Wzak,
I understand you are on a budget, but consdering the price of this radio when it's on sale, I'd think real hard about it before taking the used radio. Steve's radio is going to need a charger, servos, and a battery. Charger is $13. Servos are $40 (for 4 of them). A cheap receiver battery will run you $10-$15. That's $63 and you haven't even paid for shipping yet. Put on top of it a transmitter that may quite possibly need repairs (figure at least $25 + shipping for a shop to check it over) and you could wind up spending a lot o money trying to get in the air. With Airtronics you get everything you need, it's all new, and you get a warrenty with it. For $89 that's a fantastic deal.
