Default How Much Is My Car Worth?

Hi. I have the traxxas stampede that used to have the xl-1 in it. I need the money for a new dirtbike and just wanted th see how much it'd be worth.
Here is a list of stuff I have on it.

Threaded shocks
all metal gears (except spur)
8-cell hump pack (btw this makes the car do 50mph)
VXL-3S system
waterproof servo
Integy rear a-arms
Sand paws on 2.2 revolver rims
rpm o-ring (custom to seal off the tranny) gear cover

And thats all I can think of so far.
plz reply!!!

I use the rule of thumb of 50% of what I paid for it (typical retail) 'IF' it's in exceptionally good condition. And it's down-hill from there if it's not up to snuff.

And hop-ups don't count. They make it easier to sell, but don't add value (which I am sure is debatable, but that's how I see it).

i agree that most upgrades dont increase value. but going from a brushed tranny and system to a brushless one helps alot.

but i have bought a used rustler VXL with the vxl system and batts for $200 shipped. thats full vxl spec, not a upgraded xl1. so i figure $150 tops.

$130 should make it an easy sell. heck, if i had the cash id offer that much for it.

I've seen close to that exact setup go SEVERAL times on CL for $170-250 but used RC prices here in Northern Michigan seem to be a little higher than everywhere else (I've driven 5 hours to Detroit to get better deals on used RC stuff). Look on your CL and see what similar stuff goes for in your area.

It's worth as mush as somebody is willing to pay for it.

$150 shipped MAX because its a non-VXL version. That means you don't have all hex hardware or ball bearings.
