well got the red bandit yesterday, turns out it doesnt need much tlc at all!!! theres hardly any scratches top or bottom, the chrome parts are perfect as far as scrapes are concerned, i was gonna put another chrome front bumper on it since i have an extra and the one that came with it was broken, but the chrome on the original is almost all still in tact with no wear so looks like ill be fixing it. looks like it was only played with in the dirt since it has alot of dirt on it and in it in some places but way better than i expected, turns out the eratic steering was the remote, i tried one of my others and it was just as it should be, the back tires and gears are messed up though, luckily i have extras
