What to look for when buying a used Revo 3.3?
I've been out of the RC Nitro Trucks world for several years, but I've decided to get back into it. Like most people, I want to try and save money if I can.......so I've been looking at all of the used Revo 3.3's on ebay. There are lots of them on there....it seems like the "buy it now" prices on most of them are anywhere from $300-$400. Sure, there are some on there for less, but most of those look to be a mix match of older parts with newer parts, and they all look pretty rough and beat up.
When looking for a used Revo 3.3 (or any nitro monster truck for that matter), what should you look for to make sure you are not just buying someone elses problem? I was burned in the past buying a T-Maxx.....it looked great, but after I got it and started digging into it, I quickly realized that I should have just spent the extra money on a new one. The motor didn't want to run right even after trying getting it tuned right, all the screws were stripped out, everything was just junk.
What's your take on buying used Nitro trucks? Is it worth it to save $200-$300 over a brand new one? Any suggestions would be great!
Thanks!
