This on Nashville CL with an SC10 stock photo:


10 High-end Remote Control Race Trucks-Many never used, best on market - $3000 (Bowling Green, ky)


*Update - Due to people texting "kicking the tires", I'm not going to sell 1 at a time. I bought 10 all in 1 shot and wrote a check...It's all or nothing...unless maybe you have a 4-wheeler or something worth $1,500..then I'd keep a handful. You shouldn't have any questions because I'm giving all the information below.

10 SC10's Team Associated ($200 each). 10 DIGITAL (XP3D Team Associated) controllers ($150 each). 10 brushless 3300 Reedy motors w/ 540 electronic speed controls ($150 each). maybe 6 chargers (Reedy 447-S) all identical. Batteries are Reedy 3600 6-cell. I'd say 3 have only been driven for 5 minutes each w/ not even a scratch. 4 are new in the box never driven. 2 have been driven for maybe 3 charges. and 1 (mine) has been driven for 15 charges. And the most driven one is in the best condition because it's actually put together. You build them from scratch. You learn a lot and know how to fix them too. I'd say 1/2 or better of them need to be finished building, but are almost done. several need $5 parts put on them (no worries...I have all the parts).

Super fast! Everything is rebuildable. Great for adults and/or kids! Boyscouts, etc.There is probably 3 brand new spare chassis in package, spare parts for everything, lots of extra engine gears, tranny gears, shocks, steering components, etc. All new in packages.

Now, the great thing about these nice controllers is that if you have younger kids, you can simply adjust the % of power they are permitted to use of the engine. I'm telling you now, tuning it down to 50% power will allow kids to go faster then cutting them loose with 100% of the power. You can adjust how quickly the steering reacts and everything. Very easy to use. 1% increments, so it's fully adjustable if and when you get to that level.

You will be amazed how great they are. Make an offer. Make an offer of a trade if you'd like..just make sure to send a photo of what it is you're offering. 270-(seven, six, six, -----seven, one, six, six)

***Please don't ask for photos. Some are...brand new never ran, brand new ran twice...and just "like new" ran 15 times (which that one I'd sell last because I have it all tuned in). It's all new stuff and photos serve no purpose because they aren't used.

They are awesome and fun. I'll trade them away for guns, ATV's, etc. Or...I am building a deck on my place - get me a few tools from Lowe's on one of their store credit cards...you can make monthly payments to Lowes.

SO YOU WANT TO SEE THEM: My mother sits all day long in her house being retired. I'll have them at her house. After you see them (if needed), text me for final price. I'll tell my mother how much CASH you need to hand her and you can take them all at that point. I just have too many kids texting wanting photos.

I so want to call or text this person endlessly just to annoy him.

There's ALWAYS the problem with people who want to sell a large lot of items all at once, but expect to get the value that all the items would sell for if sold separately. It just doesn't work this way. They'll always make more money by selling off the items separately, but that's a lot more work. If someone isn't going to go to that trouble to sell lot items separately--i.e. if someone is going to be lazy--then they simply cannot expect the asking price to be the sum total of all the items if sold separately, but at a much-discounted cost. By selling a large lot in a single sale, you're taking the convenient road, and you ought to expect to sell for significantly less.

The "you shouldn't have any questions because I've explained everything below" really humors me. It hurt my head trying to figure out what the hell he was talking about in his mini book.
