so last night I found redline Speed elite on eBay for 60 box $60 with Free Shipping as a Buy It Now in the auction started at 45 so I decided to bet on it and I ended up winning it for $47 it is a complete car without the remote receiver or transmitterthe tires are pretty good on its got a new suspension and its got a custom exhaust made and he said it runs but I really don't care if it runs its a 1-10 scale and it says that it's 90 percent compatible with Traxxas needs be I parts HPI parts and the motor looks pretty clean engine so I'm going to pay for its Friday cuz he said I had I can't wait until Friday can wait until Fridaykind of excited its four wheel drives well to speed and he also has a Redcat short course truck that's got a nice motor with it needs a little bit of work that I might also get for a man of RAM 90 bucks shipped for bothand sorry about this horrible post I'm talking to my phone cause I can only use half the screen and I can't really backspace sure anything or anything damn phone
 
Well I might have but I couldn't help myself...
I picked up a redline speed elite and a red cat aftershock 3.5 for 90 shipped and he is throwing all his old rc stuff in. They both look really clean and the red cat comes with an Sh .28 that looks pretty much brand new. The aftershock need a received and battery top along with a receiver and a set of servos. And the redline needs a reciever. Even if the engines are junk I will be happy with them but they not are clean looking along with the rigs
Main reason I bought them was because o don't have either kinds of rigs in my collection and there really cheap
So if I messed up it was only 90
But I did learn a little on the first red cat I bought Lol
I feel confident and I know not to load the $$$$ into them!
I won't lie I'm excited though:)

No body for aftershock and redline body is soooo ugly lol
 
So everything is good besides the redlines tranny. The spur gears are toast and the guy before me didn't know what he was really doing he broke one engine mount screw in the mount and used garbage screes that backed out and ho tried screwing the manifold on backwards.
But I took a center diff from an old small block 1/8th buggy and have a tranny set up for it. I just have to drill 6 holes and should be good. I also locked the center diff so it would be like before.
 
I would of did more with the rc's you had then get in to other ones . On road cars are not good for our area .
