|  parts known buyers remorse :(
Anyone recognize who makes these aluminum parts? I just won this auction last night and just trying to figue out a retail value. Also wondering about the tires wheels and winch. Sorry don't have beetter pics just going off auction pics. I'm pretty sure i did real good on this. However just curious on to how good. Thanks. Nick.

They look like vanquish Shock hoops but could be wrong. and a basic lift/droop kit...About 60-65 retail for the parts new. The aluminum body posts not so sure What writing is on the ESC and motor?..Its a brushed set up..no telling value without names and models The electric fan and cooling motor you can get for 20.00 from integy..some brands may cost more though. The tires look like mudslingers..either proline or RC4WD brand/model about all I can tell..Links are hard to determine as they all look the same pretty much. Youre missing the rock sliders but can see mounts..ALuminum? Not sure on the winch..they go from 35 dollars up Shocks don't stand out as top models or common models used.

Rc4wd tires. 3racing winch. And looks like a cheap ally shock mount with a home made bracket moving the upper shock mount back. Did it come with radio? |

Those shock hoops are Topcad....and actually pretty good. The bracket looks home made....it's not part of Topcad's stuff

Well for all intensive purposes I paid $330 for it. I didn't receive it yet, but the esc and motor look cheap. Servo looks to be traxxas. Coming with bec also.Judging by the rest of the stuff probably gonna be hk..  |

the shock hoops are indeed topcad so are the rock slider holders my mate has both. the winch is a 3racing jobby the esc is a cheap chinise peice of junk it wont last long and wont have a drag brake so no real use sorry to say same go`s for the shocks there cheap and meant a for a 1/10 buggy or truggy looks like it has a level3 rc servo mount could be wrong though but it aint a standard one

Its basicly better than an RTR for around the same price..minus the ESC...puts you ahead of the game if you were wanting some of the same mods. I would change the wheels and the ESC if I picked it up...everything else should work on it with no problems. Enjoy it. Nice Vanquish integy top cad shock hoops you got...lol Did it come with a body? And to me it looks like the dingo short wheel base..could be wrong though Last edited by 6sharky9; 11-24-2013 at 02:12 PM. |

Its not that bad...It looks way better than a stock scx10..If you can run a 2s on the ESC I wouldn't worry about it...Everything but maybe the esc is better than an RTR equipped model...If you got an rtr then put those parts on it it would be more money than you paid...If you bought a used rtr even for less it wouldn't be that new or have those upgrades...you didn't do too bad with it...looks like a fresh build with some upgrades. You got strong shock hoops..a stronger rebuildable motor, aluminum links for upper and lower it looks like..the winch..good tires...waterproof servo stronger than a rtr one..aluminum slider mounts I think...the wheels look new..so what if they aren't beadlocks...Aluminum shocks..don't sweat it.

Thanks 6sharky9, youbdo have a good point. Atleast its all new. Plus i do only ever run 2s. I am not a huge "I need a ton of power" r/c enthusiast. So hopefully it will last till I can get a hh brxl.
