Man, a gift for a 2nd grader? I was still pushing my trucks and tractors, on the floor, by hand at that age. Kids these days....

I remember the days when I thought that would be a lot of money to pour into an RC truck!!!

His asking price isn’t so outrageous :eek: With a quick search on Ebay, I found the following items that give the basic equipment to recreate the truck as he’s advertising:

Futaba 4GWD 4-Channel AM/2 S3004 Servos
US $129.99 + US $42.25 USPS Priority Mail = $172.24

Tamiya 56314 1/14 Knight Hauler Kit
US $379.95 + FREE Standard Shipping = $379.95

Tamiya 1/14 Semi Tractor Truck Multi-Function Control Unit - 56511
US $338.77 + FREE Standard Shipping = $338.77

Add-on for Tamiya 1/14 Semi Tractor headache Aluminum Rack
US $65.00 + $9.95 Standard Shipping = $ 74.95

Custom Aluminum Polished Front Bumper for Tamiya 1/14 Semi-Truck
US $29.99 + $4.95 Standard Shipping = $ 34.94

RC VSC 320A Brushed Speed Control ESC for 1/14 Truck-Rock Crawler
US $26.13 + FREE Standard = $ 26.13

Tamiya 56302 1/14 Semi Trailer Kit
US $287.95 + FREE Standard Shipping = $287.95

Tamiya 1/14 Motorized Support Legs Tractor Trailer 56505
US $75.99 + FREE Economy Shipping = $ 75.99

1/14 Semi-Trailer Light Set 56502
US $38.78 + FREE Standard Shipping = $ 38.78

Total: $1,429.70

This list doesn’t include the extra lights mounted. Any batteries or chargers would also be an extra cost :p

With a price of $1,400 and S&H of $100, it’s not too bad for a RTR truck for a beginner or a piece to modify :)

I have to agree with RCT. It might have cost that much to put together, but that is not the kind of price a second, or third hand, truck market will support. My guess....it might be worth half that, used. No one gets rich selling these models!

I never said it was a GREAT BUY,:eek: I just pointed out that your not getting short changed in the deal ;)

It is unfortunate that this guy paid $1800 for it to start with, but it was never worth that much. He was ripped and just wants some of his money back.

I figure that it's worth about $1200 (ride included in the states) at best, for everything offered in the condition shown in the photo's :p :p

As always, Buyer Beware :eek: :p :eek: :p :eek:

I didn't say that either, nor did I mean to imply one way or the other! :D Just commented that I don't think the market will support what he wants to get for that truck. Like they say....I know, that you, that I know, I didn't say it was a good buy either. :D

Seeing the glass painted the body color, epoxied air stacks (they look crooked), and some of the cheezy lights on it (what can be seen from the pics shown).. how much of this trk has been butchered together? ..I wonder :rolleyes:

For $1800, a trk should be assembled with better quality.. ppl don't know what they're buying, just spending foolishly.. they deserve the bath they took & this guy is wet till the next sucker that come along & believes the sellers testiment of a $400 savings.
