Killer Maxx for sale - 08-26-2004, 02:42 PM

Its too much like mine, sick power and great looks. I have too much money invested in mine to not drive it any chance I get so I will let this one go. Its hard to make the decision as to which one to sell but I think I have an attachment to my truck and I want to keep it. Maybe a bad decision but oh well. If anyone is interested let me know, and it will NOT come with the M8 controller. I will install a perfectly working TQ3 in it on channel green. I will throw in the bump box, igniter, 40 series big joes (brand new) and all the parts that I took off it already. Has RRP steel spur and CB (I think the CB is RRP) geared at 65/18. Hardened diff gears at least in the rear (have not checked the front yet) and MIP cvd's all around. The only slider driveshaft left was just replaced and it feeds the rear diff. Both bodies in the original picture also. This thing is big, but not as big as I was expecting. i think its closer to the Monser GT or around there. The motor makes it a great deal and the chassis really keeps the CG down low. I want $450 for everything.









and one more the way I was running it today, these tires and rims are not included, they go to my .21sb maxx. this truck only comes with Big Joes 40 series.

Not sure about the manuf. of the parts but they look nice. It handles great, no flipping and does dry donuts on pavement.............cool. It is a really nice truck that I hate to get rid of, but I could not come up with all the funds I told my wife I could get to cover the price and rather than fooling around until I can get the money I decided to sell this one. With all my parts and these ones I could make one killer T-maxx. But I hate to do it as I have not used mine enough to part it out. Believe me that if I do not sell it in a few days then I will start the crossover on the truck and probably use the low CG chassis and O.S. motor.
Thenewguy brought up something that I feel I should address. I listed the sale price at $450 due to I actually got the truck for $399 and had to pay the extra shipping for the addtional parts and some more things to get the bump box working. A few minor other parts brings the total to what I am asking. I am not trying to pull one over on anyone, just covering my butt. Everything is negotiable and that price was a good place to start.

don't worry about the price, I'm allowed to sell a Nikko for $500 if I want. The buyer does not have to buy it if they choose not too. If you got a good deal on the truck that's your buisness. That truck is worth $450 IMHO. It would cost over a grand to buy a new T-maxx and make that one out of it. They say selling price of RC is half what it's worth so $450 is decent

Since it has been brought out... ( I was courteous enough to address the above in PM's) I had only brought up the price issue, because in another post, the purchase price was mentioned, and I didn't want him to have problems with people thinking he was trying to scam.... It's all good. Personally, I am only interested in the chassis....

This has been blown out of porportion(sp?). I don't think Josh was calling you out and I definately wasn't targeting any comment towards you indirectly newguy.....it's all good.

I can get so weird on emails and posting sometimes (because you can't hear the tone of voice your replying too). I learned that if I feel like snapping or whatever, I TRY not to say anything. I get in trouble for it at work all the time. I'm always yelling and snapping on people over email at work.

Anyways, Josh, newguy, Tex....shake, hug or whatever............lets's just drop it

No problem, it's all good. I wasn't taking anything out of context, Just pointing out to Josh that people may question the difference in prices. We all still buds....

I'm just hoping someone else is just interested in the motor and tires, so it'll be easier for him to part out the Chassis.... I have liked that chassis since I saw the "project truck" on Showme's site. I especially like that you can still keep the regular Maxx drivetrain. Whereas the JT Hybrid, you have to upgrade to the MP setup.

I have no problem with someone pointing things out to me like that as long as I know the person a little bit. I think the truck is still a good deal at the price I set and the components it comes with. It will sell to someone or by splitting it up and selling it off individualy. I have no problem selling you just the chassis, rolling or not, check your PM's newguy. Thanks for everyone being cool.
