New Works 91 in Oz

[FREAK]

Hey Guys,
I have been looking through the forum and seems to be some pretty knowledgeable people on here.
I have a never been used Works 91 that i purchased new as an apprentice and never got going, but just bought the kiddies some R/Cs and the bug is starting to bite.
I purchased the buggy with spare belts, spare wheels (pink and also a white set) and tyres, all radio equipment, Reedy's Mr A ultra series motor, spare bushes and a whole host of other goodies.
Basically what i am asking is, would it be worth selling and reinvesting in a new buggy or holding on to this and finishing ot off, as the works 91 seems to be fairly highly thought of on here.
Like i said, never run and driven, brand new with accessories, with all manuals Japanese and English.
Value?? who knows

i really like the buggy, but am torn between sitting and completing or a ready to run buggy.

What do you all think?

[Mr. ED]

simple: get a new buggy if you want to run a lot.
If you can afford to da that without selling the yoky, all the better: keep it for later. Either to increase value or to build it when you feel certain about what YOU want.

Hi! (and merry Christmas!!).
I don't know about your financial balance.. but I would keep that beauty mostly on the shelf, to use it very rarely, in occasion of some "vintage races" as we do sometimes here in Italy.
Then I would invest (ok, it's not a real investment..) 100 to 200$ to buy a used car to run weekly (or daily if you have time..)
I would choose a popular one, for which is easy to find spares.
Don't forget to post a few pictures of the W91!
Bye

I'll buy it if you decide to sell it

[FREAK]

it looks like i have some serious thinking to do

too scared to use it, when and if i finish it now.

If I may offer you another way to look at this situation-
Yes you could buy this car, rebuild it and it could come up trumps. Sure you could sell it, make a couple of bucks but you'll miss the opportunity to enjoy this buggy out doing what it was designed for. Take it out for a run, clean it, service it and keep running it. Ive got plenty of cars I could keep on a shelf but what fun is that? We collect 'radio controlled buggies' not Tamiya static kits. LOL!

[Asso_man!]

only problem is that there is no where up here to race them. NO CLUB or tracks anywhere so would have to play on my lonesome. Oh well crap happens

i am thinking Gas, what do you all think???

[ericsp2]

I have nitro vehicles and i prefer the when not at the track. cause when the fun begins i don't half to wait till the battery charges. Just fill and go till the gallons out.

[FREAK]

thats what i was thinking

[slazzaro]

Well, probably this is not the right topic to talk about this (let me check how the subject moved away from the original one..), but the comparison between:

gas (you have to cool down between tanks, and a tank lasts 10 minutes or less)
electric (brushless + lipo made the revolution: I typically run in a track my XXXT MF2 with ballistic Novak 5.5R power and a 5400 Trackpower lipo for almost 24 minutes; then wait 5 mins for cooldown, swap the pack and start again..)

..has not an easy answer.
My answer is ELECTRIC wins, with no doubts!
