200 - 250

IF you were selling it in the UK and IF I didnt already have one I'd pay £200 for it, $400.

Thats based on my perspective and on the UK market, which may or may not be even remotely close to the US 'used' values.

Good luck with it tho

used stock would be half retail usually so used modded should be around 75% retail so about $350 (hard to figure out because the revo is discontinued replaced by revo 3.3)

I would say between 300 and 350 on ebay. It seems like any Revo 2.5 or 3.3 that has an aftermarket motor goes for that much regardless of what other mods it has.

id also sell 2 gallons of never opened sidewinder 20% with it. just got it ordered.

Yea, I'd think around 325 or so...but I'd love to have those pro-line badlands!

malibuboats4

ill trade you for my tmaxx

jarett 92

thats my other thought...parting it out...but if i did that would i have to completely take it apart and sell everything individually? and do u think i would make more if i parted it out? i didnt really want to but i wanted alot more than 300-350 for it.

rcnitrohead

I think you will get $350 to $375. Thats a realistic price[8D] Good luck. Is the Sirio .23 comparable to you're RB 523?

jarett 92

never seen or driven with a Sirio in my life.

My Feedback: (1)

you will probably get more for it selling it peice by peice.

rcdudegermy10

I'd only part out, stuff that you have duplicates of, tires and wheels, bodies, radios, etc, but you should sell the car as a whole, so that it has everything needed to run...

You'd be better off parting the truck out because, in the end, you'll end up with more money. If you really want the most money, part it out and get your money back. Not all of it, but more than you would've gotten selling as a whole.

If you have stock parts still, I'd part it out and sell the rest as a roller or pick up a dirt cheap 3.3 off ebay and sell it as a stocker. It's always tough when you get out of a "custom" hobby and try to get some of your investment back. I had 15k into my race bike I was building up and only managed to recoup 7k when I closed down shop

I just sold my modded T Maxx on ebay. I only got $305 for it. I must have about 1200 into it. It paid for my Jato so thats all I wanted.

Used RC's don't bring all that much. That's just the sad truth. Figure on getting about 1/2 what you have invested. Parting out may get you more $$$ but it's also a lot more hassell.
Personally, when I buy a used rc I am pretty picky about the truck and the price or both. Just to be blunt about it, very few people maintain an RC like I do and I simply do not trust that most people have repaired/modded them correctly. I never buy a used nitro RC unless the price is good enough to replace the motor and still have a good deal.

My last used rc purchase was an RC18b w/ the 8kv mamba system, a 3 cell lipo and the all aluminum upgrade kit. It also came with a lipo charger, an extra set of wheels/tires, the computer programing cable and all the stock parts including the mortor, esc and battery. Total I paid, just $200.

jarett 92

so if i part it out do u think i should take the entire thing apart and sell all the stock parts seperatly?

pinky2252s

yes

nothinbetr2do

you should put it up for sale here on rcu, they have a great market place

jarett 92

thats what i was thinking. i want around 500 though.

pinky2252s

yea im not so sure abolut that i don thtink you can get that much for it

jarett 92

with all my extra parts and 2 gallons of fuel i think i could.

jarett 92

i made a list of all my extra parts. i'd sell all of these with the truck and all of its upgrades and 2 gallons of 20% never opened sidewinder.

I think you should start out at $500 since thats what you want for it (maybe a little more) just incase you ever reduce it, you'll still have around the same amount of money you want to sell it for. Honestly parting it out might take longer but you will get more money that way. Thats what Icewindus and Broncobuster did when they sold there revos. They had a lot of money into them and when they sold individual parts they sold them for like $3-5 under the regular price.(most of the time)

Edit: If you end up parting it out sell all the gas with the mototr and pipe.
