Found this online and couldn't pass up on the idea. https://www.ebay.com...872.m2749.l2649, It isn't 1/32. 

 

So much cooler than the Cuc I sold. Restored the chassis and motor and cleaned up the body. 

 

Added some decals that Martin gave me (thanks!). NOS U-Go blues are ordered and the current ones are temporary, still look good though. On the power supply it seems to have some real RPMs. Cool car.

Nice car.

If you don't want to post pics oriented the wrong way, do a crop of the image before posting.

Even the tiniest crop should 'lock' the image in the direction you envisioned it in.

Well bought, I would say. Chassis looks to be quiet well made, its got balls too!

The motor is worth more than what you paid IMO.

Well, I paid more like $40 not $8 but still a good deal. 

 

The chassis was well made but the down stop is a little odd. The motor is soldered on very well though. Very well thought out, and whoever built it was more of an advanced racer and put some good thinking and effort into it.

Isaac, you got a good car for the money. The motor, the fronts, & the guide are worth more than the asking price. When you mention $40, are you including shipping costs & that of the new parts you're getting to restore it, plus their shipping? The chassis has some interesting & unique features, The seller also has a mis-labeled Harvey Aluminum Spl,  for $6.50.

I think I spent $60 on everything including the tires. Definitely worth it. Would go for about $80 I bet as it is right now.
