Well Fullmax, the first question is, are you going to list all of the missing parts or are you going to put them on? And if I didn't know any better it looks like the glow plug is upside down!! Lots of good parts but dont see the parts that are missing. Also didn't see a radio, is one included??

The Rear Skid Plate, Clutchbell, Exhaust Gasket, Exhaust Spring and looks like you might have enough fuel tubing the make the connection from the tank pick-up and the carb on engine. Thats about it from the pics, that I could see..

yes it has been cleaned since the pics and this is all i have to say i just wanted an estimate of value and nobody seems to want to answer the question ... everybody want to point out things that may or may not be wrong with the truck it will be shipped clean and in perfect working order so if you dont have a guess at the value then dont reply i'm just trying to see if is worth my time to sell or not i have well over $1200 in it and i know it wont bring half of that so maybe i'll just keep it on the shelf and drive it when the losi dies but that prob wont be any time soon as it is running strong and the engine is just getting seated in good............. please note that i am not trying to be rude but i only ask a simple question that should have gotten a simple answer

Fullmax,
Your question is NOT that simple!! its kinda like asking how much is my house worth, without being appriased. I was ready to give you an estimated value, however your attitude makes me wanna tell you to put it on eBay to find out what the value is. In fact, its only as valuable as what the buyer is willing to pay. You ask us to do you a favor, then act as tho we are picking on you?? I dont think so.. The questions we ask and things we point out are giving us good clear idea of what you have. If we just looked at your pictures and gave you a price, without knowing if you have the parts that are missing I would tell its only worth $100. Think About it Used, dirty = not taken very good care of $250 Used, dirty and incomplete = more $ to complete and repair $100 maybe and these are estimates based on a quick glance at what you showed. Now you think you could Tolerate some questions about what you want us to appraise for you??
If it was Clean And Complete your question would be simple.
Not trying to be mean to you, just put things into perspective.

the truck will be spotless and everything works fine no problems i dont mean to be upset i just dont take to well to criticism i am sorry for seeming to be short tempered i have just had a rough time of it lately and i am sorry about the attitude to be totally honest the clutch bell stripped out on the first tank after breakin in the new engine but i have a new one to put on it ,,, you can see the shoes (that came new) and tell it has not seen much driving i am only trying to sell it to put into the losi the genesis it to heavy i really loved it when i first got it and true it was my first nitro rc i was not real hip to how things were suppose to go but i assure you it never saw anything wet not even the dew on the grass in the morning and it did need a good cleaning and the engine was not back in place yet i just have not had time to fit the new clutch bell on yet i am a heating and air tech so i dont get home in the summer until dark sometimes and am too tired to do anything except read to my little boy... once again i am sorry for the attitude

yeah i got the clutch bell back on today,oiled it down , fired it up and burned about a half a tank just to make sure all is ok and it did fine then re oiled and put away also has new clutch shoes they came w/ the bell so i figured it would be better if both were new but yeah its totally spotless thanks to simple green .....man that stuff works good ,..no compressor but i do heating and air so i got nitrogen to blow it off with and i'm really surprised its that clean but yeah its ready to pack up and also upgraded the rx pack and the power switch so you can just plug it in without removing

oh yeah i forgot...... the reason the engine is new is because the CEN brand glow plug element came apart inside the old engine and got crushed into the piston and head and CEN would not fix it under warranty so i just replaced it with a new one i wont get into the whole story cause i need to be nice here
