Meh, I'm weary about what I buy on Ebay. I bought a used 3s Typhon that had broken parts, leaking shocks and other things that I had to fix. It turned into a Fleabay purchase. Be very careful when buying "used rc vehicles". Most of them look and are garbage. Even the buyers are shady. Some guy said that the motor that I sold him (a used Castle 800kv motor) was "bad". That was BS! I had to give that idoit their money back and I lost money on that one. And not to mention my time shipping my damn thing and all that. When I got the motor back it was working fine. And I sold it to someone here. Yeah Ebay sucks big time sometimes.

Yeah, the new stuff is good and I have bought a couple of good used rigs, but it's risky. And I was around in the early 2000's. I'm 47 😜

I've been buying Ebay stuff since around the middle of 2019 when I started the RC stuff. I know what you meant. I was just poking fun at your statement 😜

I just paid $300 for a lego lamborghini sian on ebay. So far, it has turned out well.
 
Can we talk about how RIDICULOUS new vehicle prices are in the US? The average new vehicle payment is now $1k per month??? WTF? With insurance and maintenance, that would be more than my $1200 per month MORTGAGE payment! I will NEVER buy a new vehicle that is worth more than $20k if I still have debt and haven't paid off my house and have like at least $200k in my retirement account. I have been horrible with my finances until recently, but a huge car payment hasn't been an issue for me since 2005. That's the last time I bought a brand new vehicle (Hyundai Elantra) for $12k 😂

You're actually able to do that with UPS. Any other delivery driver would probably pepper spray you. :ROFLMAO:

Anyway enough about that. Anyone got a band aid or some krazy glue to spare?

I'll keep fixing my reliable 2003 chevy trailblazer with 185k. It still looks good inside and out
