Default Ebay Score, and eventual scaler build!

check out what i just scored on ebay!!!

$71 + $15 shipping = $96

bruiser frame with al the cross members!!!!!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=160158203694

this is the only way i was interested in building a scaler, and i didn't want to spend over $100 for it!!!

now deciding on what body to use, and if i want to go 1.9 or 2.2...

My mathulator says that it's $86. I sure hope you get it. Did you see that there is no insurance or tracking or garantee that it'll even arrive

For the extra $5.00 I would have gotten the tracking and insurance!

Good find though! Will this be the winter scale build?

That's a pretty good price. There was just one in the classified section for $135. He ships fast too. I've gotten some stuff from him quicker then most sellers in the US.

I was bidding on this chassis. I stopped bidding at 40 though. Glad someone on this site got it. good luck with your build.

i am also considering instead of using a body, making an F-Toy tube cage to go on the frame....

f-toy would be killer! like you, i didn't build a scaler until i had a bruiser frame. there are other options, but i like the bruiser.

i agree, the scale chassis for sale through the vendors are OK, but none are as realistic as the bruiser frame

really, that's about the only thing Tamiya dropped the ball on when they made the high-lift...
