As for missing parts, is there a receiver in the box? Except for that it looks like all you need is a steering servo.
It probably needs a lot of adjustments though judging from the way he has the throttle/ brake servo hooked up. That should be your 1st repair, the throttle and brake will not work very well setup like that.
It may be just the angle of the pic but the front end also looks tweaked to me.

Just FYI,

It looks like the breaks get aplied when the when the you hit the gas. If that is true you may want to put the breaks on it own servo.
 
Hmmm ??, how do you put the brakes on a separate servo?
 
^+1 On that... I guess that's what I was getting at..

yea thats no longer like that i bought a new servo and also new linkage for the throttle and break... it will be put back to the way it should be set up...the guy i got it from had it like that which i didnt like at all
 
There is nothing wrong with that set up at all some guys like to install the throttle servo next to the carb they say it works better and its a faster pull, but, the linkage is/was way wrong, you just have to redo it that's all...

The zip ties will help to "protect" the cooling head in the event of a roll over, the locking part will hit the cround instead of the actual head. Good luck on getting it running.
 
It really doesn't work as good as the theory does, trust me... And thank you for the compliment. My wallet is still recovering. Lol.
 
Hey Nikko, have you tried using fuel line around the head? It may give a little more "cushion", the zip ties need to be replaced every now and then being as they get brittle from the hot/cold cycles they see.

fuel lines? would it be the same way or how would that work you have any pics of it? and the zipties wouldnt burn off or anything. i think they would from the heat

I'll try to get some pics tomorrow, as far as them burning up, the plastic will get brittle over time and the ties will have to be replaced.
