I just started looking at getting a basher truck or two for my son and I. Hes 5 so I was sort of thinking about getting something like a Granite brushed for me to start and maybe pick him up a voltage on prime day. Something not too crazy to start out with but something that could be modded a bit too. As I as looking at truck I thought what's on Facebook...well...
I found someone selling an Arrma Granite blx 3s and a 6s Kraton v4, with everything, with chargers and batteries, a pit box and some tools for 400 bucks. Claims they were only used a handful of times, the batteries were charged balanced and pout into storage mode. Seems like a great deal to me considering the Granite alone sells for 319 and still needs a battery and a charger.
Is this a good idea to do the deal? What should I be watching for? Is the a good deal or are they too cheap and I could be concerned somethings fishy? He claims the truck are in like new/slightly used condition and the pictures do support that. What should I check for, I doubt the batteries will be fully charged so I dont think I will get a chance to run them to test them out. I know less than ideal.
Basically I dont mind having to do some work to get these into running condition, though if the pics are accurate I don't think they really need much if any, if they are a bit beat but also I'm not looking for a couple money pits that would require mass parts replacement up to or exceeding the cost of a new truck either.
He claims the batteries were charged, balanced and put into storage mode but at the very least I should be considering those a loss and replace them right?
