Default I just bought a HPI RS4-2 off ebay for $106.00 good/bad? Please Reply!!!

So I bought an HPI RS4-2 off ebay for $106.00 shipped to my house, is that good or bad? I get it monday so I dont know if it runs, but I am getting a CVX-18 and a 2 speed tranny for it. But overall is it good or bad? The guy bought it second hand and never drove it so he dont know anything about it or even if it works. Here it is:










What is that quest controller thing in this picture?















Here she is, with anew VX-18 enigine and the person who I bought it from never took the masking off the body after the paint, she shines now!
















Thanks to all you guys who reply!

Thanks again,
HPI Porsche

Wow! I'd say great deal! Complete Nitro, providing the engine is in decent running condition and chassis is in good condition man that's a good deal!

Well, The guy I have bought it from dont know if it runs or not, and I get it monday, but lke you said its in good shape and the motor dont look like it was abused so there is a great chance that it runs.

Anymore replies will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks again!

I would say that is a good deal. That quest thing might be for rockets.

yeah, I was going to put a 2-speed but its fast enough as it is with the VX-18, thanks for your offer anyway, I might still buy it if you still have it. I need to get used to mine. LOL sounds like a great deal. I did change the controller and the servoes out with futaba pistol grip. Thanks again.

Thanks,

That's a fair market price. The 2-speed, a header and a tuned pipe will really add some serious power and RPM to that motor.
