No matter how you put it though, the ZX-S is a rare piece of RC-history and to some people, this car holds a high value simply because it's so hard to find, especially NIB. Sure, it's not probable that you'll get 2000$ for a ZXS Evo NIB (as somebody tried on Ebay recently with limited success) but still there's no need for exaggerating.. given the right buyer, the car is worth a lot, period. I know, because I would pay a lot.
I know I am not the only one who knows a lot but I do know a lot about this car as I am still racing it, in fact how many others are? Thats gotta show quality straight away. Heck if your around my neck of the woods or me being around yours I have no problems letting you have a go, as every ones opinion helps especially relating to set up.

I agree and did say that its down to the individual what they want to pay, I got one for the going rate and was a bit disappointed with the chassis more than anything, yes its a one piece but you have to glue the servo to it which is not a good idea, hence why the evo is better.

I prefer Kyosho due to being a better product from Tamiya (up until now that is). £200 up to £400 but as you said if you had the opportunity and cash then why not go higher if your passionate about it.

Still makes me wonder how much someone would actually pay for my new built ZX-S prototype, as all its doing is taking up space in a box in my cupboard.

Also would be interested if anyone out there who has a ZX-S with a sticker sheet could take a picture of the sticker sheet and post it, so I can get it made for the buggy in the box, I used all of my stickers years back. Thanks.
