HISTORY OF THE BUGGY & WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT:
Buggy has been in use since the late 2000s up to 2019.
The original engine lasted a really long time until it stopped starting.
I upgraded the Buggy with an Alpha .28, 3 Port Engine in 2017. A more powerful engine compared to the Original PRO.28 engine.
It was still working until my pull starters ropes snapped late 2019.
Then 2020 happened.
It has been sitting in my room unused since 2019.
The buggy has signs of wear and tear, especially underneath it on the skid plate.
Front left wheel is a bit more skew than the others, it is adjustable with the correct tool.
I replaced both rear shocks. That is why they are different colors. One of the older shocks broke.
The skid plate underneath is bent a little upwards in the front and rear, if that makes sense. Either it is due to all the crashes the buggy has been involved in both rear and front wise. OR it could be because of the ramps that were done on-road, with how the buggy landed on the road and grinding the skid plate material down over time to look like that. It could be both. I am unsure if it was always like this for a good reason, which allows the buggy to have better clearance without getting stuck when off-road.
Front right wheel axle is cable tied to enable 4WD due to a tiny rod that went missing. Without it tied, then the buggy is 3WD, the front right wheel still functions without it tied.
I no longer have AA batteries for the remotes. (4 needed for normal remote and 8 for the digital)
One missing screw that hold down the electronic control arm that turns the front wheels left or right. It is suspended in the air without both screws, not sure if you really want to use it this way.
I made sure to check if every screw was tightened.
Tarnish.
This model of buggy is extremely durable. Replacement parts are easy to find here locally.
REASON FOR SALE:
I am no longer interested in the hobby. Was hoping to return to it after all these years but never did.
It is taking up space in my room and collecting dust.
