Craiglist rc parts/cars posts, hilarity thread

[abailey21]

is that urine they're covered in?

I had to look twice to realize that the first one wasn't broken in two just behind the front front bulkhead - stupid steering link with the same color as the background. Anyway, I bet it ran real well outside with no electronics and that unglued tire.

I can't believe it! Same concept just with R/C.

Ooh, shiny! Nothing like buying a car and needing rubber gloves to take it out of the package...

The one that bothers me on CL is the gigantic block of text with no paragraph breaks (and never the information you actually want to know), and the whole second half of it is "keywords" that have nothing to do with the item being sold.

Note, another rc ad with no pictures asking for a decent chunk of change. Ready to plunk down $300 sight unseen? Note, make sure you ask your mom for a ride after she picks you up at the mall.

Not a terrible deal actually, but is that one body sprayed with bed liner??

Sure looks like it. I wonder what it weighs.

Picture saved for posterity. That's a good solution to bashing and not messing up your body!

Why does it look furry? Coated in mold?

Do you mean that black Revo? If so, It is coated in rubberized undercoating. It is something new that bashers are doing to try to keep their bodies in one piece and protect them.

Having tried the same with flexible glue, it doesn't work. The bodies still crack and tear, except that the pieces are held together by the glue/coating. Perhaps driving more carefully is a better option.

It's a Revo...... driven 'carefully' means only one backflip off the jump, not two....
