Status: offline 		Here is my 100 dollar truggie. I am planning on completely rebuilding it from ground up. It was a winner in SC and Im hoping to get my foot in the door with it up here in ohio.  As far as I can see it needs new universals a few new servos and cleaned up maybe some new wheel bearings but for the price or what i got I cant complain.

Add a full set of front/rear and center CV's and your at what you paid for the thing.....imo buying used can be a risky deal....you Never REALLY know what your getting till you do what your doing now......Tear it all down and check for yourself....good luck with what you got.

Status: offline 		You can definately score CVDs on ebay for 1/3 the normal price. Just keep your eye open. I did and scored some great deals on CRT parts.

Status: offline 		I got it all back together with new screws. With the lack of CVDs it seems to be ok. Seems that the things i need are all the high dollar hard to find things.
Steering knuckles, CVDs all the way around and a front shock stay. But I did fire it up and she screams. I cant wait.

Status: offline 		I dont want an off brand truck. And after looking not many hooby shops support this brand. If I was gonna go that route I would go with redcat. Atleast there support is off the wall. but I am happy with my truck. I am happy after I replace everything i need to I am still under budget on a brand new one. Sure if  Iwant something to just tear up I would go with XTM or Duratrax but those cant compare to the big dogs. Sorry.

Status: offline 		Yea, take it from me..... Buy a GOOD brand name.  My very first nitro was an offbrand, was nothing but a headache from the start.  If nothing else fails Losi has a rtr 8ight for 800 bucks.  Different sites have them for different prices.  I have one on order now!!!!
