Everyone and their brother says their used nitro motors "run great!" when they're trying to sell them. It's rarely true.

Everyone's different, but personally I never pay more than 1/2 retail on a used RC item, and I NEVER buy used nitro motors.
Depending on the damage, this may be a good way to go. And I agree about buying used motors. I've only gotten a few, and have been fortunate, but I've got guys I race with who have bought used motors, and gotten total junk.

It's almost comical that the majority of motors sold on RCTech only have "1.5 gallons" on them...
