Anybody know anything about RC cars?

[Robinhood4x4]

I've got an old RC10 and a RC10L both complete with futaba transmitters. Anybody know the going price for these things?

[Seanz0rz]

my friend and ebay both agree: the l model could go for around 400 or more, the other for maybe 200, depending on condition. post up the specs and some pictures. im sure someone would know something more about them.

hehe that brings back memories.....

It really depends on what upgrades they have, all bushings or bearings? motor? etc....

not too sure the going rate, did you check eBay?

The RC10 is heavily modified but well used and abused. Carbon chassis, ball bearings, aftermarket transmission, etc. The 10L is pretty much stock. I've got 2-3 motors and a battery charger too.

I did check ebay, but didn't check too hard. I saw some in progress auctions for stock RC10's where the bids were up to $50, so I figured they weren't worth too much. Are they really selling in the hundreds?

thats pretty much what i could find on ebay. again i dont know what you have included with yours, condition, etc. but those seem to be pretty decent.

Sounds like one of my cars before I was sponsored(had to run a car that appeared stock)..... after that I got a new RC10 every 6 months for 3 years, plus made a nice bit of change building kits for customer at the hobby shop. I have a crap load of motors since they were given to me by another sponsor.. I designed and build a charger that got peak performance out of nicad packs, the only thing I supplied since I built my own...

Hehe, I actually learned quite a bit on suspension set-up on those things. Ironically it's virtually the same to a real vehicle......

Sean, 3 of those are not electric...... huge price difference. The electric one is a special edition version...... can't compare....

[Seanz0rz]

ah, was unaware of which he had.. i assumed gas.

Yup, physics are physics, not much different.

Sean, thanks for trying.
