Status: offline 		Considering it's not a currently popular car, I'd say sell it as a whole. You "could" feasibly make more by parting it out, however, if nobody's buying, you can't sell... Make it RTR and let some parent surprise their kid with it.

Status: offline 		It depends what upgrades you may have made to it. Is there a nice exhaust on it? 2 decent servos? I nice exhaust might fetch you $40 and servos could get you about 25% less than they are new. If you could get $100 out of a few parts, I say sell those parts individually and put the rest of it up for sale as a roller w/o those parts. You would probably get 40-60 bucks as a roller and no radio, motor and pipe.

Status: offline 		^^ the reason I say this is because I have an Ofna Picco I am about to do the same with.

Status: offline 		the mbx series is way old school, I used to own an mbx r2 before my hyper 7, I doubt the mbx series is worth anything but as stated above if you have good equipment you could get something for that.
