The DO NOT ask "What is it worth?" rule

Post by MelvinsArmy » Wed Oct 15, 2008 11:38 pm

It's simple, do not start a thread asking what your item is worth. We are not "Antique R/C Car Road Show" here to appraise your goods. The answer to "What is this worth?" is "We don't know." Another answer is "Whatever someone is willing to pay for it." Do an eBay search for similar items to get a ballpark figure.

I would like to request that it be made mandatory that members include pictures of the articles they have for sale in the BST section.

Thank you for your time.

First post

Are there any good stories about RC Racing rules being bent, or rules being written because someone did something that gave them a huge advantage that nobody else thought of?

One of the race car engineers most famous for doing this was Smokey...

Awesome! Yes, that shop right across from Blossom Athletic Center (stadium) - I think the initial owner was named Mike Santiago, and yes it might have been Red Line Hobbies at first?

The name Ward Merrill definitely rings a bell, I don't think he...

...but everything you would want is discontinued ... even though they list them in their online catalog... :(

It appears they do business by drop-shipping from Horizon or Great Planes (Tower Hobbies).

I did use the telephone just to confirm, it...

When I called I had a list of part numbers and just went from top to bottom... I'm guessing the person I talked with just used Tower's or Horizon's website while I was on the phone: No, discontinued, out of stock until the end of March,...

Is it worth going brushless w/lipo's using an RC10T3?
A lot of videos I see show stripped gears, flipping backwards because of too much power.

I imagine it's been answered before on here... Sorry!

While brushless (sensored) is better than brushed, I've been able to get a supply of brand new motor brushes, a couple of lightly used modern brushed speed controls, and even a couple of nice brushed motors for absolutely free from people who had...

Give back to the vintage community and let Jay repro it! Even if it was to be destroyed in the process you would end up with shell as good as if not better than the original. Jay's shells are the best!

Just seeking opinions on what people make of this car. Im thinking of tracking a nice one down....hmmm?

Last post

No, those are the std XX4 front arms. I looked at puting the XXX4 arms on the XX4, but they are shorter, and it would narrow the track width in the front. I thought about doing it, finding/making some shorter CVD bones, and running wide front rims...
