Tips on buying used, and selling, RCs

Check out Squirrels forum! forums.thetoyz.com This video is on how to buy a used RC and what to look for. I also give sellers tips. The buying side allows the buyer to analyze the important parts on a RC kit that determine the net value of the kit. On the selling side, I show how to increase the price paid and how to value add a kit

    Seal the engine. I have a vid on how to check for seals and how to seal them.

    Tune the engine. You should have a thin trail of smoke out the pipe at wide open throttle.

    Ensure that the fuel line and tanks are sealed. You cannot have air going through them.

    Ensure that your slipper clutch is set right (tighten it all the way down then back off 1/4 to 1/8th turn).

    Ensure that there is no binding in the drive line.

    nice car kind is it

  12. marinjeam says:

    My advice, buy only almost new or very short used rc cars, you don,t want to end up replacing worn out bearings, shocks, engines etc etc, In short : squirrelod is wright !

  13. Squirrelod says:

    Life span depends on break in, tuning, and numerous other factors.

    If you are leaking out of the bearing then you could have an air leak. You will want to watch my video on how to detect air leaks.

    So I have a Revo 3.3 its about 6 months old and iv ran just over a gallon of fuel, i bought it new, and its my first nitro, sooo i havnt taken the best care of it but im not too bad, how much life should i expect and how long do they usly last? and should there be oil coming from the fron crank bering?

    thank

  17. Squirrelod says:

    I did a 4 part video series comparing that Exceed to a Himoto. You might want to check it out. It will answer your question and also give you some perspectives on picking a kit for the future.

    Cheers!
    Squirrel

  18. Plumber994 says:

    i’m thinking about buying a new Exceed Hyper Speed Beginner’s Version and i am not sure about it, so can you give me you opinion of the buggy. thanks

  19. Squirrelod says:

    Well hello DENISE,

    I think that alot would disagree on the revo and jato lines. But, if you can point me towards an RC that DOES NOT need upgrades then I would love to see it.

    Oh shit… did that MBX come with the nova rossi?

    Wait… you had to buy that separately as well?

    As with other stuff too???

    AND the Traxxas stuff vs a racer truggy is like apples to oranges….

    then how can you compare???

    I get it… another disgruntled guy on YT. Got it! ;)

  20. denise7823 says:

    traxxas sucks,weak diffs,crappy bearings,crappy shocks,crooked driveshafts,worst engines on the market.mbx-6+novarossi=win,get it,got it,good.

  21. ryno420666 says:

  22. arsenakfreakguy says:

  23. Squirrelod says:

    Its brand new right?It doesnt matter where a kit comes from.

  24. arsenakfreakguy says:

  25. arsenakfreakguy says:
