First thing I would do with that (besides remove the Integy junk) is chuck it in a bucket of oven cleaner...
I agree....way to much red for my liking

I sent that guy a message wondering why he wouldn't ship a $1100 truck to Canada or a guy in the Military. You would think that if you wanted to sell something so expensive he would at least be a little more reasonable about shipping. I mean good luck selling something that looks like it's been in the gut bag of a Buck for three months and you won't even ship it to Canada. Just my feelings, I like to help out anybody who wants some parts or trucks.
I think it is over priced for what it is, especially when you consider the prices from gorillamaxx. I was reading here the other day that its cheaper to buy the parts individually than the G4 kit. You save about $50. You can buy the G4 kit and 3.3 suspension from gorillamaxx for $518 plus shipping. That leaves $600 to spend on motor speedy and batteries. And you wont have to spend a day taking off anodizing and polishing.
I think you're missing the point SV6000. If you didn't want it red you wouldn't even consider buying it in the first place. Let alone buying it and then stripping the anodized coating off. If someone wants a red G4 then it will be worth the $$ to them.
Personally I think it is kind of cool looking, and the price is reasonable for what it is. I would not buy it myself, but I am sure that some one out there will go crazy over something like that. Cut the guy some slack. He put a lot of time and money into his creation, and obviously needs the money more than he needs the truck. It shows a little creativity in trying to make something that is out of the ordinary from what we usually see. It is a nice clean project.
