It is not my first RC by any means. I have had all the MT's revo, savage, t-maxx, etc.. Run most the ofna buggy line, and a few onroads. It is my first truggy. I know since I opened it it is not "brand new' per say but it is as new as it can get minus a tiny sticker to seal the box. I know exactly what will happen IF I drive it but I have had it for over a month and have literally not had the time to run it. Had a family illness which has taken most of my free time and the few days I did have off on a weekend it seems to rain on me. I do pro staff fishing so when I do get a free weekend day I am usually on the water somewhere. If anyone is seriously interested ion the truck PM me and I will make the decision then and send pics etc.. I have great feedback as a seller on ebay of high end items.
