If you get it I would put front and back ends on that battery tray before I used it with LiPo, or the strap will dig in to it every time you accelerate or brake hard and may cut into it should you hit something solid.

Seems like a good price if it really is in as new condition, could be a quick and cheap project, the photos aren't good enough to see the quality or condition of what is there.

I sold that buggy with all of those extra parts to him a few months ago for $125. The buggy was in excellent shape with very little use, but wasn't "new" when I sold it. Maybe he did some upgrades on it to make it new again?

Looks like he bought a new kit and put the parts on it? There is a second "parts" car that look like it's about complete...

The second parts car came with it when I sold it too.

Like I said, "when I sold it" I dont know what has been done to it since. It is possible that it is a new kit, but that is the motor mount and battery tray and cut servo tray and tires and body and spare parts and everything appears to be exactly the same.

That's like giving it away Jeff!

The buyer was a fairly new forum member who was looking for his first "big" brushless vehicle and I had this sitting in a closet not being used for a couple years now. It was the first one I ever did so I offered it at a very nice price with the thought of getting someone involved. I dont really care. I got what it was worth to me. The only parts off of it I wish I still had are the rear shocks. Those are the shocks that UE sells for thier maxx suspension setup and there were 4 good rear shocks in all in that package. The rest of the ofna buggy is a rather cheap buggy at $180 new and like I said.... I wasnt new when I sold it. Dont get me wrong. Its a good starter project. Thats what I used it for. Once I realized I liked the brushless buggy thing I quickly wanted to get a better buggy. Maybe thats what is happening here. I dont know.
