New to RC, need to see if this is a good deal.
Well all, Ihave an old XBox 360 laying around I'm not using. I'm planning on trading it for this:
The man said it was a Traxxas 2.5 with a Revo 3.3 engine installed and just broken in. He said it had some hop ups (I'm assuming mods... he said it had some suspension mods) with it too and a Pirahhana battery charger. Iassume it includes the remote control as he said he would let me drive it. He said it was in great condition, he just doesn't have anywhere to drive it. I'm trading an old Xbox 360 and 2 games for it. Does this sound like a good deal? What are some tale-tale signs of abuse on these cars?I've never owned or worked on a Nitro RC car besides the videos of tuning and installation I've seen on youtube. Can anyone help me out on my first car? Good deal or no?
Thanks in advance!

I have a Traxxas 2.5 T-Max, with a newly installed 3.3 and it runs just fine. Some say you might want to replace the spur gear but, so far mine has not been damaged. Here is a pic of it. A lot has to depend on how ruff you run it.

I'll post with some more info as soon as I call him this evening, I'm pretty sure its a Revo 3.3 engine on a REVO2.5 body though.
