First Savage, almost pulled the trigger on a new one. Came across this 4.6X locally and brought it home. Has been sitting for about a year I was told, motor has good comp. Think I made out alright, came with a Venom 1600mAh hump pack and a super sweet AM HPI TX/RX. Going to update to 2.4 asap.
Didn't look quite like this when I got it. It was a bit dirty and had chipped' up chrome wheels. I was too anxious to get it apart to remember to snap a before pic =[
Got it cleaned up and serviced. Replaced a couple small things, like the clutch bell bearings, which fell apart in many separate pieces with no actual bearings to speak of haha. Waiting on some glow plugs to run it =[ should be in tomorrow or the next day.

The PO sanded and polished the head after it had a date with the pavement. Doesn't look bad, although ill probably clean up the edges a bit more and re-polish.
And a big thanks to my lady who let me commandeer the kitchen counter for a few days while we are moving.
