Default Mini S2000 project Car

I got my hands on a discontinued Tamiya model, check it out! JDM spec S2000. I need a few things still, I want to spray the body with real Suzuka Blue, and I'm in search for a totally silly motor. I assembled the model with full ball bearings. The only bummer it that is has an open differential, although a LSD is a possibility.

Yup! R/C, Electric. I'm going to get a completely stupid 33,000+ rpm motor for it.

I have an extra one (tamiya) if anyone is interested... Come pick it up and save on shipping and sales tax. Not sure what the current going price is.

Is this just a kit? Because before I bought mine, I looked into the tamiya version. It was a kit, and it does not include the radio set, speed control or battery/charger. The only thing it came with was a 25T stock motor. You'll have to expect another $100 - 130 in addition to just the car
