I just painted my 230 camo. Ill have some more pictures tomorrow. It even got a custom hand painted barb wire done on it. Check out my garage to see pictures. This winter she is going under a rebuild.

 

Well gents the Mistress went to a new home. She sold for $900. My craigslist ad did more help than ebay. who woulda thought that CL would out do eBay?

I ended up paying off some bills and got a $600 Nitro rc truck for $175. And i even bought another 230s for $100, all factory original, i think it needs a clutch and some electrical work but it was a good deal. The plastics dont have any cracks anywhere and all the bearings are tight, so i think i made out pretty good.

i might restore it to factory colors and make it show room new.

 

Glad to see your back, keep us updated on the progress of your new 230.

 

congrats on the sale and on the purchase, too!

 

Its a shame you couldn't get more, but hey, its money in the bank!

 

Congrats! I am in the prosses of restoring my rc car so i know how much they can be.

 

i ended up getting a 3.3 Traxxas Revo, so i think i got a good deal on it. The new 230 project is on hold for at least 10 months. After building them non stop for the last 3 years, this ol boy needs a break. I think i might take some time and enjoy my new toys for a while. I got the nitro truck and an RC plane to goof off with. And to top it all off a real plane to go fly and finish my pilots liscence. Hopefully this time my eyes will pass the test unlike last time i had my flight physical and had a touch of welders flash.

But i am not back in the big thread yet. I might check in once a week to see if there's any new people on, but thats about it.

later y'all

 

What's the best price w/shipping on a full gasket kit?

 

Quick question- Should the steering shaft have a bend in it? Or should it be straight? Mine has a bend backwards just above the top mount. The parts drawings don't show a good view of the shaft.

 

Anyone?
