First off it's NOT discontinued on the Arrma website. And if it was does that make it more valuable or obsolete and difficult to get parts for? What did I miss?

If I do the math, $1250 is about full retail cost of everything. Used batteries are $0 so I'm thinking if they really wanted to get rid of it the price would be $600-700. Then again the average house in that neighborhood is $4M so they are used to paying way too much for things.

I'm really just jealous cause I don't have $50K a year for property taxes.

Lol "adult owned" means absolutely nothing in the rc world, especially on Arrma Forum

Not the worses deal I've seen.. I never got the Senton 6s bug myself, seems too much power for such a small wheelbase to be useful to me. A beast in a straight line I'm sure but, eh. Different strokes of course.

I just built a Senton 6s from someone's scrapped one. It is fun but the first thing I did was put bigger tires on it and stiffer springs. Now is good in reasonable length grass and a beast on the BMX track. The power doesn't really seem to be too much for the scale. It now works like a smaller Mohave. I don't think it will be my favorite truck.

A few have been on sale locally for $350 to $450... What turns me off about those is the older BLX electronics. Mine is nearly stock but has a newer Firma 150 / 2050kv combo.

Not overpriced at all.

1350 SF in Los Altos, no garage and crappy yard. Basically a tear down.

Or Move in ready, 1400 SF in Topeka with a 3 car garage and 3975 Arrma Kraton 8S BLX EXB Brushless RTRs

Kansas sounds pretty good to me! Los Altos, not so much, LOL. My garage is almost that many square feet..
Over here, you could have 8800 square feet on 300 acres for $2.7 million..

I love that people think that somehow listing out all the expensive ways they've spent money on their car and funds they've dumped into it will somehow make me care enough to spend more than it's actually worth. Shouldn't we all know by now that "improvements" rarely actually get a return on investment?

10k for a clapped out beamer

OMG what a train wreck.

First red flag. "Salvage title due to minor fender bender". What does that mean?

Mann oil filter, Castrol GTX, Synthetic, OEM <stuff> sensors? What - who cares?

Oh wait it's got a Moroso Coolant tank - aluminum. That OEM plastic bottle was hiding 20 hp.

I've seen things like this before. If you buy the car, it means you get to re-engineer all the stuff they messed up. Assuming they didn't already mess it up beyond repair.
