I personally think it is an ok deal. The engine and drivetrain is relatively easy to source, but a good body is hard to come by in your area. If you can do the mechanical work, it is a decent deal. If not, you may want to wait for something a little more complete and running, but that will obviously cost you a little more. Good luck either way!

You can buy something a little better with that tax free money. I just got back from there last year. RC East/RC south area. Stay safe out there.
