Mine's back in the box and it's gonna stay there until I find something halfway cool to trade it for... I just can't bring myself to get a TC-3...LOL
If anyone wants it, PM me with an offer, either money or interesting trades (preferred). I have one extra front arm and a couple rears, a spare CVD, a few sets of bevel gears, a complete front gearbox w/one-way(had to use Yokomo parts to assemble it.) and an extra ball diff(assembled with the wrong balls...). Oh yeah...HB bumper brace, extra shaft and a few other things I'm sure I forgot. It's not hacked up, but the main chassis has plenty of parking lot scrapes...no digital camera.
I'm a "metric" kinda guy and I need something that will take some abuse and have halfway decent parts availability. I live in SoCal, so I can get parts for pretty much anything locally, except for the Pro 4.
Well what's the scuttlebutt? Dish it out, what did he tell you?
