Hey everyone, I havent had any responses to any of my posts here but i thought i would just let everyone here know that my Royal Crusher is for sale on ebay and it is in very very excellent condition. A super great collector item I have never seen another one not even pieces of one. This is most likely a one time offer dont miss it

i have a jrx pro (i think) and i'd really like to run it with a body, but the orignal owner apparently didn't have the krylon touch... can anyone point me in the direction of a compatible body so i can run this thing without embarassment? cheers!

The nitro DS's seem to be pretty rare. You hardly ever see them on ebay. Had a chance to get an electric DS a while back, NIB, but unfortunately it got away from me.[&o] I'm assuming it's used? Does it run? Don't go selling a $1000 worth of stuff to get it. I wouldn't pay more than $300 for a used one. At that price it had better run, have NO broken parts, be clean, and it needs to be obvious that someone maintained it well and knew what they were doing with RC. Get some pics of it if you can. We'll let you know if it's worth buying at the price they want.

i am guessing the person knew what they were doing, it looked like it was set up for oval racing. it comes with the box. i wouldnt run it, i mostly want it for braging rights. my lhs has a cen gunisis with a supercharger, spare tires and a futaba 3pk (i think) for $450 so the prices are pretty reasonable. its the same place i got my second rc10 for $20 a while back. for all i know the owners might add it to there personal colection, well see.

doesnt look like im getting the nitro ds, they tagged it at $350 and i dont have any money. i might get a 4wd belt drive they have for $150 for an early b-day present that may just be a vintage.

What's the belt drive? Is it an entire RC that's a belt drive, or is it a belt drive to convert a 2WD RC into 4WD?

I have an old Nikko Dandy Dash, and I was thinking of selling it on ebay. The problem is, I don't know what the starting bid should be. It is in new condition; I just built it, and put it away... never touched the ground. Any help from you guys would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

That looks pretty sophisticated for a Nikko! Your best bet on finding the value is to go on ebay and find the same/similar vehicles in the same condition and watch a few auctions. See what they go for and put your starting bid at about half of that. The only thing with ebay is that one week you might get $400 for it and the next you might only get $100. Depends on whose buying at the time; you know.
