well i always have questions and ideas that don't fit in one topic so i will start a general thread and keep it all in one place.

i was thinking about trying one of these smaller rc cars that my neighbor is selling but not sure what it's worth. or if it is even worth getting. not sure what it is. if you know what it is let me know.

here are some pics:

Looks like an RC18T.

edwalsh18

thanks! are they any good?

this is some more stuff he had for $200 let me know if it is a good deal.

Druss

The two servos are about $27 new, the battery is about $30 new, the balancer about $60 new, the XL5 depending on the version is $60 or so. That's all about $204 new. I have no idea what the weights, shock bodies, bumper... etc. are worth.

I personally would not pay $200 for that.

The RC18T is a decent little truck even if it has sloppy steering.

The truck and all the parts? I'd say $200-$225 for all of it. Assuming you even have a use for it all.

I'd like to point out that a lot of people over value their used RC stuff. Especially when someone comes along that makes them obsolete.

The RC18T new retails for just over $100 RTR. There are some bodies and extra wheels so it might sell on ebay for $60. This is purely based on the fact that I don't see any batteries, radio or charger for it. So it's basically a roller with servo and motor.

yeah actually all of that stuff was for $200, here are some more pics of the bodies

MORE PICS...

i had this sitting in my garage for awhile and just stumbled across it. anyone know what it is or what its worth?

imprtkid04

Its a two channel amp, could be worth 10 bucks could be worth 150. Whats the model number on it?

edwalsh18

it is a phoenix gold amp, ti1000.2. i found a manual for it. it is made in USA. hand made. it seems it is a real powerful amp. my brother had left it in my garage and there is another one that matches but it looks like i can connect more speakers to the other one.

imprtkid04

Its a decent amp, could prolly raise some good money for it on ebay if your brother doesnt want it anymore. If your looking to get rid of both of them, let me know. Im not to interested in a 2 channel, but if the other one is a 4 channel id be very interested. Im right down the street from ya anyways lol.

i am trying to figure out a few things about this. if you know anything about what it is or its specs. let me know. i know that it is a kyosho wild dodge. i would like to know:

what size hex does it use?
where can i get replacement parts?
what hop ups are available?
how much is it worth?

edwalsh18

i ended up getting that kyosho. i also got this stuff:

HJJFFFAA

So Cal

The first pic is the shourt course body from the toyz. Looks cool, i need one.

edwalsh18

hey SoCal since you said the diff upgrade would make them indestructible that gave me an idea. i would like to take some revo diffs, shafts, and knuckles to make some custom straight tube axles for my 1/6 scale MT build. maybe i could do the same with a set of rc18 diffs, shafts, knuckles. and use them for my son's mini MT. maybe that would work and i should buy that rc18 from my neighbor after all. (dont worry i wont need the body posts or the body) hee hee. you think it would work?
