It depends on the state of the car. As for the engine, check this out: [link=http://www.traxxas.com/products/nitro/erp/trx_erp.htm]Traxxas Lifetime Engine Replacement Plan[/link]

Nice find! Yeah its definitly a steal. Gives you an opportunity to look at better engines, may I suggest a Novarossi 2.5 SC or Big Block drop in OS21TM.

Silly question following "is 70$" a good deal?" Did you not read the thread? Kinda the same question as OP, but already extesivly answered. Looks more like you just wanna Brag about the deal you got... Do you really need to ask?

Jatos retail at 450$ so a practically new RTR/RTR sans engine for under 200$ is great, as you can find running used examples for around 250$ locally (at least around here) I got my RTR opened box but unused for 300$ CND off a local add.

I can spot your posts from miles away since they stick out like a sore thumb, that's why I like you soooo much![&:]
Also, extesivly was grossly misspelled, it's extensively.

(Not so much that I'm following you around is it? I just browse alot of forums)

yeah thats a great deal, you could double that just by selling the roller, I got my T-maxx for $70 and sold it three years later for $160.
