I think its a combo of the lack of interest in nitro lately plus most have moved on from the tmaxx plus a lot of people use facebook groups (which is a mess) i still have my tmaxx 2.5 but it just sits there
I remember the days of the maxxtraxx forums back in 2001 or so, if you posted something it got tons of responses instantly and by the next day it was 4 or 5 pages back

There are better platforms than the T-Maxx. I fixed a pair of T-Maxx trucks for a friend of mine that sold them to finance something better/different. If it has rare hop-ups or chassis parts on it, then selling it makes sense if you’re not sure if you want to keep it.

Take the assembled one completely apart to give it a good inspection and cleaning - throw all the plastic and/or worn out, dirty pieces in a box to worry about later. Clean up/polish the aluminum parts and nice plastic and especially any UE parts and start building off that chassis. Set aside a separate work/display area for that truck to make it a long term project so during down time you can drool over it and use your time to imagine and research the potentially awesome build it can be
Fun stuff like new wheels/tires and body sitting on the project can be inspiring enough and look good enough to keep you interested and want to complete it eventually. I regretfully sold an old 3906 Maxx a few years ago that I had fixed up with Gmaxx, UE and other awesome parts that are hard to find and $$$ these days

I'd say go for it. I have 2 tmaxx trucks. One is staying as a nitro and one is getting converted to electric. There's lots of parts available so shouldn't be hard to source what you need. As for selling I'm not sure your going to get much. I got both mine for free and there both fairly heavily modified.

For me...build it, use it a few times to see your creation work & make necessary adjustments, then sell it. Like ls1 said you won't get much but it will sell. oneloosenut on ebay will probably buy them both as is right now. I love building RCs but i rarely have the time or urge to use them.
