Ok I want to pick a decent (ready to run) used RC Truck for my son on the cheap if possible.
I know you can get nutty on these things and spend a small fortune. I do not want a gas powered one..
Thought I would start with a 1:12 or 1:14 (maybe 1:10, but those look huge)
I know you guys have some good ones lying around you never use...so what do you have?
Cash ready - lol Macomb Twp area please
I've got a 1/10 e revo that killed both motors " dual motor model " on the 3rd run. Itll need 2 motors or the kit to make it brushless. Itll also need 2 battery connectors for the esc because I robbed those for another project. Runs off dual batteries. I'd let it go for 50bucks. I still have the box that came with it. And all the parts it came with brand new.
Text me for pictures if intrested, 313 778 83 four zero
How much would I have to put into it to go brushless ready to run (approx). Been years since I looked at RC cars, but my son is 12 so I think he is readyQuote:

yep my 1/10-1/12 only thing that goes in grass very well
Yes, want 1:10 now,
I am considering the one above from sn95, still trying to figure out all it needs.
Anyone else? Was hoping for a complete ready to go RC.
larrys performance, arrma brand 1-140 or ecx
Larry's R/C on Van Dyke and 22 mile in Shelby, Family R/C at Gratiot and 16 mile and The R/C Clubhouse on Hoover and 8 1/2 are great places to run many types of R/C's and have everything youd need to fix and maintain your r/c and they all sell new kits as well. The guys there are all really knowledgeable as well.
Went to Larry's today... Might buy new, but still open to used options.
Right now I am leaning towards:
- Traxxas Slash 4x4
- Traxxas Rustler 4x4
Both "Brushed". Ready to go out of the box for $290.00 each.
I like the Rustler a little better as it comes with a little wider stance, more aggressive tire and a clip-less body.
Once I get into the Brush-less models I need a standalone Charger and Battery purchased separate. So about a $200 jump over the Brushed motor options above. They have come a long way since I last looked at these things like 20 years ago!
Anyone else want to sell a used one? The one SN95 above offered up I would have a bunch into get it back running.
traxxas name isn’t worth $100 more than others
