I would never recommend anything used for your first vehicle. you are just asking for trouble.

this is the guy who is ellin it.

There's nothing like new stuff
you may save a few bucks but your're buying what someone else doesn't want?
I've never bought a used car that didn't have some problems. some more than others
I only buy NIB kits now

Save up a few more buck and get a new RC10gt. IMO it's the best first ST for anyone.

I would recommend buying new also. I have traded twice for used vehicles ( 1 really good condition....1 piece of crap). You know it will be right when you get it, and if not the manufacturer should replace it.

For less than $100 more you could get a new vehicle. (if you are looking for speed on a budget, this one has it)

They will both perform as good or better and they are new!!

Yup get new, There is a reason why the box has a seal on them, they were set up at the factory, and suppose to be able to run out of the box, w/ a few minor tweaks from you, it should fire right up. I purchased a brand new xxx nt, and a used one both excellent runners but the used one has well some use to it, like i need to get a new pull starter, as this one is slipping, other than that I got a good deal, and was very lucky. I have heard horror stories about people getting trucks w/ locked up motors etc from ebay.
