My stock gold tub ebay gamble... and payoff!
Here are some pics from a recent auction win I got. It was a gamble with the pictures being a little distant, but it paid off well. After tearing the car down it appears to have been run once or twice and then put away and forgotten about. It cleaned up way better than I had expected.

Re: My stock gold tub ebay gamble... and payoff!
nice car, great clean up.
Somewhere out there is a pack of gremlins with a stash of 100's of white battery straps.
They have a cousin that eats losi straps too

I think we were all watching that one. At this point, it is safe to say that if a fellow kept the box............

Re: My stock gold tub ebay gamble... and payoff!
Thanks guys! I was probably bidding up against some of you too!
It ended up going for $110 so it was a good score considering how well it cleaned up. It's going on the shelf so I don't mind it being a bushing car. It'll be completely stock with similar paint to the box car but with different colors. 1/4th and the last of my RC10 collection. Pics of my Siebenelch car should be coming soon too.



If you've got a couple to spare, I'd be interested.scr8p wrote:looks great keith. i might have a couple white battery straps if you need them. i'd have to look, though. let me know.

Love the outdoor pictures as the lighting seems really good. Great shots, shows it off well.

Very very nice Keith, good price and amazing cleaning job. This is actually the first time I see these tires with an AE logo on them, they must be pretty rare and it looks like they came with the kit... but who knows?

I actually found a set NIP just like Keith has on his car. It was a scary ordeal, cause temple actually learned something that he didn't know..... imagine thatAsso_man! wrote:This is actually the first time I see these tires with an AE logo on them, they must be pretty rare and it looks like they came with the kit... but who knows?

Yes, they have the AE logo in the tire molding, but I have no idea if they came with the kit or were aftermarket. I can only assume that with the limited runs that this kit had that the tires came with it.
