thats kinda why i want to build a rock crawler i think i would have more fun setting up shit in my basement and crawling up ice chunks than trying to drive a car with a brushless motor that is going to destroy the gears every 10 minutes

im thinking like 250 -300 but im not sure everything is in good shape, i got rid of almost all the plastic parts and replaced it with aluminum. Just put a new engine in all i really did was break it in, and then drove it probably for 10 minutes. Comes with all the extra plastic parts and 3 sets of wheels. (stock ones, green racing rims with proline bow tie tires, and winter paddle tires and sand railish front tires on stock rims). Also has aftermarket exhuast thats just a straight pipe that makes it sound like a dirty old chainsaw. (also would come with stock plastic pipe) .
Only thing that is wrong with it is it wont start because the starter is old and all the wires are wrecked. It might be a 5 dollar fix with a new glow plug wire, but you would probably have to buy a new electric starter which isnt very expensive. And you could also buy the traxxas pull start which is 100 times better and cheaper. And the metal antenna on the controller is like taped together. Works perfectly fine and still has a range of a quater mile, but a new antenna for a controller is like 5 bucks.
oh and also i was fooling around with the transmission and there is an access hole so you can change the time it switches gears.(its a 2 speed) but i think i turned the screw the other way so it wont go into second gear. But if you took it to redline they could fix that probably in like 5 minutes
oh and the body is pretty worn down. But a new body is 30 bucks and painting and cutting out a body yourself is probably the funnest thing about owning an rc car.
but its fast and loud as fuck.
(pipe is now cut off before the bend so it doesnt have the dual tips anymore)
will take direct trade for this brand new in box ha
