Default Rc Holiday Giveaway

This Holiday season The Wizard has been giving away Rc's for free. With the economy the way it is, it's been rough for alot of people out there. I have more than enough Rc's and I know there's someone out there that would like to have a nitro Rc but just can't afford one, so if your interested just reply to this thread. I will sent this Rc 2 day shipping plus, I will reply to this thread with the tracking number. I will only ship in the U.S. To give everyone enough time to reply to this thread the end time is Jan 1st. ( now changed to Dec 31 - thur ) I will ship between January 1st and 2nd.


The Rc is a Losi Aftershock. Runs well, has good compression, shifts good and is lots of fun. Comes with controller & controller batteries, glow igniter, & reciever battery will be charged. Just add nitro fuel give it a few pumps on the primer and away it goes.


Good Luck to whoever get this & Happy Holidays [sm=wink_smile.gif]


Elven Wizard



UPDATE : Whoever I pick I will Pm this person for his/her address address. (jan 1st)
NOTE - ONCE NOTIFIED, I WILL GIVE ONE DAY FOR THIS PERSON TO REPLY . PAST THAT TIME FRAME I WILL THEN PICK ANOTHER PERSON. Once I send the Aftershock out I will announce who got this truck with the tracking number.

I have enough RC's as it is, but I'd just like to say that you are a good person. Thumbs up to you.

I hate to think that there's someone out there that has the passion to want to get into and have a good Rc especially a nitro one but just can't afford it cause of the circumstances.

The XXl - The 4wd Porsche - It's a hot Rc, but Iv'e already replaced the output gear 3 times. The 454 engine is a wonderful engine I may add.

Just going to throw this out there... have checked the engine brace already?
I know that only has to do with the clutch and trans gears but something makes me want to ask.[sm=72_72.gif]

Edit: *Looks over pictures of Elven Wizards collection* .....[sm=what_smile.gif] "more RC's then a warehouse" start to do justice

Everything thing seems to be tight I think it's my all out pedal to the metal driving. This engine is a true powerhouse and it's causing great stress on that one gear.


As for shipping I dont like to ship out of the U.S..

Experienced to many problems with sent items not getting there.

If the engine brace is cracked it MAY be causing a chain reaction and your burning thru gears. I knew mine was gone when i started going thru trans gears like crazy. just a heads up

Man, I sure would love to get this car Only nitro car i've had is some crap Tamiya xbg, and im fiending for an offroad car!,I dont even have a Rc at the moment, we all know how the urge can get Rough just to Drive that thing up and down the grass,nitro fumes up an about, Tough times this christmas , I mean im only 16, but i've been Rcing since i was ten, Saved up my christmas and birthday money for a rc10 T3, but after a few years went by the car was reduced to a pile of scrap. Ive tried different rc from time to time, but usually ended up trying to pass the time with some ridiculous RadioshackCar. I think what your doing is amazing, Sharing the rc spirit and passion, This year ive been asking my mom for a Revo but it doesnt look like she can pull through with the bills and stuff, shes a single parent.

This Aftershock will put a smile on anyone's face. I changed out the sport pipe and put a performance one on. It really goes and does pop "O" willies !

I mean if you are giving it away, I am game.

Just bought my 2nd RC in 20 years, last week, lol! Set me back 300 smacks, but have had a lot of fun with it in a short time.

I would love to have a Nitro to learn off of and one day pass it to my kids. Would also like something I could tear apart and work on to learn the ropes, as I really don't want to tear down my Slash as it is brand new.

Sounds like whoever you pick is a lucky person.

You are a good dude in my book!

That's just an awesome thing to do Elven Wizard!
I have lots of RC's, just can't afford to keep em running these days.
Even nickel and dime parts are too much, just won my first part - an engine plate for my XL on ebay $3.50/ $4.95 shipping is more than the part lol.
But if it keeps me from blowing $5 spurs all the time it's well worth it.

Congrats to the winner!

Hey man, I just wanted to tell you, that it is because of people like you, that have enough heart, and enough pride, to give something to the people that have less then you, is what made this country so great back in the day......so, thank you.

By the way, I have enough trucks, and certainly don't need another one. LOL
