75-100 tops

lol he could get a lot more for it than that.. it just needs to be cleaned up.

Clean the thing up real good.. like new.. then put it on ebay.. im sure you'll get at LEAST 200. All the things you mentioned are very minor.. just nicke and dime stuff. If the motor is running bad its no biggie, either bad tune or needs a new piston and sleeve.. that isnt enough to bring a truck's value down to 75. Does it come with the radio?

Remember, looks are everything. If it LOOKS brand new, you'll get a lot more out of it than if you put it up for sale lookin all ugly like it does now.

RE: rustler
 
dude, anyone who pays 200 for a rusty either works for rcca or traxxas

Nah im sure he can get someone to.. especially some n00b on ebay. They're going to look at the price of a new one on tower.. see 300.. look at that one for 100 less.. and consider it a good deal.

Plus there are plenty of Traxxas die-hard fans out there that would pay it im sure.

you sound like a used car salesman, but hey if you can get 200 for that thing, well good for you;)

I would say if you got it to run good it would sell for a lot more than if it needed a cupple little things.

RE: rustler
 
yea just take it to the lhs and have them fix it up for $20-$30 and you can make $50 more on it

I don't know... I would be lucky to get more than 200 for mine, and I've got some eye candy...
The value will probably drop on rustys since the new Jato is coming out.

RE: rustler
 
still some dirt on it

mittimj 03-28-2005 10:42 AM

RE: rustler
 
with compressed air that would come cleen in about 2 secconds. if you dont have a air compressor then you can buy air in a can. they sell it for cleening computer keyboards and stuff. once all the dirt is shot off then wd 40 will make the plastic shine. but first get all that dirt off.

You have a TRX 2.5 motor and that just happens to be the motor i just liquid cooled. I thought you might be intered in water cooling your rustler....

im a 28 year old mechanic that just happened to have a cool idea, you can get all the parts for cheap yourself... the radiator is the only hard part to machine...

RE: rustler
 
I have a Nitro Rustler and wondered if anyone has an opinion on using aluminum front A-Arms or I seen someone makes a more flexible A-arm. I do have aluminum rear arms but I do tend to hit a tree or something now and then. It's been a very good and fast car, beats many that are 4 wheel drive with a larger engine, so I think Traxxas Rocks! Any thoughts on camber setting as well?
