OK,
I think this one was last years build and I think it also was one of those "D'agostini"

Right,
One of my buddies collected the Lot and never bothered to assemble it. Every part is there for it.
I think it may be a Kyosho.
Anyone remember it?
Well, He offered it to me the other night If I wanted to buy it.
Could anyone give me an idea of its value?and if they are any good?
This would be purely used as a fun machine for messing about in a car park and up and down my street to terrorise the dogs

I dont think the Shell is there nor are any electrics.
Basically a rolling chassis with engine and drivetrain.
cheers

Hmmmm - maybe 250 EUR new incl body & radio.
How about 150 EUR car incl body, or 110-125 EUR chassis/engine/no body?
New values above.
So 2nd hand (with hidden undiscovered problems) 2/3rds of that = 80 - 90 EUR?
Say abt 50 to 90 for the chassis?

Am I being harsh? It IS unassembled.

It is totally unassembled.

I dont think there is a Body shell nor any electrics with it.
