I bought an Lst2 off of ebay. A guy completely rebuilt it and came with a brand new motor, diff ,Rpm A-arms plus stock set, Duel exhaust. This thing was loaded. It came with all kinds of extra parts, plus the old motor with new piston and sleeve. New body plus old one. 1 brand new forward only trans plus stock trans with reverse. He easily had $900 in it or more.
He had to ship it in 2 boxes. All for $420 and $17.59 shipping, but he lived only 2 hrs from me.

If you look hard and do your homework you can find great deals on Ebay. Just make sure they have good feedback like more than 97% .

Anyway that's my 2cents.
