I bought a used E10 for $30...
that's about as much as I'd ever pay for one.
it needed the diffs replaced (they were included)
I shimmed the replacment diffs correctly too, there was TONS AND TONS of side-to-side play in the diff, which probably accounted for the stripped pinions.

and it also needs a new spur gear, and a motor mount.
$13 for a mount on rcmart isn't bad (I was going to make an order for other things anyway)
and about $10 shipped for a spur...

a total price of $50 still isn't bad
and I feel that it will be an adequate fun little basher as soon as that motor mount gets fixed. I only plan on installing a 27T, MAYBE a 20T stinger motor.
it's actually for my brother to mess around with, he doesn't need anything fancy.
I got myself a TA-05 at about the same time... I knew what I wanted

But: does it mesh with the E10 diff rings!?!?
