Default SCORE!!!!

As i was with my girlfriend black friday shopping today i thought to myself "Well if she is going to buy all this i am going to buy something too!". So, I have been talking to this guy who posted an ad to sell his t-maxx. We agreed on 100 bucks. I agreed to buy the truck before i saw it. Who cares, its 100 bucks? If it is a peice i will salvage the parts. plus he said it came with a battery charger which is what i have been looking for. CHECK OUT WHAT I GOT!!!!!

Everything



Better tool set than i currently have...



Several spare parts (Yes those are extra Robinson Racing spur gears and a upgraded receiver pack)







Charger



THE TRUCK!!!

Just to give you all an update... I think the engine is blown. It runs flawless for about 10 mins then dies and wont start. After it cools i am good to go again. The classic piston sleeve warn out scenario. I dont have time to dig more into it becuase i am working on one of my other maxxes (The clicking issue) and it is in a million pieces.

I bet the guy didnt know what the problem was and just got rid of it. As soon as i have time i am going to either put a big block or a 3.3 in it.

Smart thinking to just put a new engine in rather than rebuild the old one....

[X(] Just those tools and accessories are worth well over $100! I'm sure you could salvage some parts out of the blown motor though.

I dunno about that man; usually when a engine goes "bye-bye" like that; a person is much better off just either doing the ERP; or completely rebuilding it....
