what are you going to do with it? indoor or outdoor racing or bashing. If you give the members more info someone might have something. Mick has a deal on a 1/12 Mega Package this is for indoor racing.

I have the whole lot for sale if you want, XRAY XII Link cars (2, one still in kit form) with EVERYTHING else that you need for racing indoor.... and outdoor if you want :-)

MiniRacerKid · « **Reply #8 on:** February 06, 2011, 01:46:20 AM »

Just went to the race tonight. I think I'm gonna get a outdoor car, because there is only 3 months left of indoor left.

i would love to have that, how much?

Richard · « **Reply #10 on:** February 06, 2011, 08:09:37 PM »

$800
Includes the two 1/12 Link cars, motor, esc, servo, radio (Futaba 4PKS), batteries, charger.... too much to list, I guess the replacement cost is about $1600 dollars worth and its all pretty new, I also have all the outdoor stuff if you are interested (X-Ray T3 with all the goodies).

I would like the X-ray t3 maybe, how much for that. with the radio.

Richard · « **Reply #12 on:** February 06, 2011, 09:19:25 PM »

$1200, also includes a ton of stuff, even the awning :-), I am guessing close to $3000 worth of stuff.

cant do that.
that's too much money...

but right know I'm looking at this car on Used Victoria
http://www.usedvictoria.com/classified-ad/tc4-compatition-ready-300-need-it-gone_14040430
might be already sold though, but looks like its a good deal. do you know if it is?

Richard · « **Reply #14 on:** February 06, 2011, 09:54:03 PM »

No problem, sorry I am the wrong guy to ask if its a good deal, I dont have enough knowledge on all the cars.

That's Neils old car.. I think parts might be a problem. I would recommend a T1 fko5 or a T2 or a T2 007 as parts can be found at the track from other drivers and you should be able to buy a roller (its a car with no elec in it for about 150.00/175.00 a complete kit might might be around $400.00-$600.00 depending on the car) you can also E-mail Korage at korage@shaw.ca and ask him if he knows of any used stuff for sale. he runs a RC shop on the mainland

hope this helps

Shawn68z · « **Reply #33 on:** February 08, 2011, 12:33:36 AM »

At the end of this season I will be selling my 3.2RR for cheap. Its a good car, with the new CRC Prostrut (short) front end, long links, and low Roll Center. I will be asked the $75 range for it, and it will come with some spares.

Shawn.

Joey,

I have a LiPo battery charger and a LiPo battery that you can use for free to get started. I am not using either item, so you can use them for as long as you need.

If your lookin for fairly inexspesive batt charger, search IMAX b8 on eBay. I've baught 2 of then and charge just about any battery you will ever use..I think I got mine for 74.99 ea
us each. and they had free shipping. Only downside it will only charge up to 7 amps..

plus ill also include a 1/12 crc 3.2r indoor car with aluminum caster block brand new painted/mounted but never run body, and comes with a set of older foam tires..

only thing u will need for the indoor car is a 2 front wheel bearings and a small steering servo.. and ill try and find a decent 4cell battery for it..

u can switch the electronics between the 2 cars(minus battery), so u can run all year..

550 and its al yours..

correction..

both cars will have a battery(3300 nimh) and a 27 turn(stock) brushed motor- both motors have been redone with new brushes and a com cut..all you will need to be able to run both classes, is a battery charger, and a steering servo for the 1/12 scale car..
