New wheels and tires
Futaba radio

TC3 or 4 Factory Team edition. The electronics alone are worth a good bit.

Definitely NOT a TC3 or 4, those cars are shaft driven. It might be a TC5 though.
EDIT: Yup TC5

Just the ESC is $100. Really good deal. The guy that sold it must have been really hurting bad. The CF chassis is like a $30 to $50 upgrade.

Tell him really nice find

This looks like the car to me.

http://www.rcplanet.com/Associated_F...p/asc30105.htm

The guy he got it from was not hurting.He bought it from someone at his work put new tires on it and just has no use for it we just built him a MOA Night Crawler.He brought it over to drag race Tylers mini E-Revo and I told him if he was going to sell it let me know.He said ok I want 150.00 and Tyler went straight in the house after cash.We though if nothing else we could put the Motor/ESC in his slash.
I must say the car is kinda fun but I noticed it pushes in the corners after inspection I guess he was trying to get it to hook to race Tyler so he glued the rear diff.But I think that will be a easy fix.

steal....i used to have one when i raced onroad and carpet...had about $800 in mine without radio gear...if you have a race track anywhere near get to it, they are alot of fun...only problem (and the reason it got out) is that onroad guys are just a$$holes cause they think they are the best. you could triple your money just buy throwing it on the bay.
