Thats pretty much what i did! and at the hobby shop there used to be a used bin in their store that had some good deals in it from time to time!

Same way down here, I scored a nice set of alum. wheels for next to nothin out of the used section. No way would I have paid what they cost new, lol...

It was not that his price was super high on the truck, his retail was 599
then all the little nickle dime crap you need to run it. They did have a used charger at 25.00 bucks and other that nothing else used that i needed. I thought they came ready to run minus gas and controler battieries but i was sadly mistaken. Thought i could drive out for six  :smile18:

 

[sturat]

Be nice if you could find somebody gettin out of it, be a good way to pick up all the extras instead of having to start from scratch.

YES IT WOULD

I been diggin around in that box of shit I hauled home the other day. Lo & behold I found a brand new still in the package Futaba ESC. I wonder if it still works. Sure would be nice, this one cost 80 bux back in the day. Guess there is only one way to find out. :grin:
