hey guys i am thinking of putting my 2 gas powered RC cars up for sale. they are both traxxass offroading RC cars. one is fully race modified and the other is stock. i have a ton of stuff to go with all these. i can give more details later. this isnt an official "for sale" thread...more of a "who might be interested" thread. i have tons of spare parts and after-run oil. i have never driven these things. i bought them from a friend and we just never had time to mess with them.
 
Ever take a 1/10 scale stadium truck to the dunes? My goodness, if you find some dunes closed off to the bikes in Florence, throw some paddles on the beast and let her rip, its awesome.

I have a TMaxx (needs some parts) , NRustler (rolling chassis), and a FTRC10GT. If anyone wants to buy one (besides the GT), make an offer, they can go cheap since they need some parts and the TMaxx is in need of some engine tuning (aftermarket engine, Sitio TX-18).

Did you guys know theres even a blower out for the TMaxx? Not worth the money, but its kinda cool.

Ya I usually race mine at the track, scaled down offroad course, with jumps ,rhythm section and they use a clay type dirt:nice:

Where do you race Ed? When I was a kid, they used to race buggies and stadium trucks at the washington county fairgrounds, on a covered course. I was about to start regularly racing there, but they closed it down. I have an electric RC10T2, and a Traxxas Stampede.:nice:
 
The only 2 semi-local tracks left to my knoledge are A-Main in Vancouver (well, thats what it WAS called back when..) and Aero in Rockwood (outdoor). The fairgrounds track closed due to nobody wanting to help. Actually, we relocated it to Alpenrose for a year, and no electrics showed- and we still had noone wanting to help with the maintaining. I am pretty sure Salem (R/C Plus) is just outdoor now(for off-road), and focussed on 1/8.

I gotta get back into R/C one day. I worked in the industry for over 10 years...I miss it! Been eyeing the Xray NT18 but it aint out yet:(
 
A-Main has slowed down a lot. No Winter Rage this year, they close at 7 on the weekends. If they shut down, Ill be more than dissapointed, the next closest track is a ways away (cant even say for sure where it is).

i have a couple more shots from my mobile phone but tmobile is a little slow at getting them on here. i have extra tires/wheels including foamy pads for the tires. i also have a ton of after-run oil and 2 remote controls. as you can see from the other pic i have, there are plenty of spare parts to go around. i also have a heat gun for the engine and the starter to crank em up. i prefer to sell all this as one big ole thang but we will see. i am still working out how much all of this is worth. if any of u guys have any offers, shoot em my way.
my friend claims that his racing one is so fast that no one can touch it in offroad races. not sure if that is true but hey, whatever works! he invested a ton of cash into all this stuff.
 
hey guys i really need the cash, ill do $1000 for everything and i do mean everything. there is so much stuff with this. i think this stuff is worth more than my price so i hope someone might be interested in a ton of gear for their tmaxx's and 2 wild trucks!

I heard A-main in washington closed down and is looking for another location.

Thats Kool, I used to race electric years ago, i actually had a dyno so I could measure rpms and torque on all my motors, so I could pick one depending on thew track layout, more rpms for the long straight away tracks and i cwould choose the hi torque motors for the ones with less straights and more twistys, hec I even had a motor lathe so I could turn them when they needed more power. Within the last year I got into nitro's and luv it although I havnt raced for a while now, but would like to get into it again. All my gear is just sitting on my work bench collecting dust:(
