Hey all! I am always on the hunt for good car and fighter jet model kits, so if you have any to sell, let me know! (please no started kits!) I also have a few brand new kits I might trade.
Mrf? Oh, yay! Another modeling type person. Though I've kind have been putting off working on my stuff for a while. I'm sticking with 1/72 scale myself. Just general aviation mostly for me, as well as some related vehicles. Are you looking for anything specific? (scale, era, military only?)

Yeah, I like to build military jet fighters such as F-14, F-16, Rafale, Eurofighter Typhoon, etc. I also prefer 1/48 scale (just got a 1/48 scale F-22 released by Hasegawa). As for car models I do 1/24 and 1/12.
I've managed to find a few 1/72 truck and non plane model sets. Even a couple of mech kits from a long defunct Japanese TV series. As much as 1/48 scale is nice looking, unfortunately I have neither the room or budge for such. I do know the airport I volunteer at does get the occasional 1/48 jet kits in. Maybe I can keep an eye out for you next time I'm out there.
OOH, i have a few totally unstarted kits laying around. Ive opened them and decided to work on something else instead. And all of the parts are there. I just need to find them.. considering i just moved and they couldbe ANYWHERE ._. if i find em, ill let ya know. I believe most of them are oldies though.. like.. older muscle cars and such.

depends on price
Well I know rollers (car with out the electronics which is how i first bought it as) go for about 100 used (thats what i paid) but i have every thing, 19 turn electric motor (could use replacing, $20 to get a good used one at a hobby shop), speed controller that can be used with a 12-25 turn motor (paid $50 for myself), 2.4hz radio/receiver that doesn't need crystals and u'll never have to worry about interference cus it changes frequency itself (paid $120), have one battery but im unsure wether i want to sell it or not as i paid $100 for it about 3-4 years ago, oh and the car is a truck, a traxxas stampede old style, oh and the lexan body could use replacing but isnt needed, this truck is nearly indestructible, a friend have the same kind and a car ran it over and nothing broke plus all traxxas parts are cheap and easy to get (the parts may be cheap price wise but they r good quality) so as for price make me a reasonable offer, and the electronics are about 2 years old but have less then 20 hours of use on them so they r nearly new (not including motor, i got that about 5 years ago and have over 200 hours on it) with the right motor tho the truck can easily make it to 30kmh and do back flips off 1 1/2 foot jumps :P
how does $250 sound with the battery?

Does that also include the radio control? If so I will do my best to scrounge up the money unless you are.ok with 50% up front and 50% next month
ya it comes with a 2.4ghz radio controller, its ready to run other then the motor either needs a really good cleaning ( its a used racing motor and can come apart for regular cleaning) or replaced, i can post pics soon say about sunday night or monday. will this be ur first "proper" rc car? and i believe its a 1/10 scale

Yes, this will be my first true RC.
Alright, so I browsed eBay and brand new Stampede RTRs run $200 on average...
yes i no, but they come with a 3000milli amp battery (they last about 30 min), mine is a 4300mAh (which lasts about a hour) and batteries r not the cheapest, plus the rtr's that come with a 2.4ghz radio r $300, http://www.greathobbies.com/productinfo/?prod_id=TRX3607 (http://www.greathobbies.com/productinfo/?prod_id=TRX3607) plus if any thing happens to it i will be as helpful as i can be and depending on what happened i would give ur money back if u really wanted me to. im not trying to rip any one off, i'm also open to trades if u have science stuff or paintball or airsoft stuff, or even archery. oh and if u want to check out my motor it is a 19 turn epic chameleon.
Oh nonono, I don't think you're trying to rip me off, I'm just doing research into it and letting you know what I find just so I can make sure we are on the same page.
ya and if u went to a hobby shop they cost about the same but usually $20 more :P theres 4 hobby shops near me that deal mainly with electric and nitro rc cars and im chummy with the owner of one of them (im trying to get a job there) and im not dead set on getting $250 for it, i always leave a lil room for haggling.
