last i checked an "i don't know what kind" always is a good trade.... just because someone says it will do 60 doesn't mean it will do that now or that doing 60 will be good for it in the long run.

Not to sound like a grammar nazi but you post is a huge run on sentence and very hard to comprehend.

If I'm understanding it semi-correctly, you're trading your nitro sport for an undisclosed truck that doesnt run and probably needs about $60 worth of parts to get working?

Does your nitro sport run? Is the motor the only issue with the other truck or is there other damage? What condition is your vehicle? What IS the other vehicle exacty?

You're going to have to give us more details so that we can help steer you in the right direction on whether this is a good trade or not.

Would you trade the car you drive to work everyday for some "IDK" car that someone you don't know told you it goes 200mph? We need more info or at least a picture. But it's your hard earned money and you spend it how you wish. Just saying.

It depends what Associated vehicle is wants to trade for your Nitro Sport, what all is included, etc.

Keep in mind Nitro Sports do not have much resale value, let alone in non-running condition. A new piston/sleeve is going to run about $40 for whoever trades you for it, unless they have another engine they plan on running.

Justin man, did that last post you made make any sense to you? Because you lost me at just to clarify.... Is it opposite day? ANyway im assuming you MENT to say your truck does NOT run, and his Does correct? You need, i repeat NEED to find out what Model his truck is, and possibly what series/how old. For all you know it could be a New Bright truck he bought at walmart and put assossiated stickers on man. C`mon.

Well thats a good start, but it would be nice (for you) to know now what model it is so you can sheck out the parts availability and aftermarket support.
