Shodog's Flea market Find
Re: Shodog's Flea market Find
in the same boat as i am...missing chassis. great find none the less. $5 was a steal considering you can part the package you have there for a grip of dough.
do you think its a bad twilight zone episode for team associated to be re producing a buggy from yesteryear that is capable of beating their latest and greatest production buggy?

Re: Shodog's Flea market Find
I have a nip black chassis and nose plate I could use but having a worlds car without the worlds chassis just wouldn't be kosher.jwscab wrote:so...a whole NIP worlds car for roughly 150+40+5=$195.00......c'mon man...still a bargain at those crazy ebay prices. Better yet, use an excellent condition black tub and a re-pop tower for significantly less....
I still have that yz834b and I haven't decided whether to run it or sell it.Charlie don't surf wrote:This pick makes me remember that fleamarket 834b you got a few years ago!!!

Re: Shodog's Flea market Find
Nice find
On a related note I found a beat up cadilac addressed rc10 box at a yardsale locally with a few parts in it that were well wore out with a radioshack buggy in it for $190. I tried explaining that it wasn't the buggy that came in the box but they said to move on cuz if it didn't sell it was going to ebay for twice that which they knew it would sell for.
I tried to inform but I guess they knew better since they researched it on ebay

They say that the early bird catches the worm. But what about the early worm?

That's a trick question.
Worms do not have wrists on which to wear watches, and therefore can not measure the passage of time. Without a measure of time a worm can not accurately set a schedule and thus can never be early, late, or on time.

Re: Shodog's Flea market Find
Worms have internal clocks and why would they even care about time? I have no watch and can tell time I digress. I have the same luck at garage sales. There junk is gold. Good score on the worlds parts.

Re: Shodog's Flea market Find
Same could be said for the bird. IF that is the case, then neither would be considered early. But since this constraint (time) is a human construct, both are (by our standards) early, therefore the worm got f*cked.

Re: Shodog's Flea market Find
Wow - the stuff of dreams!! Its quite a random thing to find at a flea market sale for sure.... even luckier for an enthusiast to stumble across it & know what it was.... to the average man on the street a 20 yr old incomplete R/C car kit that would still need alot of parts/electrics to get running would seem pretty worthless!
Congrats on your find!

Re: Shodog's Flea market Find
All i know is that the worm was delicious. Kinda like the ones you find in the bottom of a Mezcal bottle
Re: Shodog's Flea market Find
Wow nice score! I have had a few scores in the past but that one is dollars and cents ahead of any of mine. Congrats! FWIW find the missing parts and build 'er up
