BIG value. If it is in good shape, you just found a winning lottery ticket. Do a search on eBay for "kyosho kart". ;)
Plenty o' buyers for that one. :thumbsup: I'd love to have one, but I couldn't give you what it's worth.

Try something like this (http://search-completed.ebay.com/kyosho-kart_W0QQcatrefZC5QQdfspZ1QQfbdZ1QQfclZ3QQfisZ2QQf locZ1QQfposZ60542QQfromZR6QQfrppZ200QQfsooZ1QQfsop Z1QQfssZ0QQftrtZ1QQftrvZ1QQftsZ2QQnojsprZyQQpfidZ0 QQsaaffZafdefaultQQsabfmtsZ0QQsacatZQ2d1QQsacqyopZ geQQsacurZ0QQsadisZ200QQsaobfmtsZexsifQQsargnZQ2d1 QQsaslcZ0QQsaslopZ1QQsofocusZbs). Ratty ones are selling for $175, and new in the box kits (or close to NIB) are between $500 and $600.
An incomplete but good shape kit might pull $200. Hard to say without seeing what's there. The missing driver could be a big killer, though.

Drummerboy, What class do you run at shippensburg? If you were down last year you may have seen a blue champ kart with yellow checkered flag, That's me.

I have one of these. I posted on here with some pics of what I have left of mine. I've done some research on Ebay and like Doug has said, they go for a pretty penny. So much that I'm going to purposing tear my dad's house apart next time I'm in Missouri. I'm pretty sure I can find more parts to it somewhere. I had the guy and everything. It just happened to be my first nitro car I messed around with. When it stopped working, it kind of start losing parts. Now years later, I'm kicking myself in the butt!!!!!!!!!!!
