No a problem... To be more specific, it looks like it started it's life as a ready to run version and has since been upgraded a bit. The radio, body, esc and tires (although badly worn) appear to be orginal. The shaft has been upgraded. The battery pack and motor are not original also.

He got it in an estate.
It has an LRP ESC and a new Trinity Speed Gems...looks like a Chrominium. If I'm correct, the Chrominum is a 12T, but don't hold me to that.
Nice car...stock body, mostly RTR. Check to see if the diffs are in good shape. Lift the car off the ground and spin one front wheel. If the other wheel moves in the other direction your all set. Do the same for the rear. If it spins the center shaft mention that if you decide to sell it. If it spins nothing take it to your local hobby shop to have them tell you if it needs new CVD's or a diff rebuild. Outdrives are rather common, but the LHS will know for sure. Some people run a one-way in the front diff case, so if the front wheels don't spin opposite directions but both spin, or they spin freely in reverse you've got a one-way. If all it does is spin all four wheels when you turn the front wheels, you might have a spool. The only reason I mentioned this is because if your selling it there's nothing worse than buying a car with burnt diffs.
Nice car anyway...just ditch the crappy battery and get a good GP3300 matched stick pack and you're ready to see some speeds upwards of 40 with the right gearing.
