Looking for a traxxas funny car

[tlandauer]

These cars' prices have come down in the last year since their initial introdution, for a RTR, you can have it for just under $290 @ Towerhobbies. That is including motor and ESC and radio. With some discount and their "three easy payment plan", I would rather get a new one.
Just saying.....

Ya I've been looking for a bit. That one on eBay is a piece of junk, someone used it as a beater. I was hoping to find one that someone's already invested money in, and has taken care of it. I'd rather not buy a new rtr one if I can help it, but if it goes on much longer I'll have to pick one up before their discontinued.

Tim.... You have everything. Don't you have one you'd sell me? Your old wraith is one of my pride and joys. Not to mention about 1200. In upgrades to it, literally the only thing left I haven't changed is the bottom plate.

Yup, agreed.

I don't have a hot tub, only a swimming pool.
No, I don't have this, I have something very weird, a funny car chasis made by New ERA Racing ( Models)? A nitro funny car maker on the East Coast, now out of business I think, forgot the name, picked up as someone was selling their lot, but no body, now I am looking at the Traxxas body and wonder if I can make it work, mine is solid axle w/o differential, belt drive, aluminum ladder frame. One of a kind but probably would not run very well. I did run it once with a small 3s battery , no suspension of any sorts. Any bumps on the pavement would launch this baby into the orbit. lol......

Ah... I knew you had to have one, nice Looking car!!

[Scott M]

Tim, I've also been looking for a sail boat. Do you have one you might part with?

[tlandauer]

Well, thanks, wish I had a body. Traxxas' painted ones are $80 a pop.

Are you kidding???? With my clumsiness, I see myself tangled with the sails rigging falling face down smashing the boat!!! For once I am smart and didn't allow myself to get into something which I will regret.

Now, on the other hand, if you ever want to get into Kyosho mini Z's collection, you PM me.....

and probably another 40bucks off with a coupon

You can get Traxxas FC on ebay for $275 shipped. Sometimes bodies come up for $25 - $40 there too, you have to be quick!

[ray schrauwen]

Just hit go on a Courtney force body w/wing, etc.... $42 to florida... sorry it was his last one.

By the time I have the roller, body, next tires It's about $150 invested. Buy wheels last, next month. DONT buy the Aluminum Weld wheels as they have the same xo-1 tire skin over a plastic rim, most places air brush that out.
I've got my own motor, esc and servo. I'm sure there are a few bits like body mount and front bumper assembly still required but, those are small potatoes...

If you want the whole thing, $275 shipped: http://www.ebay.com/itm/390962632595...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Omni Models is a great seller!! I've done lot's of biz with them. Got my Pede there almost 4-years ago. Except for the name, pretty much everything else is Tower Hobbies. Packing slips are the same except for name, ship from the same warehouse's, heck even my customer ID is virtually the same.


To the OP, sorry guy, but I think your going to be hard pressed to find used but not abused used one that has the feature's your looking for. Think this is gonna be one of those times when you have to get a new one & fix it up your way.

If they are disco'ed, then the popular ones (Courtney & dad) will go first, followed by Robert then Mike. Neff basically filled in for Ash when she got pregnant, only ran what??... One or two years?? When Brit started racing, he became Heights crew chief.

Hey Guy, do me a favor, if you can't stand someone who owns a swimming pool, I urge you to put me on your ignore list.
This is a boat Forum, not a political Forum denouncing middle class people in America!!!

Good day!
