53HRA Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Repairing and obtaining spare parts wouldnt be a problem thankfully.They are very easy to work on due to being more of an entry level car. Also great for kids or the Tamiya collector too. Value wise as a basic RTR about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trans4Mation Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 It's all down to how cheap it comes what it needs ie look what it needs then weigh up cost of bits to get it mint . If ur talking body decals wheels tyres plus more is it worth the cost of buying car an bits to get it right compaired to what it's worth done an can u find a better example for less in the long run? Also it's all down to are you attached to the m cap from your youth or just cause you think it's cheap ? Cause what sound cheap could end up owing u silly money compaired to other better models. An last 2 cent do you want a model so mint u want mint box manual etc it's a game of how longs a piece of string . If ur wanting to restore a car an poor money away try a scorcher as the re re bits will get a snot looking nice for less cost in my book it's all down to what you want an want to achieve but good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCpete Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I had a Madcap in the early 90's and loved it. Restore and then sell it to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
