Default What is used dtx .18 engine worth?

So what do you get when you cross too much power with not enough skill? Why a busted evader of course! So rather than fix it, I was going to part it out. Any thoughts what a DTX .18 engine with 12-15 tanks through it (including break in) would go for? The engine ran great (too great it seems). The pull start would be included as would the easy start plate that I was using. Would also throw in the glow starter (what a bargain LOL) and the exhaust pipe.

Closed on ebay at 31 bucks plus shipping--included the pullstart, glo plug, exhaust header and glo plug igniter--not that thrilled with result but what can you do....little cars are like real cars--really bad depreciation!

Looks like I made an accurate guess. I know what you mean I tried to sell a jam up ready to run HPI Nitro Rush that I had over $500 worth of hop ups on it not counting what the truck cost me in the original box with instructions and I could not get $175! So I said fine I would keep it and let my buddies, daughters and grandson when old enough drive it.

It's a hobby, not really an investment! The more we get into it, the more we spend for it! The return is either frustration or adrenalin rush, but unusually monetary value.

Agreed, just like real life jam up cars and trucks!
