snagged this BRM off the bay. chassis is spray painted silver along with the wheels but the body is really nice besides the missing exhaust and a buffered up suspension hole. the chassis is bare with no motor or guide but has the solid plastic crown.

Ill probably try to remove the goofy silver paint soaking the chassis in a solvent and piece the rest together with what parts I have. I might have a somewhat close to correct long pinion to use. my biggest issue is the motor clip and the aluminum guide post retainer. Ill probably to make my own clip and might just have to use a brass tube for the guide post. Im also pretty sure I dont have a EBD cox motor so it might just get a russkit 22 for the time being.

here pictured with my Dads untouched condition BRM haha

Can see the silver paint on the pretty corroded chassis.

Replaced the solid plastic crown with the earlier style. and yes wrong motor dont have a correct one at the moment. was able to find a long pinion though.

Light clean and polish on the body. sure is nice! just need the exhaust when I can find them. also crappy tires but this is just a shelf queen not even going to bother ever trying to run this. left the silver on the wheels, didnt want to break the tires removing them.
