I was considering building up a 2nd mini-t with all the spare parts I have.
Looks like it's gonna cost about $130 for a fully stock, as new mini-t. I was hoping it'd cost less so I could sell it as an RTR package on ebay. The most expensive part is replacing the transmission bearings. They cost $26.45 from modelflight. The rest of the parts needed aren't too expensive, but they are all sold in packages where I only need one of the many included parts.
Just for fun I also did up a spreadsheet to calculate how much it'd cost to put together another race spec mini-T. I decided to base it around a Topcad full Titanium set. Same price as their full aluminium sets, but everything is titanium which is a bonus.
To put together a whole truck including new esc, servo, motor, battery etc it'd cost a bit less than 500bux!
This one might have to sit on the back burner for a while.
