Wherever it is Kyosho, it is parts. But you have to find out if it is worth to rebuild it, or just buy a new car and use this one as source of spareparts. You need a new body, which is a bit on the pricey side for these cars, new tires, new engine (or just convert to electric while you are at it), but othervise it looks complete. Needs a little clean up though!

I have a project thread going [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_10746508/tm.htm]here[/link] where i am going to convert it to electric when i get the chassi/car, it is 10 days until the [link=http://www.kyosho.com/eng/products/rc/detail.html?product_id=107744]Fiesta S2000[/link] hits the market here, this is the one i will get.

I will custom make a motor mount in aluminium and some other details by myself. But [link=http://www.kyoshoforum.com/drx-discussion/1149-kyosho-drx-brushless-conversion.html]here[/link] is a nice thread on the Kyosho forum about converting the car, which also includes a link to [link=http://www.infernosonly.com/Convert_your_Kyosho_DRX_Rally_car_to_a_Brushless_s/988.htm]this[/link] site that lists the parts needed for a bolt on-conversion.
