I bought something similar lately and it went for 160$, without the aftermarket chassis it's hard to justify more than that.

after buying and selling a few mrc's, you are realistically going to be able to get about 150-170 including shipping. having a spektrum rx will always help your price. i tend to price my stuff a little more than what i want to give yourself a little negotiating room, the problem comes if you price too high no one makes offers, too low and people assume there is something wrong with it. i would start at 170 and be happy selling for anything more than 150 |

I'm just getting back into RC and noticed that the return on investment is terrible, especially compared to my audio and photography hobbies. He is going to get about 35% on his investment if he bought it all new.

| that is why i tend to trade a lot more than trying to sell. my suggestion would be to trade your mrc for stuff you need for the rigs you are keeping

Trades are a good idea, but trading doesn't really help when you are trying to get money for a new RC. Many thanks for the replies!!! | |

That's why he was saying to trade, so you don't waste money on a bad investment in a new vehicle. You probably spent $400+ on your MRC when a used one plus your upgrades would have cost much less. Same with the new vehicle you are looking at. I am sure you are going to upgrade it, so why buy new? Quote:

Where can you get a steering setup like that?
