It's an item, for sale, with a listed price and a limited amount of pictorial evidence as to condition. I thought the comparison was pretty accurate.

How hard is it to send a message to say "Can I have a picture with the body off, and of the bottom of the chassis", or "what condition is the chassis in"??

I saw your roller, and was almost going to buy it..... but if you're going to insult members just because you got called out on being a lowball flipper, I tend to lose interest.

I like how the motor guard is still present at the back. Aside from the gearbox, it looks quite nice.

As for the other one: Savage etc. for 2K? Really? I also wonder how his unassembled RTR works. Is it a disassembled RTR? A RTR that was never driven? new? a kit that he's trying to sell as RTR?

You just have to hit something really hard, and it will "unassemble" itself. ;)

These sorts of ads pop up all the time on Craigslist, it seems. Someone drops $400 at Hobbytown, gets bored after a couple runs, scratches it all up, and tries to sell it for $350. Or rent comes due, and suddenly the $800 they "invested" in shiny parts for the Revo seems like a bad idea...
