Installed a Spektrum SR315 DSM receiver and been using a Spektrum DX2E trx combo (same combo from my 8ight-T Nitro RTR).

Are you selling because you're disappointed in it?

 

[Clubin]

Go for it

 

[suchtragedy]

How much? Pics of condition? And would you sell it without and those batteries? Those batteries are overkill on mAh and weight imo.

 

[aznbaker]

Disappointed is a understatement, lol.

 

[crimsonfancy]

Disappointed is a understatement, lol.

In that case I would shoot straight and tell the potential buyer what troubles you've had. Some buyers would maybe not mind making it better and some newer buyers could be disappointed in what they've received and cause trouble down the road.

Condition is good...haven't gone through a whole pack yet and yet I've replace the following, slipper clutch rebuild kit under warranty from horizon, rebuild kit for the original shocks under Warranty from horizon. Batteries has always been balance and storage charged...

Yes. If you put that info in the description when you go to sell I don't think any experienced buyer would be scared off.

To crimsonfancy (sorry, don't know how to tag you) but, nothing is wrong with the Kraton 4S, just should've gotten either the 6S and ran it on 4S for my 5 yo kid or, gotten another nitro...
This is what my kid drove before the Kraton...
Apples and oranges right, lol??

I have a soft spot for losi!
yep should have picked up a kraton 6s

 

[aznbaker]

Thanks for that info @crimsonfancy
@Clubin I'm starting to get that soft spot as well but, once you get going you cant stop in the middle of a project, lol. My next will be either a losi 5T gasser or, a tekno race kit...
Here's current pic of the kraton since @suchtragedy asked...
