Iwould spend the extra $200 and buy it brand new. At least you know that it will be builtYOUR way and not someone else's.There area lot of people out therewho shouldn't have tools if you know what Imean.The majority of the baja's that areout there are beat to death. If youare gonna go for it,I would suggest that you havethe seller take MANY pics of everything close up...even though you still wont get the whole story from them. Sometimes it's just not worth saving a few dollars. From past experience, I would never buy any r/c stuff used unless it was right in front of me.
