do u think this as a New unopend car would fethch much on ebay.

I know as a new item i payed £100 but since there pritty hard to get hold of do u think i might get some ware in the region of this price.

Or should i just slap a price on it and stick it in these forums.

Personally I'd ebay it, look around for the average retail price and put it up for that with a good write up and hopefully somebody will take it off your hands.

well we though wed keep it and give it a bash ....

OHM MY WHAT A MISTAKE THAT WAS .>>>>>

Ran it in slow as per the manual for 2 full tanks

Ran it medium and lost all control (meaning cold not turn) ...

had a look and the bloody Servo has messed its gearing ....

Had a harder look and this is the problem

If you turn to far left or right the Stearing arms Pop right out of place ......

Would you adam and eve it ......

So whats happened is as we have turned sharply the metal arm has popped out and then we turned the other way and its broke the servos ...

I HATE THE SPORTWREKS CHAOS ITS RUBBISH ... DO NOT BUY ONE  ...........

Pics of the problem Now ... (ps this has a quality control sticker on it as well hahahahahahaha) what a joke ...

There is a fix for that  O0 put a small piece of fuel tubing in the drive cup then put the dog bone back in and when you turn the fule tubing will keep the dogbone in nice and snug , as for the servo , give them a ring again tell them what has happened and see if they will send you a new servo worth a try

I emailed them today and they have said to give them the details of my local model shop and to take it back to him. The car is being replaced / Refunded ...

To be honist thats enough for me buying or even trusting them. im all ready £65 down in expenses on this model.

The car is just not worth it.

Very poor build quality, very poor workman ship, very poor quality control. Over all this car is a pile of junk and is not worth the £100 price mark it demands here in the UK. In fact it not worth £15 as i have a car that costs that , and it works lol ....
