True about deceptive ads. Heres my dealing with a deceptive ad.
I'll be honest this spring I had no idea what I was doing when I got my 1st Nitro MT for $100 on ebay(way overpaid I know). Guy claimed excellent condition, engines good, and the whole spiel. Got it the engine gave me trouble non stop (it was a old Nitro star.15FE) turns out its pinch was shot. Bought a NIB Nitro Star T-15 (I find it 100% reliable never failed to start yet, and decent speed for general bashing) for $65. 1st tank after break in the original MT parts started breaking due to being brittle with age. So many parts were snapping left and right I actually bought a box of MT1 parts off Craiglist for $50 (actually assembled a 2nd MT1 out of the box). Now only stock MT1 parts left after 5-6 months of use(almost a gallon of nitro) is the chassis plate, center gear assembly, and the diffs. Every other part is a MT2's and none have broke. In all truth I wish I came here and asked questions 1st instead of just going out and buying it.
Weird thing is the 2nd MT I got for $50 has yet to break any stock pieces and it actually looked older than the 1st one I paid $100 for. In all truth after all the parts I bought I probably broke about even with a new MT2's cost.
But hell one thing I did learn from the whole ordeal was how to completely disassemble and reassemble a MT1/MT2 without even needing an instruction manual I did it so many times

And same with my electric's, well don't wanna take the MT1 I converted out due to its parts age, my Brama I gutted because I'm doing a complete overhaul on it, and am currently waiting for some aluminum drive chain parts from china(it took me around 3 weeks to find dogbones to fit my new cups). After that comes in I'm gonna order an 8.5t 60a brushless ESC/motor combo for it to try and make one of the fastest bramas out and tomorrow(or day after) I will be getting a Tamiya Plasma edge kit, that I'm going to dump all waterproof electronics in for my winter driving.
