I lightly restored this a few years ago. I rebuilt the 2-speed gearbox and made custom linkages. I only ever drove it once and that's all I needed. It just sits pretty on a shelf now with my Tamiya 3-speeds. The plastic front bumper brackets were glued back together sometime in the past, but are fairly stout. They survived it's last postage journey to me. The body has a few minor defects, most notably the windshield looks like it was shot at with a bb gun. I have my eye on a Redcat Impala now and this is the one I chose to relinquish.
