going away to college..

[Arrow]

Can't really have my RC's there... my question is.. should i box them.. or sell them..
how much does a ntc3/18tz with mostly new condition(some dirt and like 3 stripped screws) go for? losi drake/12tr same condition?
I'm trying to figure out if its even worth selling them and putting more money into a new road bike.
i can afford them now which is funny... but i dont really use em anymore

I'd say you could probably get about $250 for each of them. Maybe see if some of the local shops can sell them for you on consignment. Hell, maybe even sell them here.

Why Sell? Store em for now so. You will get to em in time. I just got to my XXXNT after a 5 month hiatus.

I would say clean them up real nice and box them up.

Why Sell?

Exactly! I didn't get rid of my Savage and Revo until I HAD to. Then after I got a bit more cash, I was right back in again. I hate to sell because you never turn all of your cash back out of it.

I would say clean them up real nice and box them up.

Absolutely! Some day when you are home for a holiday break or something, you'll get the itch to run one and it'll be nice having one just about ready to go!

Clean them up, lather them in ARO, box them up real nice and when you're ready, they'll be ready!

College ain't permanent. Well........maybe....

Anyway, no sense dumping them. If you're still into RC, you'll be back thrashing them on breaks and stuff. As long as you clean and oil them, they'll be ready for you.

hell... i say youll have time for them in college. i have been to college. i had plenty of free time. in fact, after graduating and working in the "real world" for a couple of years, i am going back to colllege. i wouldnt dream of selling my R/Cs! a hobby is a hobby... enjoy it.

I'm in college and I have no plans of stopping my r/c hobby any time soon. Believe me, even a full time student has to have some free time. Keep your r/cs you'll need some stress relief.

I am also a full time college student ( I stay at home no need to stay on campus) and I find time to hold a full time job and still play with rc cars.
