I don't believe it, but if you read closer, I said he has about a 2% chance of it being true. I know that the RS by my vacation house told me they send them back to RS.

The controllers work. The supra after several hours of looking at I realized it had a receiver problem so I just replaced the receiver from a spare that I had. The body of the civic was cracked but I fixed it with some bondo. The rsx works too when I got it home I put batteries in it but there was no sign of power I took the ep out and the only thing wrong with it was the positive (red wire) running from the battery cable had broke loose and it also had a broken steering knuckle but I was able to fix them all with spare parts. The only thing wierd was that the crystals, Antenna's and drive shafts, and battery clips were missing with the exception of 1 that is in the picture. They were both stock as far as parts go no awd upgrades or anything like that. My guess is that the people returned them because of electronics failure and maybe the employees at the store snagged a few spare parts off them before junking them. Im happy going to go again next week to see if I can find something

All the Radio Shacks near me send their returns back to the company. And in the off-chance they do throw some stuff out, they all share a couple large dumpsters with a bunch of other stores. So the chances of me actually finding something useful would be slim to none. Hardly worth the effort
