hi my canadian friend. it dont look like it has all the peices to make a complete buggy. all those little peices to buy sperately is very very expensive.

for $200 it not worth it.

that thing is missing a ton of parts... you'd be spending as much buying parts to piece it together as you would to buy it brand new.

well, here is what I'm going to try to say to save you the trouble from this parted vehicle.

Kyosho parts are very expensive. I dono if you ever had to buy kyosho parts from GPMD before (towerhobbies), but the prices were just unreal! Kyosho now has a place in california... all of us in the USA hoped prices would take a noticeable dive (i love kyosho with all my heart btw), but they didn't drop enough to convince me to get back on the kyosho wagon.

would this be your first buggy?

yes it would be my first buggy. i am no where near being a newbie in this hobby. i have had over 15 planes, sold thoes, got into boats, own my own boat club, now i also have trucks, a maximum mt and a nitro hawk st. i also had electric helis, i think in my opinion that all trucks are expensive. i just spent 199. between both trucks . for parts. k sure the inferno is missing parts and yes very expensive but as my question goes is it worth the shipping cost to canada for what is in the picture? the guy i offered this idea too seems to think that i am a scammer, i have dealt on rcc under eagle2flyer. now i am in there as NITRO_HAWK. i have recently sold my dauntless to a fellow near me. also just did a deal on rcc with another person that i got my mt from. so here i am again

IS IT WORTH THE SHIPPING COST TO CANADA FOR BUGGY? and nothing more then the shipping costs....[&:]

depends what you want it for.

if you want to build that buggy up in the pics then NO.

but if you were to buy a NEW Kanai 3, and then buy that one above just for parts then YES.

im sure the seller is not going to give it to you for shipping...fact is the parts have some value ...for you to pay shipping only would be him giving it all to you for free....im sorry but your an idiot if you think he would go for that....and he is an idiot if he does......

but yes to answer your question it would deffinatly be worth it for shipping only

"One man's junk, is another man's treasure."

I attribute that quote to Jim Downing, although I think he copped it somewhere else.
