Need help identifying.

[Tbalnchard420]

Well i found a roller today with some bodies, a chassis, old charger, esc, bec, motor and such at a garage sale, paid $5. I think someone took it apart and couldnt reassemble...any help would be appreciated. I looked up the motor, esc, bec, and servos and they all go for around $20....should i build it back up? What is it and from what year? Im guessing gas powered by the looks of the bodies.

And what is the round peice attatched to the servo?

This is an older electric Traxxas Rustler. The yellow and orange body I would assume is the original body. These are not old enough or new enough to be worth a lot, but a heck of a deal at $5. Cleaned up and put back together I would guess around $75-100 on eBay.

Or throw a brushless motor in it and start breaking stuff...that's what I did.

The thing attached to the servo is a mechanical speed control. If you want a vintage car you don't drive, keep the mechanical speed control. If you actually drive this, a mechanical speed control gets old pretty fast, mine were always pretty unreliable and required constant tinkering.
