Thank you. I am trying to figure out specifics about the cars. I know nothing about rc cars except the toys I played with as a kid haha. I assume these are all electric vs. gas powered but that's about as specific as I can get... I'm a sports card guru lol so this this is outside of what I do. They are all 3 different sizes. Any info would be appreciated! Thanks

looks like 2 are team associated models. a rc8.2e and a tc4 club racer. the 2 wheel drive buggy (which you have no pics of without body) is a factory x x-6 cubed. the rc8 is worth about 200-300, the tc4 is worth maybe 200 and the factory x is worth maybe 250 as they sit. looks like all they lack are receivers. point of interest is they appear to have transceivers for lap tracking equipment. these were racers.

^ What cumquat would pay... 
I estimated high obviously, not gonna deny it. But I guess more of what I was saying is that you'd price them at say $400 for the RC8.2e, $350 for the X6, and $300 for the touring if you were to sell them. I've been to quite a few swap meets, mostly with planes and I have friends that sell stuff at them. They say that if you're selling a used complete RC, you take the regular price of what the RC costs minus the cost of the electronics and use that as your listing price. (If kit built or ARF, the cost of a new kit/ARF is the listing price) This is meant to attract a buyer while still leaving a reasonable amount of bidding room to get a buyer to pay enough.
So in the example, you might get $350 for the RC8.2e, $300 for the X6, and $250 on the touring.

yep, they look complete. they are actually a little unusual in that they have batteries. ordinarily, the vehicles in these types of posts dont have the battery packs. plus the transceivers.
