I have a 3 race old Tamiya TRF501X with a Novak GTB 5.5r brushless system and a Hitec HS-5625MG servo installed and ready to go! The car was raced indoors only.....it's still shiny like new! The GTB is equally as new, wired perfectly and neatly in the car. The servo is about 6 months old, but has seen very little use....it was a back up servo that just sat in my parts box. If you're looking for one of these, then I don't have to tell you that this is a steal at $450 plus $12.50 shipping!
The kits are $500 shipped out of Hong Kong, or about $650 here in the US. The GTB is $240-275 no matter where you buy it! The servo is $75 new, and worth about $35-40 used.
Point is, if you're looking to get into electric, this is something that you would spend $750-800 on easily.....get it here cheaper and just BARELY used. I can have pictures up tonight.....if you want them, email me at courtney_vaughan1@yahoo.com (courtney_vaughan1@yahoo.com)
Email is the best method of communication....PM's go missed sometimes.
I've raced one of these with B44's and XXX4's, and it's hands down a better handling and MUCH more durable car! Aside from shearing a CVA pin from my poor driving, nothing has ever broken on the car that wasn't caused by my improper installation/building! These cars will take a beating where the other cars are ripping off suspension arms & snapping shock towers! I guess you get what you pay for, huh!
They fly perfect, and are quite possibly the coolest looking 1/10 car on the market!
With the 5.5r motor and a 21T pinion this is about a 50MPH car!
Parts are 100% readily available at Tamiya USA's website out of California (I think the bodies are on backorder right now though)
I accept paypal with a 3% fee, and cash as well. Local pickup is fine as well.
If this doesn't sell by the end of the week, it's going on ebay sunday night.
Have the trick'est car at the track!
