description  Well I went and did it again. bought another buggy. I need help!

This one is the XB Super Manta Ray 4x4 buggy. This is the first XB I have ever laid my hands on and I am quite pleased with the assembly. Afterall, who would know better than Tamiya how to build their models? All seems to be in order on this. I would have put a pack in it and gave it a drive but the seller did not include the crystal set on this. (This is one issue of many I have with this deal) This buggy was sold to me as 'MINT!!' it is far from mint without question and the following pics show that handily. One thing I have decided I really like are the 'Speed-Disk' wheels.

Otherwise this looks like a cool buggy to play with. I am however a tad disapointed in the radio set that came with this. It is obviously a Futaba set badged for Tamiya. It is also obvious that this is the cheapest set in terms of feel and quality I have ever seen in a radio set.
