All it needs is a new chassis, radio and batteries.

spidertoy · May 16, 2006

so is that a good deal? if so I might be really interested, how much for what it needs?

VMGontheRocks · May 16, 2006

Yes that is a good deal. You need a Radio anywere from $50-500. Usually a good one is aout $100-120. A battery which is like $20 if that. And maybe a new chassis which is $65.

I agree and say that is a pretty good deal. Can save you more time, and get you out on the rocks faster.

VMGontheRocks · May 16, 2006

True. I would buy it but I don't need more axles. I need a damn pede tranny.
I would PM or email him son spidertoy cuz that thing will be bye bye pretty soon.

alright I am registering over there, hopefully noone else has beaten me to it

Dude · May 16, 2006

Not worth it in my book, look at the shocks and how it is set up, thats a hack job.

spidertoy, just get a tlt kit and have Crash hook ya up on a chassis if you don't want to by one.

VMGontheRocks · May 16, 2006

I know the chassis is a joke. But it comes with E-Maxx shocks, and a pede tranny and a **** load of screws. Then he could have crash make him a chassis.

spidertoy · May 16, 2006

so I shouldnt buy it? or what? I am confuzzed

I am seriously thinking about getting one, but how much to get it wheeling? I know that the kits are like 80 or so, but what else would I need to get crawling?

I B RACIN · May 16, 2006

tires and wheels $60
tranny $50
55x1 $20
axles $80
ESC $?

Its agood starting point.

I bought a brand new TLT for 80 pede tranny was 50 and then a motor 20. And right now the trannys are a premium. If you ask me I would rather start new then build. It is kind of like the big rigs when you buy used you end up putting money into it anyway. And new shocks are not that much. Plus like it was said before it kind of looks like a hack job.

VMGontheRocks · May 16, 2006

TLT Kit- $80
Pede Tranny- $50

Where did you get the tranny?

I B RACIN · May 16, 2006

Where do you get Mashers for $25 ?

VMGontheRocks · May 16, 2006

Towerhobbies My bad they were $26.

I B RACIN · May 16, 2006

Wow good deal,I paid $19.00 a pair for mine at a LHS.

I B..

Dude · May 16, 2006

yeh the parts might be worth it.

If I buy a prebuilt rig I go for what I want and know what is out there, I have enough junk parts laying around.

Now if you buy it try it out with different shocks at least and see how it does.
To me, home built "chassis" and stuff like that don't count in my price counting on what somebody has.

It is a way to get in, that what counts.

$18 I thought it was $19.99 from the Redmond Hobbytown.
It is cheaper for me to order online because the gas wasted going to Redmond is to much. And I almost kill someone everytime I am there cause the traffic is so damn rediculos(sp)
