This is the box only. Some people like to hang boxes as decoration, myself include. I would like $50 US plus actual shipping. But open to negotiation to a point. Pics are all sides and one of the inside.

Admittedly I've never been into building models or RC cars so I know nothing about them. But I am curious. From your pics I see this was a imported (Japan) glow-plug RC car? 1/12 scale sounds pretty large, which I assume a RC car needs to be; roughly what physical size was it? I imagine a Dallara bodied X1/9 model would have been rare, especially a RC version. I remember when glow-plug planes and a few cars were popular in the 60's. Very quick indeed. More recently I saw a park where the RC planes fly...quite impressive, I can see how it could be addictive. It seems the RC cars are all electric now, or are gas powered ones still around? Thanks for the education.

Yes Nitro(gas) RC cars are still out there, 1/10 and bigger, on and off road versions. I have another complete box, to go with the car. This box for sale came with parts. Here are some pictures of the car and box I am keeping. The full box has a folding back placard.
