You didn't get ripped off if that's what you are asking...

Wouldn't the nitro go bad in the weeks of shipping? i mean it goes bad overnight.

I bought a T-Maxx 3.3 with over $1,500 in extras above the cost of the truck for $300.00, T-Maxx trucks do not hold value.

oh ok so then i all i need to no is that i was not ripped off??

You weren't ripped off, but there probably wasn't a line of people with cash in hand for that deal..most people would just pay a few extra bucks for a brand new one. Typically you see a lot of extras included if they expect almost new pricing.

Most people will tell you, you will never get more than 60% return on investment with anything r/c...The question is, are "you" happy with it? I've gotten shafted on a few deals but I still love what I got the same.

basically. But the full tank of fuel is likely gone bad. I wouldn't use it.

kk so how do i empty it just open the lid and flip it upside down??????????

That works but to get every last drop I take the line off the carb and put in the fuel bottle. Then I blow into the line that comes off the exhaust.
