Yeah pray and hope that you can find a deal for a stock used one. Otherwise its going to be a bit hard. But I bet you can find it.

If you want I can give you a suggestion on where you can go and what you can do outside of ebay. I just did this and got quite a good response and just picked up a new touring car electric for ultra cheap.

Here's one on sale for $170, but it's more of a buggy than a truck...

There are still required stuff you have to buy. Transmiter isn't listed in either the features or the required components, so you probably need one too and RC's are pretty expensive. Can't you buy with the money you have now, and like save up for the other remaining or just save a lil more and get a better truck?

Just some advice....be careful with used nitro vehicles because many times the engine is shot because someone didn't know how to tune it right and they burned it up.

Don't buy someone elses headache......

I have seen it a million times come into our store....."I bought this off the internet and it won't run" 9 times out of 10 it is the engine being worn out.

Try Ebay, it will offer you the best selection of used stuff if you plan on going that way.

If you are looking for a new truck, give us a call and I can offer you free shipping if you mention you seen us on superhonda.com! Speak with me direct and I can make you that offer.
