RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

I am new to the RC world, and a friend gave me these. After getting them, I realized I may have something unique and valuable. I didn't want to build and use them if it was something of more value than I thought. Any help would be tremendous. I have a Super Blackfoot Item 58110-Clod Buster Item 58065-USA 1 Kit NO. 3165 and USA-1 Kit NO. 3241.

Please read the forum rules regarding new members buying and selling on the forum.

This forum also does not value specific items. Sorry about that.

Yeah, unfortunately there isn't really a price guide for vintage R/C items. Although prices have become out of control over the past number of years which is good for sellers but bad for buyers obviously. If you're looking for top dollar, your best bet is to browse eBay to see what similar items have gone for, and then list there at a price you're comfortable with. If you're adamant about selling here, you'll be able to gain access to the Buy/Sell/Trade section once you reach a mere 20 posts.

Sell them on eBay and buy the new equivalent version. You can try and find a “what its worth” value. But I’d put them on there with a start of $100 each and watch them go up quite a bit from there. A really high start bid will get a lot of people to just look past it and you’ll be sitting on them forever.

Old rc items can be worth a bit but not a fortune. You can expect prices similar to what they would cost to buy new, especially once shipping an sellers fees are added.

Those kits were popular, but similar kits are available for them. If you build one of them you aren't going to forever damaging an irreplaceable piece of rc history.

There is a lot of good selection in what you listed out. I owned a vintage clodbuster and a vintage blackfoot; the clodbuster was more fun. The clodbuster also has a very big folloeing with a lot of parts. I don't know much about the USA-1 but that seems like a choice between an electric and a nitro truck. All of these are popular and well thought of trucks any of them will be a fun build.
