Tamiya 2s esc. 2 tamiya torque tuned motors, yeah racing 13t 540 motor, x3 Titan 12t 550 motors. Aluminum wheels (no tires), and spares from building the kit. Everything included in a lot. New price from factory is 115 as a kit, no radio, battery, or servo. With the extra motors, tires, wheels ect, all add ups (with car included in that) too 220+ bucks. All sold as a lot. doesn't include radio or battery. What would you offer? Edit: I can add in a hoovo 2s 5200 80c pack with a trx plug, lipo is not in the best shape but can get the buyer running.

No radio. proline prism/wedge carpet tires. jconcepts ellipse / losi bk bar tires. Losi chassis protector. sold as a lot. Brand new car as brushed was 160 bucks. Brand new car as brushless is 250 bucks. All upgrade parts/spares with car add up to above 350 most likely. What would you offer? Edit: Batteries are in perfect shape. Cells are balanced. very low IRs. If you know my charging practices ;)

I was just thinking as I was thinking about getting rid of these 2 cars first before anything else later next year if all goes to plan.

**Not selling everything or anything at this current moment, I only want to see what people would offer to by those cars as a lot**

I'll pay shipping on the tt02. 🤣🤣
Good. Youll get the highest first class of shipping. That will be 120 bucks sir. Wanna go through USPS? It's the only option... 🤣 🤪

I was thinking about this because me and my uncle were talking about his short course trucks back in the day. And he says he is needing to fix his car, and get new batteries. So I'm thinking if all goes to plan this winter, we can go up to the carpet tracks and race. Ill try to see if I can get a Mini B mod/open class going at these track/s. If not, at the end of the winter season i plan to get rid of the mini b, and tt02 if I need the extra money. All funds would go into a pit hauler so i don't need to use my heavy backpack. New charger, new tools (if needed) and pit stuff. And money leftover will go into a separate fund which can be either a 2wd buggy kit, 2wd stadium truck, 4wd sct, or mini truggy kit. Depends on class popularity at that time. Really wanting to get more into racing. But currently, just wanna focus on the 4wd bug. getting better at driving, tuning the car, possibly a mod conversion soon. And then later next year I might be ready to pick up a 2nd class for racing. I want to stay 4wd so most likely a SCT or mini truggy at that point. But, on the other side of the story depends on my schedule, my dads schedule, my uncles schedule, and how frequently I can get to go down to the track. My uncle was telling me on how he used to go to the track every friday and saturday night to test and tune is SCTE before that track closed up. when the new track opened, he and his buddy were the top level drivers on carpet for that track for the past year. Me myself, currently I can only go to the track once every month, maybe not even that. So if I can't go frequently, I might not be able to pick up another class. Just depends.

I'd be interested in buying that bundle of brushed motors, would you take $60?

You'd probably get more by selling the aluminum wheels and spare motors seperate from the TT02. Keep the battery though, I always assume that used batteries are duds.

Will do

Yea. I bought used batteries once, and will probably be the only time I bought used. I did by it from a old race buddy of mine and I know how he keeps his batteries. They lasted me a year and a half of racing. Not that bad. But if you don't know the seller, and you don't know how they maintained their batteries, than yes I would understand if you would like to by new than used.

3 Titan 12T 550, 1 YR 13T 540, and 1 tamiya torque tuned motor. The other torque tuned motor is in the car currently and kinda don't wanna take it out since the pinion screw on the motor is stripped. I can take 60 for them. PM me if you want them :)

I'll think on it, go ahead and keep the motor thats in the car though. Gotta love Tamiyas soda-can pinion gears.
 
Buy those two cars as a lot? Let's just say you wanted $350 for both, and I were willing to pay it. I'd throw in another $10 for you to feed the TT02 to a neighborhood dog instead of making me unbox it 😅
 
What would I offer? 25% of retail value of the major components if bought NIB. I'll do a hasty cost work up of chassis, body, tires & wheels and power unit for what is either going to get bought or sold. That'll determine if it is better sold as a unit or parted out as, say, complete car vs. roller and power unit as separate items.

Hard truth is it is more likely an RC will sell for what you can get out of it rather than what it is worth. Sometimes, you just have to 'bite the bullet' and sell the old or used for less than you'd like to clear space for the new. Good luck. Hope this helps. -AC

What? An actual racing plan? Seriously? You do that and you risk being successful. ;)

Think it's great you and your uncle are considering fielding as a team. You may win fewer races, at least at first. But chances are you'll fare better at winning a series as a team once you gel. Top level is tough to achieve and once there, tough to maintain. Doing it as a team develops a synergy that feeds on itself with improving results and staying power at the top.

Good luck. Hope this helps. -AC
