fully race built traxxas tmaxx for sale

i have a fully race built traxxas tmaxx 2.5R for sale
it was my backup race truck and only driven by my 61year old father in the back yard a couple times
i broke in and ran the engine on traxxas top fuel 20% and was always conservatively tuned but is extremely fast (second gear power wheelies at 35mph)
lots of mods over $1200 invested
looking for cash offers or trade for somthing (not sure yet what exacly i am looking for as a trade)

edit: here is the list of mods
can have total value of all mods if it is needed but i can tell you for sure there is well over $1200 in the sruck

traxxas tmaxx 2.5r nitromethane powered 1:10th scale radio controlled monster truck
it cost $475 plus tax new and i have over $800 in hopups making is 100% race ready
it has a trx2.5R small block racing engine with over $400 in performance internals (professionally installed) such as billet aluminum piston, billet brass sleeve , titanium crankshaft , sealed billet berrings, a show polished billet head with a blue annodized billet aluminum head protector. also has a 2 shoe racing clutch with vented clutch bell for awsome cooling. has a 2-speed transmition (2 forward gears and 2 reverse, switchable forward and reverse switchable on the controller. and truck automaticly shifts from low to high gear at an adjustable shift point) has billet aluminum blue annodized aftermarket shocks has steel rear cvd's (rear halfshafts) has a locked rear differential for better traction when needed or just the ability to drift arround the corners when you want and to help with all that powersliding it has a billet aluminum (blue annodized) swaybar (can be installed on front or rear in less than 10min) it has aluminum bumpers front and rear incase you loose controll (show chrome finish with some scratches) a blue annodized billet aluminum wheelie bar (3 position adjustable, not currently installed it was used a couple times little scatched up,but not bad and still works) i also have a 72tooth steel spur gear (much more relible than the stock nylon spur gear) it has an upgraded carbon fiber disk brake (stock is fiberglass and wears very quickly) has a lightweight micro failsafe that if for any reason the truck looses the signal with the controller it automaticly applys the brakes so there is no 60+mph runaway rc truck to go chase after.
the truck is in great condition it dose not look the prettyest but i was built to go fast not to look good (but then again i always thought the things that made a it go faster also enhanced the looks) the chassis and all the parts have 1 gallon of traxxas topfuel 20% nitromethane before the new engine. since the new engine i have put on annother 2-2.5quarts of traxxas top fuel 20% (all i use as it is specificly designed with the trx2.5R racing engine) the engine has a long life ahead of it. i have raced revo's and tmaxx 3.3's and ate them alive, weither in a straight line or arround the track. also for more performance you could use 33% traxxas topfuel but the 20% was always enough for me.
like i said the truck is 100% race ready all it needs is a driver.
if you are a good driver this truck could easily pay for itself in 1 weekend.
i built it to race at the local hobbie shoppe on the weekends but i am usually busy on weekends, i did although take it to test and tune at a friends with a home made track and was easily beating all my friends with trucks that had engines twice the size of this one and running 50% nitromethane, this truck just works. if interested or would like to know more about what i just wrote a novel on (im sorry this email is so long it's just the truck has so much in it and i know i am forgetting tonnes of stuff)
if interested pm me with a phone number or email address
