Is this kit any good? I need to order some bits and bobs from HLJ, so might as well get a cheap model or 2 to justify the shipping costs
The kit is a mixed bag. It's got a good body and accessories, but the chassis is total and complete junk. The chassis is a "generic" plate chassis used by Fujimi on several of its kits back when this tool was made (1986 or so) and has a molded-in battery box - at that time, motorized model car kits were popular in Japan. The chassi doesn't fit very well either.

I wish Tamiya would bring back their FC3S.
