I know this is Stadium truck forum but you guys make me feel so comfy...[sm=biggrin.gif]
A buddy of mine I work with wants to trade me a Laptop for his 3yr old T-maxx. He says hes got a huge tub of extra parts a new engine.(1 yr old) and all the tools and goodies you need to RACE with an RC. Now im not going to be racing this yr..maybe next.. But ball park figure what would you estimate a 3yr old T-maxx with a .25 engine...like 10 bodies and 2 of almost every part...
I dont have Cash, or I would buy a Savage...but I have been lookin to sell my laptop..Its worth about 800 bucks or so..I would get much more use out of an RC..lol..
Should I trade him?

how old is the engine (gallons used)?
what condition is the truck in
if you feel that it is right then do it

i would trade him but thats just me
why is he getting rid of it

Hmm, depends on how decent ur laptop is too

Well the laptop Retails for like 1400 Canadian...I forgot to mention all those prices are Canadian.. [>:]
The Engine has only been run like 5 times. And it does come with the Controller and Reciever...its RTR exepct for a One way bearing...
Hes getting rid of the Truck cause his wife said so...hahahaha.. and im getting rid of my laptop cause my wife said so...lmao....so it sorta worked out...

Don't know man, laptops are snazzy, but then again so are T-Maxx's... Just decide what you want and need more... You probably NEED the laptop, but WANT the T-Maxx. Just put things in perspective...

lol you guy are whiped
i have to go my gf needs me lol

Engine ran about 5 times? Hope, just hope it was heat cycled and done right.

How old are ya? Laptop is spiffy for a 4 year college, but almost not needed for a 2 year tech.

[sm=tongue.gif][sm=tongue.gif][sm=tongue.gif] lol That was pretty funny.
See the thing is, I have a PC already, my GF who I live with has a PC and a laptop..so It just seems logical to get a 500 dollar toy doesnt it... Oh Crap man no more School for me..The laptop was for nothing other than what my Home PC can do. However I could wrench in the garage AND get advice on the forum...I think the T-maxx wins over chatting with you guys...

What can you get for the laptop on Ebay? Take that money, and think about what you can get NEW.

I personally wouldn't do it, I think that the laptop is worth way more than a 3YR old T-Maxx.

Lets say that you get 1000.00 for it. What can you buy new for that?

^^ good point

Ya, I thought about that as well. On the other hand it has alot of spare parts, starter, fuel, so when you start addind up all the 30-40 and 50 bucks....Shoot....lol...

The fact that you have the power to do this is what irritates me. I probably won't be seeing a new R/C for a year or so. I'll just have to make do with what I have (see signature... hahah!)

Well see thats whats eating me here. Is I was happy with My Nitro Evader... until someone offerd me this deal.. I knew I wouldnt have the money to buy a new one, nor a used one, but a trade....HMMMM... I have wanted a Monster Truck RC for a long time now. Couldnt afford one Brand new so I got a Stadium Truck. Now a monster Truck is within my Grasp...Then I bet I will want a 1/6th scale...lol...Damn Hobby...

its a never ending itch for more toys

I know.Im almost at the point of Faxing all the local Hobby stores my Picture and Saying " known RC smasher...DO NOT SELL ANYTHING TO THIS MAN...If spotted, call his GF @ . ***-**** " [&:]
Not long after I got my Evader, I put all Aluminum Parts on it..only need The Swing arms in Aluminum, and I have all the hop-ups available..Thats horrible..lol

lol then the pepole that work at the lhs tackle you to the ground when you pick up a car

if u were gonna sell ur laptop anyways then i say good for it

Of course if you did sell it on Ebay, your GF would know that you are sititng on 1K and get pissed when you blow it all on new RC stuff.



Anty

Uhmmmm so like you are cheating on your wife or what?

Im confused.

Anyways, sell the laptop and buy a revo.

get a mamoth st

No man, my GF just THINKS that chatting leads to cheating...What she doesnt realize is the problem is MUCH worse...I chat with you guys..haha about spending all our money...

Thats EXACTLy what I was thinking to...
" Oh you sold it huh...so wheres my half???"

D0G, I had the very same problems with my g/f that you have with yours. Then she gave me the ultimatum...My toys or her.


Can't say as i miss the b**** very much though

honestly, if you REALLY think you want that maxx, i say go right ahead...but be forewarned.
NEVER take another man's offer if it seems too good to be true, because it usually is.
plus, he's gonna wind up with your whole porn collection
