Soooo, my Voltage Granite lasted about an hour before I knew I needed something bigger. After a few weeks of research, I decided the BRCC is for me, since I love the longer wheelbase and the looks of the truck (looks alot like my personal truck). Found one for 10% off and was going to go get it, when I saw someone post two Vorteks on Offerup in a lousy post. They were listed as "RC Cars" with no reference to brand or model. Asking price was $650 for just the trucks. I reach out to the guy and he says "I just broke the purple one and don't know how to fix it. Come and get everything right now and you can have it all for $500." Um, OK! Sooo, he bought these on Saturday from the LHS (I have the receipt) and beat the hell out of them for a couple days before losing interest. Both bodies are scratched and scraped with one or two corner cracks (under an inch). One has a blown out rear shock but otherwise works. The other has a stripped spur gear. Both are equally scraped/gouged up. Tires are still good, though are obviously worn. One battery looks like it was dropped and is a little smooshed, the other is like new. Charger is a basic 2s/3s charger, but I do have a charger already. I took both cars over to the same LHS he got them from and picked up some new rear shocks and spur gears, as well as some 50 weight shock oil.
I don't really need twin vehicles, so I'm trying to decide what to do. Do I keep both but set one up for more street driving and the other for bashing? Fix, clean, and sell one to get a different model? I still really like the BR. Do I modify one of the Vorteks to look like a monster truck vs. stadium? Get a Senton? I'm open to ideas.
