Worth Buying?

I bought it. I'm going to have the guy ship it to me. I figured for $50 I can't go to wrong .
 
Offer him 40 or 45 just for the hell of it (it does say obo) if not $50 is not bad. I'd have offered him $30... lol.. but thats just me, if it was a trusted member on here i would not haggle price. i bought a Trophy 3.5 for $165 on Ebay, A Savage 4.6 for $175 and an NTC3 for $130 on here. Including the DX4C and two recievers, i have spent about $250 more dollars on hooking them up and now i have three really awesome vehicles going. Thanks to you guys and your advice when i post the finished pictures next weekend you are going to like them.
So i really think $50 is a fine deal :)

I bought it for $50 shipped. I probably going to give it to my buddy that's been going through a tough financial strain. He had to sell all his cars.
 
thats cool of you to want him to have some fun. My first touring car was a 4tech and it's still my favorite engine break in memory, watching it get faster and faster until it was going twice the speed of my Rustler! i wasn't ready for that car though :(
 
Yeah man I had one too. There super fast. The only thing I didn't like is if you hit a piece of gravel at high speed it's over lol. He still has all of his stuff just no cars. Thought that may cheer him up.
 
If you (or your buddy) intend to get it up and running, I'd say no, it's not worth it. These 1st generation 4tecs sell pretty cheap on ebay. You'd be better off parting it out.
There's a roller I saw on ebay with $31.00 in bids and it has no engine.

Yes, the older nitro 4 tecs are pretty cheap and old, but in the UK your lucky to get one for £75 ($115) so in my opinion its a good deal :p
