Thanks for the input. I was going to offer him $120, then $140, and finally $150 if nothing else. I don't plan to go brushless with it anytime soon, I'm just looking for a 4x4 monster truck and I've always wanted an E-Maxx due to the large size. I have a friend who bashes his like a madman and it's held up fine. I know some stuff about RC's and I'm aware of what I'm getting into.

Thanks again,
Kevin
