-it was discont'd long ago., even when new, it was around $100. I don't think they'll go up in value, unless NIB, & about 5-10yrs. down the road. Is this what you mean?

-I have the H2 4x4x4 Hummer, & 2 of the F-350 Mattracks trucks, (same platform), they're a decent truck for the money. I don't know where to get parts, since I'm not sure who actually makes them. They're not Nikko, but it could be companies most of us never heard of. I think Nikko quit selling in the USA anyway, they had to recall a product line-up of 1/10th vehicles that caught fire.

-I'm sorry to waste time yammering, are you needing a price idea to sell a MP, or to buy one?

-oh yeah, I'd go for it., remove the front bumper, & run a piece of elect. or duct tape under the servo, & you'll have much better clearance:tmb

Go for it JUST for the body!!! Those Chevys are horribly awful in lexan and this one's the ONLY one to have the correct '88-'98 Chevy generic shape!! Use it on a real hobby RC Monster truck frame and you'll be more than pleased!! Myself i've been running after one of these for a LOOOOOOOOOONG time to put on one of my trucks and i'm thinking of making a USA-1 out of it! But keep one thing in mind: If you're going for FULL scale ACCURACY, you'll have to do some work on it just like i'm currently doing! There are a lot of errors (probably Radio Shack didn't pay for full GM liscences) and you will have to recscribe (AND scribe) some body lines as long as reworking the front end and bed floor to delete the battery trap!!!!! Mine's going on my HPI Nitro Monster King!!!
