True but it has lowerd shock tower & shorter shocks & a single speed center gear & it's under $200.00.

I was going to buy one, but decided to convert my Ofna MBX buggy instead. They are basically the same vehicle, save for the shock towers and shocks. I ordered the solid center drive, it will accept the 51 tooth plastic ofna spur gear. I also got the front bumper and mount and the body posts. Found a used viper body on ebay for 15 shipped. Looks like a fun project, and I can confirm that the gtp has very good diffs and strong arms. I will most likely make a top plate to reinforce the chassis. I am going to leave the buggy shocks on for the time being, unless I can find a good deal on shorter shocks and the gtp towers. I will throw up some before and after pics of the conversion as I go. Need to finish my revos first, argh too many projects!
