Should I buy this?

[Firman]

So, having caught the nitro bug I find myself constantly browsing ebay for upgrades etc and have come across this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/130726012...WAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_500wt_922
Am I mad to consider this as a fixer up project?

If you can get it for really cheap, yes. Compare prices. How much would a new one cost in the UK, cut that in half because it's used, cut that in half because it's smashed, don't pay more than that.

Well I can buy it new for £190 here but really will only be bidding up to maybe £45 on this as I know I am going to have to spend money on it but just thought it could be a decent little project to fettle as I now have my Menace up and running again.

I did some research. not much in the way of aftermarket support for this model. not to mention many of the hop ups have been discontinued on tower. I wouldnt buy this based on the fact i think you may end up spending more time and money on finding parts than you did when you first purchased it.

just my 2cents

Because you already have a nitro rig, your aware of whats involved with wrenching (especially a broken 1). I think your current mindset of going to 45 is a safe bet. While the rig doest have a ton of aftermarket available it does have enough stock parts available to be able to get her runnin

I just sold one of these working for £75 to give u a idea but if u do end up buying I have a spare rear wheel for it which also could be used for the front (hub) it does have a tire buts as I said its a rear so u would need another rear tire and hub for a match

Thanks for that! Do you know what size hex hubs they have on them as I have a set I bought for my Menace before realising that it has 14mm hex not 12mm.

 

[MrMadder]

They are 12's iam quite sure :\

 

[Phins Fan]

12mm definately
