What you pay for a truggy rolling chassis? -
09-29-2006, 02:11 PM
Includes body, wheels...etc.. In good shape, needs only engine, servo's, radio tray.
I'm trying to get a good price range to work with as I would like to pick up a truggy at some point in the next few months, but i really don't want to buy a new one. I know there will be concessions to it as it would be a used RC but a little wear and tear is acceptable. I'm looking mainly at the pro kits as it would be cheaper to pick upall of the HD parts in a pro kit or factory team car than buying the RTR version used, and then upgrading. Currently, I'm looking at Kyosho ST-1(STR), Mugens, Jammin CRT pro's, etc.... Info and advice is appreciated as I'm just now starting to watch ebay for average prices on truggies.

I bought the TTR ST1 brand new (second hand) for $400, but that was a good deal.

I got my Jammin X1cr FTE for $177 on ebay, and it was in "like new" condtion, needing only tires and running gear.
While I don't think I'll find another deal like that, I can be patient enough to get a truggy for up to $350 I think. May take a while though before it happens. thats my price limit right now. Maybe when uncle same gives me a tax return this coming Feb I'll have more funds to play with.  Little Toys: Hyper One Seven | Inferno GT | Jammin X1cr | Jammin CRT Pro | 1989 Batmobile Replica

Its hard to put a limit on what you want to spend, especially if you are going to race. Because you will always need spares, you don't want a day to end short because you don't have the part. You will end up upgrading it so that is more money.
In your price range of 350.00 I would look at a LSP, you can usually get them all hopped up with king headz and other improvements with a ton of spares for your price range. Its an older based truggy but still competitive on the track. There a few on truggy racers loaded with tons of spare you can get for a steal. I know I sold mine all hopped up with king headz and a bce chassis and enough spares for anouther whole truck for like 360.00 Because eveyone wanted a crt or str so the value dropped quickly. This might happen with the crt and even the kyosho with the mugen truck and the losi comming out.

Well its a Mugen MBX5T, with some prospec parts is how the description was. Its not the prospec itself though.
However its ready to go other than the radio system. MBX5T Crimefighters Picco .27 Jp1 pipe Hitec 635 for throttle, JR 650m for steering no body though. I usually run without one for a while anyways. Little Toys: Hyper One Seven | Inferno GT | Jammin X1cr | Jammin CRT Pro | 1989 Batmobile Replica

I bet that's the Mugen MSR kit on a MBX5 buggy.
That's a whole other ballgame compared to the new MBX5T. still a cool truck and it looks like you got it for a great price. Do you have a link for the sale? I am really interested in checking it out.
