After all the money spent and such little time actually playing, I'm thinking of selling up my cars.

I need a new project. I want a big truck :D.

Would anyone be interested in my Mini-T, M18 or TLT-1? I'm gonna put them up on ebay I think, but maybe someone here will save me the ebay fees.

As for how much? Basically, I figure I'm gonna need a grand for a new truck so that's how much I need to make. I'll figure out the prices and get some photos for ebay later.

Anyone have any idea how much I should ask for?

I've spent roughly:
- $900 for the Mini-T. All aluminium/titanium/carbon fibre (fullforce and some GPM). Beast motor. Oil shocks (w/ spring set). Ti buckles. Wheelie bar. 4 sets of as new wheels/tyres. HS81MG servo.
- $350 on the M18. Motek Panther Pro chassis. Beast motor. Graphite shaft. Spring set. 2 sets of wheels/tyres. HS81MG servo.
- $500 on the TLT-1. Traxxas links and HPI bones for the lift/stretch. Reedy MVP dyno tuned motor. Two servos for 4WS.

What do ya reckon?

Interesting, but I don't think you'd get anywhere near what you paid for unfortunately.

What sort of "Big Truck" are you thinking of?

Oh, I definately realise I wont get as much as I've spent. Just want some opinions as to how much people think I can get. Considering the state of my gear, I'd be thinking 70% at best, 50% at worst.

As for what truck, I saw the Traxxas Revo on some sites and that got me thinking....

d00d it's a shame to see it all go - but i think you should get an LST man - with a couple mods you can have it handling just as good as a revo ;)

You DID say you wanted a BIG truck didn't you? hehe - the revo is a pissy girls truck when it's sitting next to an LST - go 1/8 scale d00dus!

I just bored all of a sudden....that's the way it is with me. I hardly ever get time to play. Just gives me something to hop up and keep me occupied.

Typically on a secondhand RC you can sell them for 1/3 of what they cost. If they're in good condition, best you'll get is 50%, depending on what goodies/extras you have.

Got a pic of the mini-t? I'd be interested in that.

Big trucks are AWESOME, but heaps of maintenance....and you'll go broke hopping em up ;)

i got out of big trucks because I found that my Mini-T was more fun :D

KingBob - I have a thread showing my trucks life
http://www.teamadrenaline.net/forum_viewtopic.php?11.3115

I hear what you're saying. And I would fully expect that kind of return. Except, most of my stuff usually fetches at least the 50% mark just because of it's condition. I got back about 90% on my Pro4 and iwaver. But, in the end, all I want is a new truck, so as long as I get enough for that, I'm pretty much happy.

Balistic - I'm already broke. I'll just have a big truck instead of a little one ;)

Bages - I'd be more inclined to trade a liver or kidney for a new truck :D

Yeah man, RC makes me broke too :P

I've just "hopped" up my WRX, so I'm kinda glad I dont have so many RCs now :P

I was going to get out all together, but the Mini-T isnt exactly breaking the bank..

LST.. i know a few guys who have them.. personally. if you want a tough hardy truck that has plenty of spares available then you cant go past the savage 25... and im not saying that because i have 1.. i own a tmaxx.. been very reliable

Mini-T and TLT-1 are SOLD.

Still got an M18 here if anyone's interested in 1/18th indoor racing at Ryper?

Plus, got a whole heap of rc crap I can get rid of but will go through it and post later.

you think thats a big truck... you need to see my traveller

even a genesis looks tiny next to it.

nothing compares to a 23cc 2 stroke powered tank of a buggy :)

and i havnt seen anything balloon the tyres like it does either.

your getting a sweet revo, no doubt about it.
