whats my Hot trick rc10/frog worth?

Post by FlyinGN »

.. Here are the specs/pics. I want honest opinions on what you guys think i should set the ebay reserve for..
It just sits and i don't want to run it due to its value.... Its a rc10 front end and a Hot trick chassis and Frog diff and rear arms. Its quite a hybrid. It was a fast car in the early 80's... Has the best of everything.. Robart speed controller, thorp ball diff and thorp rear dogbones, Andys front arms, bearings throughout, extra tires, whels, RARE thorp aluminum spoiler/wing, Buds bi level wing, 4 or 5 motors including reedy stocks and modifieds, Kyosho Lemans, and a MINT Checkpoint platnum motor. All work perfect. I have a complete set of pinions too.. . also gonna include a mint Aitronice XL2P radio with it. Comes with a painted body and an unpainted body already trimmed ready for
paint.. all early 80's stuff.. on wants to get into gas 1/8 scale... and we all know how much $$ that is..

Hi, again here, all is about finding the right person, I would say that car should easily hit 150-200$, you would sell it for more bucks if some of the items were sold separately though... If you ever want to get rid of the Checkpoint motor, I would love to get it off your hands, PM me :wink:

ya unfortunetly parting it will definetly get more money..

the shocks will probably get $20
Aluminum Bellcrank $25
Hot Trick Front Shock Tower for RC10 $25-30

and so on, the Speed Controller, the chassis, the few misc hot trick parts, the motor, the frog parts, the antenna mount, the wing..

and there wil probably be the random rare odd part that 2-3 people will want and throw some high bids in for..

sorry to recommend chopping but then it will get many new homes and many peiople happy lol...

I thought about it, but I don't think the chassis was new.
