It's better than the nail I recently got my hands on. I thought it was a bit neglected when I was bidding on it and I was right. Luckily I didn't pay a huge amount for it and I merely transplanted the chassis and gearbox (after repairing the bendage and wrung screws) onto my standby new Revo.
If I see a truck like yours I just want to tear it down and rebuild it to be the truck is wants to be. Stick with it Dude !
