Default tamiya vanquish wanted

Hi. Im after a vanquish runner. No shelf queens thanks!
no radio gear or motors/esc required.

I am also looking for advice on running these avante based cars. I was thinking around the 10.5 t motor.
I had a vanquish when i was about 11 years old. I really want another!
Any help about these cars would be very helpful.

Have you looked at these?

The only thing I would say to going brushless is that the transmission will suffer especially as the tamiya models tend to not have a slipper. I don't know whether one was available as a hop up but if it was I would suggest getting one.

Im probably going to bid on the black bodied one!
I am hoping a vintage collector has car/parts better for running than shelf. I am a bit careful about buying now though. I bought an avante a couple of yeara ago and it was just acollection of worn out parts. Thanks for the links though!!!!!

The black bodied one is being sold by the co owner of iconic rc & is a mate of mine, his stuff is always excellent so you wont be disappointed if you end up the winner
