RE: Thinking about an Avalanche XTE
I ended up picking it up for $230.00. It was brand new. It's bigger than I expected and looks pretty well built. It has been crazy cold out so I have not ran it yet. Iemailed the guy Ialways buy my parts through and he said he just ordered a ton of those MG996r servos. He plans on selling them for $13.99 with free shipping. Ilooked around on eBay like suggested. It looks like they sell for around $9 - $10 ea. shipped out of china and about $20 - $30 ea. shipped from the U.S.
So I think for $13.99 you can't beat that since you will have it in 3 days or less. No one likes waiting. We are all kids in this hobby haha. I'll post up if he does email me a link to them.
