Never noticed the price. Looked quite good though. Sticker on side says Elise but pretty sure it's an S1 Exige.

Then you get bored with real cars and end up going back to racing them.......LOL.
Been through the full cycle. Raced RC offroad until 94, then gave up to race Karts, women drink and real cars got in the way then after 17 years have just got back into racing again, so cheap, so nerdy, so much fun!!!. On road TC is ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz, Offroad will always be the best.

That's the only s1 shell that was made I reckon. It was sold as a motorsport elise.
I'd quite like one, but never had a chassis that it would fit as buggies (with overside 1/10th shells) were my thing.
I raced at the Dundee R/C club for a few years in my teens. 1/10th electric buggies, run indoors.
I still have my old Schumacher Bosscat, with alfa 155 and Toyota Celica shells. I got back into it in a small way a few years back with a Tamiya Mini, in fact it's sitting right next to me now (though it's not moved for maybe 2 years..) Still got an old RWD Tamiya buggy too.
Kinda fancy another kit actually, I like building them...
