That is a Pro 15 Maxx but if it runs good then you got a pretty good deal. Just go through the whole truck and replace what's broke. Rebuild the shocks with some 30wt oil and you will have a pretty tough basher. I have a Tmaxx and a Savage and while it's not as tough as the Savage, my Maxx has been through it's share of cartwheels, flips, and jumps without breaking anything.

i havent bought it yet but i was jw if it is a waste of money

Buy it or let me know where I can get it from. $100 is reasonable especially if it is local and doesn't cost anything for shipping. Even if you were to drop in an O.S. 18 CVR w/pullstart for another $100, you would have something that you couldn't get close to for the $200 you would spend on something new. If you do get it and would like to buy a CVR, I have one new with the T-Maxx length shaft for $85. It has never seen fuel or been mounted.

Just keep in mind if you drop in a OS 18 CV-R the sliders going to the wheels won't hold up. You can upgrade the driveline to 3.3 Maxx specs pretty cheap from eBay. I have a OS CV 15 in mine and it had broken a rear slider twice. The 18 is a beast compared to the 15.
