All of my 6-cell and some 4-cell packs are for sale. I will have them with me at the track on Wednesday.
6-cell 1.175+ with maybe 15 charges on it. ...... $25
3x 6-cell 1.180+ team packs w/ between 10-15 charges each ....... $35 each or all 3 for $90
The 1.180+ packs are my primary race packs and I've had them less than 2 month with minimal use as I've been using my practice packs during most wednesday races. They are deadshort packs so they are killer for 19t and Stock but probably will not have the runtime for MOD.

About 10 runs on the carpet. Looks new. I'll have it with me at the track this Wednesday. I will buy another xray T1M this fall after the outdoor season is over.
Comes with painted body in very good condition. Two sets of foam tires (sets of 4) and one set of rubber tires. Also comes with original box manual and tuning parts that were in the box. It has been tuned for running on carpet and doesn't traction role anymore. I've upgraded the springs to heavier springs for running on carpet along with the shocks having heavier oil. Original springs and some spare associated springs are also included.
Invested over $350
PRICE $210 (remember it's still pretty much new)
For another $50, I'll throw in a Vantage Mod 11x2 motor and a spare 8x1 (team brood hand wound) armature. The 8x1 has about 10 4-cell runs and was just trued). The 11x2 comm in the motor now was run about 3 times then cut. The motor is freshly rebuilt with new sprint brushes. Both comms have only one cut on them so they are almost new. The can has less than 15 total runs on it so it is also in VERY good condition.

Some one needs to tell Bob about the standard price decay of a product, once you've bought and owned it. No mater how many times you've used it, it's like buying a kia, once you drive it off the lot it's immediatly lost 25% of it's value! Well actually a Kia would lose about 50% but that's besides the point. I usually take a 40 to 50 % loss on everything I sell
$50 bucks for a vantage when you can get a new one for $60? Come on Bob, your stuff isn't that good. Plus isn't this supposed to be an insentive for buying your car?
Here is how it's supposed to work.
"I'm selling a (brand X sedan), If your interested I'll throw in a vantage 11x2 mod motor for $30 bucks.
Crazy bob crazy!
I will admit it's well cared for and your a good guy, but what's stopp'n people from spending that extra 10 bucks so they can say that they are the only ones to have run it.

Did you notice the 8x1 (hand wound team br00d armature) along with that vantage. That was $35 and is also used but in near new condition. So that makes new $95 (plus tax) and used $50. I'd say I'm right on the money.
And it's a reasonable price.... just look at ebay history. I sold two vantage motors on ebay a while ago... both used way more than this one and sold them for $60 as a pair plus $5 shipping.
Mine is in much newer condition and also comes with a second near new armature. Again... I think it's a fair price.
And here I was going to pay you to paint a 1/8th scale buggy body for me.

$125
It has a nice futaba servo, a handbuilt servo saver and steering ackerman (makes the truck awesome), a mod motor, a factory team heat sink, 8 onroad tires and 4 new offroad tires, 60T spur. The thing is on rails and is extremely fast. Racing at Southpoint Hobbytown I get around 20-25 laps more than second place. The truck is much faster and much more consistant than a stock one. Oh.. two batteries also.
