Grab it. I sold my NIB Nero Big Rock for $875.00 + shipping. Still regret selling it!
It just is.
It's a literal beast. Lay down suspension, bulkhead chassis design, remote locking differentials; center,front, and rear, grey/titanium anodized components ( shock bodies and axles), longer shock travel, and beefier ball ends. This is a Nero and even it looks like a bad mofo without a body. ...and fairly rare.
I’d love to have one. Keep in mind though it’s discontinued, all bought back from stores so if it breaks no parts.
I can’t justify spending 800$ on a truck that’s discontinued, can’t get parts for, and will feel bad to run it because “it just is”. Looks like a cool design but even if i could get parts for it, it looks like a NIGHTMARE to work on. Looks like i have to do surgery to replace a pinion lol. I don't get why they cant just bring it back into production and tell Traxxas to f**k themselves. I messaged the guy and asked what his bottom dollar is and he told me if i don't know what the truck is then don't waste his time
The NBR6s was the most expensive of the Nero platform. It had all the heavy duty parts that the original Nero and Fazon did not. These parts were the constant velocity axles, u-joints, and shock rod ends. It also had a body that fits snugly and completely over the bumpers, and a higher center roll hoop to protect the cab of the taller body. Those bumpers were finished in the same gun metal grey color as the drive shafts, shocks, TVPs, and wheels. Hope this helps.
Most of the parts are still readily available from Horizon/Tower, Amain, Amazon, and Ebay.
I'd say go for it, since you already have a couple of other rigs for hardcore bashing. If it really is new in the box, then $800 is worth it imo. I still run mine regularly, mostly on grass. After wrenching on it a couple of times, it's not that bad, but not easy either. Once you take it out of the box and see it, you won't regret buying it.I can’t justify spending 800$ on a truck that’s discontinued, can’t get parts for, and will feel bad to run it because “it just is”.

I can't answer those 1st 2 questions for you. No 2 people are the same, and what some folks may look as an investment to shelf others may look at as an investment in fun, to use. All I know is, after I ran my non diff brain Nero I couldn't keep my hands off it. I get so much satisfaction seeing it rip and jump compared to my 1/10th rigs. I do small jumps onto hard surfaces and bigger air on turf. Mostly I run mine on the turf though. If the diff brain fails, which isn't a common thing, you can find ways around it and set up the rig for your driving style. Granted I have two and am currently running the lesser equipped version so I'm not concerned with value depreciation or preservation since one is shelved...( for now).
What ya got?
Not true, drive pin will break. The weakest part of the drive train is the pin. Think it’s made by design to protect the rest of the drive system. Why I know? Because I have one and bashed the hell out of it.
