$300 with no remote? Thats preety steep for a used RC that can be bought for $450 brand new with everything you need. I paid $449.99 for both of mine. I see too many peeps buying this truck and raping it of its parts and then trying to make money off of it.

$300 ready for bump start (have you learned about this yet?...i see this truck was yer 1st rc) $200 as a roller...is that really steep? and i paid $500...dont really care what you paid or think...the fact that you bought 2 of these shows yer credibility...
it was broken in and had a backplate installed...

Not to tune into the argument here but I 2nd that $300 for a used roller is a tad bit high. I think $250 would be a little more fair with the plate because what are you going to do with it?
Another tip.. try not slamming people when you ask for help we are just giving you our opinion because you asked for it

its only $200 as a roller...$300 for a complete truck set up for bump start for $300(just no radio and receiver)(i would ask $400 shipped for the rtr with radio gear) shipping is gonna be about $20-$30....so im asking $100 for 2 servo's, motor and pipe/header....one could buy the truck and easily make the $100 back...this is really a great deal for anybody fed up with the ross or someone looking to go brushless...$200 for any roller is a good price when its this new IMO

Just FYI there's $150 rollers on fleecebay in case someone gives you a hard time.

All I am saying is to purchase the truck at $300 and then go buy the same Spektrum remote etc., it will end up costing more then just going and buying the entire truck brand new. And not having someone else's issue's and less money in your pocket. And as earlier stated ebay has the same set-ups as you are trying to sell with no operation time at all for alot cheaper.
If you only wanted the radio and receiver then why did you buy the whole truck? That sounds more noobish then me going out and purchasing a second because I enjoyed the 1st one so much that it was cheaper then buying the parts separately, Plus I have a brand new Spektrum unopened when ever I may need it and a brand new engine that's never had fuel through it. I enjoy my Ten-T and am not here trying to pawn off the parts I don't want, because I wasn't happy with it or I only bought it for certain parts.
SO after taking a second look at your craigslist ad and seeing how chopped up it is, Ill take the truck off ya for a $80 and you can keep the motor ;)

your asking to much, dude once you run a RC the value drops drasticly, people dont know the condition of the chassis, engine or electronics.........

im thinking it was this post that got the flaming rolling...its expected from almost all rtr forums...pretty much the whole traxxas forum is this way...i just try to remember that there are children and noobs that also use forums...so i just take the flame as it comes and try to be as patient as possible and try not to pop my top and get banned....could you imagine if somebody sat outside a car dealership and talked crap about the pricing to every customer that walked up? or outside the movie theatre telling people that a ertain movie wasnt worth the cost of a ticket...(these things require very bored people..aka flamers)...its common courtesy to keep rude comments to yourself...especially on a sales post
"I see too many peeps buying this truck and raping it of its parts and then trying to make money off of it."...you must be new to the hobby

First off, this isn't a classifieds forum. Second I already told you Im a newb to this hobby, hence joining the forum to help me along my learning process, not to be scammed into buying what looks like a fairly broken in vehicle for more then its retail price.
I never flamed you to begin with, I just gave my opinion on what you were trying to pawn off, you are the one who got defensive and went off the deep end. Sounds like personal issues to me. So congratulations with your sale and be gone with ya ;)
IF anyone needs or knows someone who is looking for a spektrum dx3s remote I have one for sale, $300 plus $80-150 for shipping and if you want the receiver I will throw that in for another $125 :D

Haha!!! Well this is great news to me!!! Ok ok ya ready? Ill sell you my whole Ten T radio and all for $800. Its set up for a bump box too. I had no idea this would up the value that much. And here i was thinking this whole time that i had sunk all this money and time into it when really its value has been apprieciating! Yeah.

All joking aside, that is reasonable. I took the stupid ROSS off and went bump box as well and its never been better. But really that wasnt a bad price.
