I'm slowly collecting the parts to a Losi build that these will go in.

We're those the ones for $35 a few weeks back? I got a few motors from him, and he had quite a few batteries too for some reason the SCRs didn't seem to move, I would have though they would be popular.

Yep. I bought a Trinity Pushed 1700 SCRC from that seller a few weeks ago. These 1400's were listed for $35 but I didn't have the money at the time, and I thought for sure they would sell. They were re-listed for $9.99 and I was the only bidder.

After looking at their feedback, I see that I missed out on some nice motors and 1700 Point Blank cells they had recently. Did you get that UNO motor?

I almost nabbed those @ 35....10!!! Lucky guy!!!

I missed the uno, but I got a monster stock (should have nabbed both) and a Chris Dosek. $20 a pop nip.

Still have it too.

My first matched packs bought new were 1400scrs too. Probably a lot of us since many of us started racing in the same "era". Mine were from a smaller matcher B&T. Ironically our local track and hobby shop was B&T also... no connection to the matcher though...

My "first" packs were yellow duratrax 1500's, my first good pack was a Trinity Maxzilla 1400scrc

My tranny cases from Chris

An assortment of 48p pinion gears ranging from 22T to 16 T and a pair of Dirt Hawg II's.

More parts for my OIN build. I know the axles are Chinese knock offs but for $6.48 shipped I thought they would be worth a shot.

TWO brand new, in the package, sets of louvered side panels for my Big Boys Toys sprint restorations... the louvers serve no purpose but look soooo cool IMHO!

I got a sheet of carbon fiber but some idiot packed it wrong and it arrived BENT! Doh!

I like the front kick up on your new chassis there!

20 degrees dead on.....

Just so you know my luck isn't THAT bad...it's a 20 degree kickup chassis blank

All you had to do was ask....I have 80 linear inches of that stuff!!

I thought it would be a good thing to have around "just in case". I hadn't seen a kickup blank in years
