    Thanks again Tyler, I'm not sure if I told you but the rear drives you sold me worked out great, thanks again for hooking the me up. I'm really reading to pull the trigger on that stuff rock bottom has for sale,but I don't want it to be one of those things where I get it and then realize a couple weeks later that theres something out there thats way nicer and about the same price. Like when you first get into boats no offense Tyler and buy a Spartan and then get a hold of this great forum to find out there's a lot of better boats out there, and are reasonably priced compared to the rtr boats

      I bought a Funny Car body from him that was listed, I got notice this morning that it was shipped, then in the late afternoon eBay informed me the seller cancelled my order because he is out of stock on the body...

          WELL, I appreciate his promptness in refunding though. Ordered another one ( AAA Themed) from his list, but won't know until I get it this time, may still be the same....

                Hey guys I found the Courtney force black funny car for sale and the guy, wants 220 for it. The seller sent over pics the car looks like it's been pretty well taken care of, the body's not all scratched and torn up like I've seen others. it comes rtr. Do you guys think it's a decent deal? I'm kind of worried that I'll get it loose interest in a couple of weeks, and end up selling it, It's acceptable to take a small loss selling Rc stuff I'm just tired of loosing hundreds on it.

                  I don't know man, I've been in that boat too many times myself...
                  I am sick anyway, so don't take it from me---the thing with these "unique" products is not that how long or how quickly I lose interest in them that makes me pull the trigger. I have banged my head against the wall too many times when they are discontinued and are no longer available. It seems to me that it is always at that stage that I wish I had bought one earlier...
                  This may sound crazy.....
                  As for the deal you found, hard for me to say, it's personal, at this point it is easier for me to deal with Tower's three payment plan. But that is just me.
                  Whatever you decide, good luck and have fun!
                  Oh, BTW, I bought an "AAA" themed body, this time the seller ( same one ) didn't send a notice that he is out of stock, so I hope it will be delivered soon.

                    I started this project for both a shelf queen and a fun thing to take here and there and maybe find another person with one to goof with. I bought a tamiya Bruiser in 91 and they were about $250.00 . I sold it maybe a decade later before I owned a computer to see its value on eBay etc.. I lost bad on that deal later when I got on line. Maybe this will go the same way as both were kind of unique and more scale than multi function. The bruiser was too heavy, top heavy and you needed to slow down or stop to change gears.

                      The black body I bought never appeared even though the tracking on eBay is correct and shows delivered on Feb. 23. What would you guys do with the seller? I talked to him on phone, seems like straight shooter. Any suggestions on how I can try to recoup my loss? It was shipped from Fl. To Fl. The other body, from other seller Rock bottom rc, green John Force arrived yesterday, with bumper assm. Included.

                        Sorry to hear that Ray.
                        I have no experience as yet to file complaint, may be someone can chime in. Is it like PayPal protection?

                          Hey Ray sorry to read about the shipping problems with that seller, hopefully it finally showed up. I ended up finding a car but it has the black and blue Ashley force body. I'd really like to find a John force green body. I've been going through eBay trying to find a link to ask the seller if he has more, but so far I can't figure out a way to get ahold of him again. I know you just bought that green body, but if you ever consider selling it I'd be interested in buying it. Thanks!!!

                            Actually, it turned up in the Garage! Just keep a tab on the seller rockbottomrc and he will eventually have more for sale I would think.

                            I don't think I would sell the green one, it's for shelf use only. I don't mind beating up on Courtney Force though :) lol...

                              Well, my AAA body just came, brand new as described, couldn't be happier. Thanks much Ray for the link!
                              Took a few shots to see how it will marry to my ERA frame.

                              What do you guys think? I know it is far from the true scale look of a Traxxas chassis but mine sat in my garage for 4 and half years without a body. I forgot the whole thing had I not seen this thread....

                                That's a cool chassis. Is the front bumper not allowing you to lower the front end, making you keep the body a little higher?

                                Looks like a blue Feigao in there and a Castle esc. I think I see a brake too, one thing the traxxas doesn't have. I was thinking maybe a parachute on CH3.
