I need to know what a goodd price for a TC3 with no pullstart and broken servo is? it is used for sure. What about a HPI R40 with broken pullstart and no body. What about for both of them?

You must mean NTC3....TC3's are electric lol.

redzebra24 · (#3 (**permalink**))

yes ntc i figured that out like 2 seconds ago

TC3 can be either electric or nitro. TC4 is electric only, if I'm not mistaken.

Without more detail on condition, we would be guessing, Red. I have been offering a complete, functional RS4 Evo3 for $165 with spare parts and it's still not sold.

TC3 is a nicer car, so if it has a RTR radio, but needs a servo and PS, maybe $125?
R40's are $$$$ kits. If it's in good shape, and has a good engine, maybe $300...but those are my guesses.

Give better info and you'll get better estimates.

A new HPI R40 Kit goes for $259-270 New w/o engine or body. I would say if the engine is good and the car looks in good working condition $200 is a fair price. I think bodies dont mean much for price unless they are freshly painted. Same with the NTC3 except I would say between $150 -200 it's an older style TC, but evidently still competitive. But then again either could go for upwards of 250-300 as dave said.
I just picked up a used R40 from a guy in Florida, I am waiting on delivery now. I got a killer deal, I got the R40 with a Mega ZX.12 & tuned pipe, 4 futaba servos, 2 radios, toolbox, tools, Bumpbox, extra set of foams, PMB setup system, 2 glow ignitors, glow plugs, Losi shock matching tool, extra parts and other stuff from the pics a transponder and onboard temp gauge. $320.00 shipped only raced three times. I'll post pics as soon as I receive it.

how does like 50 dollars sound for the stuff i listed

PoPRC · (#7 (**permalink**))

I'm confused? You want $50.00 dollars for both cars or each of them. Is the R40 complete? Got any pics? Item descriptions?

redzebra24 · (#8 (**permalink**))

no how does the price sound for if i would like to buy both of them

redzebra24 · (#9 (**permalink**))

and i think everything works execpt the pull start and the servo on one and the second one i think pullstart only

DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 · (#10 (**permalink**))

If you can BUY both of those items for $50, you can't go wrong, unless they are pure trash. IMO.

PoPRC · (#11 (**permalink**))

If you can get those for 50 bucks I would jump on it. The R40 is a good pro level TC and the NTC3 is just a good solid TC all around. Part availability is good for those as well. But if your offering that price for those and yhe person let's it go, then a steal for sure but I doubt you can get even one for fifty bucks. Unless like Dave said they are "trash"

redzebra24 · (#12 (**permalink**))

no they are good. only pullstart is broken, i will buy then thanks

redzebra24 · (#13 (**permalink**))

what if it is a rs4 instead of the r40? does hpi make a rs4?

Tex · (#14 (**permalink**))

yep, HPI makes the R40 and rs4. I would still buy the lot for $50, still a great deal.

Yep, and there is a BIG difference between the two.

RS4 - parking lot basher
R40 - World Champion's car

BottledBeast · (#16 (**permalink**))

and yes a tc3+ is a nitro

redzebra24 · (#17 (**permalink**))

what if it is only the rs4 for 30 dollars?

PoPRC · (#18 (**permalink**))

If I had to buy a first TC over again I would get the NTC3. Solid car, but I have alot of fun with my RS4 and its just as good a car but the NTC3 makes a better racer. But hey 30 bucks is a steal if the car is in good shape.
