    Found this on CT Craig's List. Too rich for my blood, but a great deal. R/C Tamiya Eunos Roadster (unbuilt) - $600 *LINK*

    Slightly more desirable than the M04 version, but they're not worth $600!

    I love mine. Haven't used it in about a year though. Motor runs, but wheels don't turn. I gotta rebuild it sometime. Probably be hard since it is a very old chassis.

    Convert to brushless and LiPo if you've got one. It'll be the quickest Miata you own then.

    Haha. Sounds like Japanese to me. I have no idea what works with mine or what parts I need. I bought it already running. That's why it's been broke for so long. I don't know how to fix it. Lol. I just know the chassis is old and discontinued.

    TLDR version would brushless + LiPo = ludicrous speed.

    Worth noting: these appear identical to the Tamiya (I suspect they just duplicated the mold). No decals, but a little detailing with paint could solve that...

    If anyone (like myself) is waiting for ND prices to drop... you can buy one new, soon, for only $140!

    Tamiya M-05 ND Model coming soon to a Hobby Store near you! http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...&I=LXFSHW&P=ML

    I think I'll buy one of these, and hopefully can find some Minilite wheels to use my NA body on it...
