Default LMAO! - Just saw this on the Bay

Built by a "master" builder. It looks like my little sister built it with a steak knife and a glue stick. LOL! Read the whole description an look at the beadlocks and body. hilarious! It's one thing to be a novice builder and its another to advertise that you are a MASTER builder. The auction is almost over too. I feel bad for the guy that bought it.

He claims to have been building them and selling them for years, never said he was good at it though.

LOL, at least you could get a new kit "prebuilt" from him for half the price of new then just tear it down and build it right... Or maybe not, he's got the reserve at $299...

The tires just sitting in the wheel is too funny, I wonder if he test drives them after they are built. I wonder if he knows the kit comes with window masks so you dont have to spray the entire body windows included.

hmm, Stroudsburg, PA.. I've been through there, you could almost hear the banjos as you drove through town.

He says he spent $650 on all the stuff pictured. He got beat.

Just looking at Tower

CR-01 Landcruiser $364.99
DTX Onyx 200 Charger $39.99
Futaba 2PH/S3003 Servo $47.99
Venom 3000mah battery $19.99 X2
DTX Intellispeed ESC $39.99
Tamiya Gunmetal PS paint $6.19
Tamiya Orange PS paint $6.19
total $545.31
Tower Super Saver Disc. -$60.00
total $485.31

What is wrong with that body? It looks like he started painting it, screwed it up and decided to sell it instead of fixing it.

Spelling is about as good as the rig. LOL No one bought it yet reserve isn't met.
looks like it's a "master parts kit" for the person that needs parts.

I sure hope whoever is selling that thing isn't a member here. and if they ARE?
I offer NO apology, I have No compasion.

later
Rich

i dont know why you guys are downing the rig so much





the chraftsmanship of the chassis is amazing! you'ld swear that it was built like that out of the box
i cant even imagine how many man hours were but into building that metal frame

did you see that awsome detail on the body?
the windows match the body perfectly
the body mounting holes arent even recognizable
and that roof looks like there was a whole lot or thought put into it and was just not cut off then glued back on

*if you didnt notice the sarcasm maybe this will help

Im a Master too!
Master baiter! been baiting since I was 12 and I can bait it with both hands too. Lotta skill goes into baiting. I have even practiced by sitting on my hand until it goes numb and then when I bait. its like someone else is baiting. You know about 95% of the world are baiter's, but non possess the power of being a master baiter.

I just noticed, the front holes for mounting the body aren't even...

Maybe by "Master" he meant to say a master at building with Duplo blocks... Makes me wonder what that drive train would sound like the first time you put power to it, if it would move at all...

Yeah, but can you give yourself a reach-around?

Sorry, you're just a regular jerk off, not a Master Bater.

I"m sure thoughs are just the ones for the receiver pack, "that's sitting" on the chassis.
Nice amount of toe in too. What a laugh I've gotten today from chit chat.
