Its really hard to have a "junk" 1/5 scale. The only company that has really mastered that though is XRC. They have dirt cheap vehicles, but there aren't many happy owners out there. Hopefully what he saw was indeed an XRC vehicle.

The next question is... was it a 4wd vehicle? If not, its no redcat

I'm pullin for the name "Tempest"... Description: 1 : a violent storm
