normally I would say its not worth alot...

But right now stuff is selling on ebay for alot more $$$ than normal. Many are spending tax money i suppose.

I see vxl systems used going for $115 right now and no less. I have bought 2 or 3 used rustler vxl's RTR for $150 in the past!

I will say that I bought a used volcano EPX Pro RTR for $90 shipped a month or so ago. That was a rare find tho.

I would just keep the chassis till you can afford a $75 hobbywing brushless system for the volcano. Its nice to have a 2wd and a 4wd model. They are both fun, but drive very different.

u think $35+ shipping would be to much to ask?

Id say start the bidding at $30 + $15 shipping. It may only go for that, or it may go for much more.

Plenty of pics and clear details will help get more bidders.

Also, If you list fri-sat evening for 7 days then bidding will end on a fri-sat evening and be most likely to get bidders fighting for it.

Well guys i figured it up to be $40+ worth of upgrades and $30+ worth of new parts plus the chassis itself. so listed it in the market here for $50 shipped OBO or take partial trade on a body or 12mm wheel tire combo that i can use on my sons rustler.
