If someone wants you to buy one for 200, deff not. They are 220 new. Off hand i know i sold a tornado for 170, but i woudlnt have payed that. You never know how it was broken in, what temps it got to. You can never trust used motors. One thing to think of, is that 1/10ths are cheap and fun, but 1/8th scales are a lot better. They are a lot more durable, and faster. The hurricane is only 250, for an extra 50 bucks you can get a brand new one. I have it and trust me, its amazing. Its got a sh .28 which puts out gobs of power.
