I'm looking for either
a) a complete set up
b) a roller chasis. I can probably dig up a radio/receiver/ESC/motor/battery
I have a friend who wants to race so he keeps buying raffel tickets - I'd like to see him out on the track. I think the $600+ starting price tag of a new electric system is scaring him off a bit but if I can get a cheap starter system or a cheap roller I can probably convince him to come out. He's been out to three races already - if he keeps holding out for the raffel I doubt we'll see him racing this year :(
My buddy is now looking for about 400 OBO for his kit that he won in the last raffle. All your friend will need is a 27t motor, racing tires and away he goes but I am sure you could set him up. PM me if you are interested.....

i thought that kit came with a 27 turn and tires
Not after Ryan "Ambulance Chaser" scored the good stuff. Kidding. LOL
Hey grinder your friend can borrow my car right now if he wants to. He, or you just has to pick it up and get the little screw it is missing.
I just recently got an ims4 mini stock race car and geez, RC looks cheap right now but something has to give. I would really love to see my car out there racing than sitting on my shelf collecting dust because a race car is a race car, 1/10th scale or 1/1 scale.
My first race in the full size race car was a a week and 2 days ago, and I went out on the first practice session and broke! we got the car together barely in time for qualifying and it was micky moused and definatly not 100% but I went out dead last and ran a 20.05 time and qualified 14th out of 18 cars. The car held up and after a 40 lap main event I finished 10th out of 18 and was the fastest rookie.
I Am the youngest driver by 3 years and we beleive the youngest driver at western speedway ever.
sorry I rambled on but I am pretty excited.
Good attitude Roagracer, I hope you do well in "full-scale" racing.
Jody
hey are you 15 roag
Robert,
I don't need to borrow a 1/10 scale but howabout a rip in your 1/1 on the track for an fellow IROCC member, because you know if your car isn't out running we would all hate to see it sitting somewhere collecting dust...LOL
RYY
uh thanks haddow
Yes I am 15
and I don't know, do you think you can handle 160 KPH, 6 inches from the wall, on the edge of control without peeing your pants?
hey i have done that! its alot of fun especially since i was 14 when i got to do it so your not the youngest to ever be out there., good luck in the future
Hell, thats the way I drive the MINI to and from work every day ;)

Thats WAY more than I'm looking to spend. The last used car set up was Rob's TC3 for $200 (which included everything except the charger - including tires, motor and battery as well) - that more in my price range. Since your buddy has a new car but missing the $80 tires, $50 motor, $100 battery I'd probably offer him $150 but it sounds like he still wants way more than that. I'm sure most people's advice would be to flog it - this is turning into club X-Ray and the bottom is falling out of the TC3/4 market.... best of luck though with that car. I was over at RC Pit Stop and they had a used X-Ray for $250 - all carbon fiber which makes the old school plastic cars look kinda cheap and junky....
Robert: I'll definately take you up on your offer though - I'll be sure to keep the car in at least as good a condition as it leaves your hands..... are you sure you can't make it out to any more races this summer?
Kurk,
I hate to disagree about the price, due to the fact that new is new no fatique from racing or crashes I have seen Rob drive and he is as gracfull as they come but again racing is racing. By the way my buddy is now wanting 350.00.
ya I am pretty sure I won't be able to make any more this year. depending on how this mini stock deal goes I might sell my car by the end of this year, but for right now I am still sitting on it.

Well to each his own I suppose. Of course you are gonna have to spend another $250 (battery, tires, motor) to get the parts to get this one going. Sure its new but its also a RTR which means its the most basic model with the cheapest parts - doesn't have any of the hop ups that come with a kit. $600 could be more wisely spent by someone starting off I think.
