Talion looking at a used Talion

[Abraksan]

Hoi All, i came across this Talion surfing online.
https://www.toemen.nl/arrma-talion-brushless-sport-performance-truggy-4wd-p-51198.html
I don't have much experience, but thought that body is from a version 1 or 2? And on the inside it doen't look stock.
Is the someone with more experience who can see if this car would be worth a buy, as a newbi rc-guy.

Looking at the (red) motor it’s a v1.
Those tires put a lot of strain on the electronics and drive train, the front body posts are ripped off, the body is taped (and that body is discontinued). The springs are too soft, that’s why the preload is fully screwed down.
It has an external bec but it looks like the original servo so i don’t know where it’s for.
And some cheap gpm stuff.

I wouldn’t go for this one if you are new to the hobby and i guess in the end you will spend more on repairs and upgrades than a better or a new one.
