What's it worth??- Nitro R/C
 
I'm not selling anything.. Just asking what this stuff is worth. I recently got into Nitro R/C. Well, I spent alot of $$ on this stuff.. and now I'm ready to downsize. I have 4 vehicles.

1. Traxxas Jato 3.3. I like it.. Don't think I'm gettin rid of it.

2. HPI Savage 32. I like the features. 4wd, crash 'em, bash 'em, flip 'em, & trip 'em. You can't tear this thing up.. Well, w/o full speed into a wall. I've flipped it a couple times, and it's cool. I flipped my T-Maxx before, and it was done! The only thing I don't like is the Pull Start. I'm thinkin about sellin this one... What's it worth. It's had maybe 15 tanks of fuel through it.

3. Kyosho 4WD.. Some truck out of Japan. Mega Force.. That's is.. w. a GS-15R motor. Anyway, it runs, missing a front hub, axle pin, bolt to put wheel on. Everything else is in working order! What's it worth?

4. Traxxas Nitro Stampede. 2WD stadium truck. It's OK. Nice for just hittin little hills, donuts on wet pavement, the occasional hop-up. I bought it 2 weeks ago, brand new. The owner of the hobby shop had put 1 tank of fuel through it to start break-in and tune a little. I finished the break-in, ran it through prolly 3 or 4 more tanks of fuel. I'm thinkin of sellin this one too. What's it worth?

Unfortunately, used RC stuff hasn't been worth much lately. The Savage should get over 200, the Mega Force maybe 100 and the Stampede might get 200, also. It all depends on finding the right buyer. Try posting it on RCTech.net.

You couldnt give me anything made by traxxas lol. its alll crap IMO. Serpent, Kyosho, HPI are the only brands of RC cars i'd bother with.

I have a team associated RC10 GT that I love. If you have any pics of them, PM me, as I may be interested in one of them.

HELL YEa, I forgot about those, I had the RC10GT with the super frame or whatever it was called that let you put a 21 sized motor on it. that thing took so much abuse it wasnt even funny. Also once I got another car for Dirt I converted it over to a RC10DS Dual Sport Chassis with just the arms and axles. most durable little car i think i've used besides my Serpent Vector. only car I drove for months at a time without so much as replacing a $ 15 glow plug.

I have a Kyosho Hi-Rider vette(big truck frame with Corvette body). It's electric powered, but was still alot of fun...BACK WHEN I WAS 10...The wheel on the controller has been fucked up since waaaaay back then...I guess I've just never been worried enough about it to bother getting it fixed.

well the jato would bring the most the others you may get 3-400 for all the rest maybe more than likly 300 but the jato in good cond could get 250 by it self or thats wat i would pay for a used rc..i just sold my t maxx with the 2.5r and all alluminum a arms and all that ---- with race pipe and new body for 250 sooo dont look to get rick off that stuff..

150 because its used and plastic. traxxas don't hold value until they discontinue it (nitro hawk, trx, etc) or the first gen nitro rustlers.

I haven't even run this Kyosho. I acquired it in pieces via some horse trading. Hopefully, I can throw the $20 parts on it and sell it for $100 or so. I have to decide whether to keep the Kyosho or the Savage.

My GT has got a 12R SS engine, puts out a little over 1HP, I actually have NO traction until the thing is about topped out in speed. I have raced my buddy's Savage 32 and his Associated TC3+. My GT was pretty much the same as the savage in accel and top end. It was the same as the TC3 right up until he hits second, and I top out lol. I have not found a tire that will give me the needed traction, I have tried street, little nubblies, big nubblies, I have tried everything I can think of. I don't even have this thing tuned for ---- lol.
