if you do buy something used, when you get it, make sure you look everything over, and if need be, take it all apart and make sure something you cant see isnt broken or damaged. you do always run the risk of people screwing you over when you buy used, but that rarely ever happens.
also, look at the sellers feedback or buyer comments.
hope this helps.
thats why i will only buy used electrics. my revo was in good shap when i got it but the engine was wore out. i made up for it though when i got my upgraded emaxx for $60 and a rustler xl1 with esc , reciever, and controller for only $10
