Hey guys, I’m brand new to the forum so I’m hoping I can get some advice from the pros. I’ve been lurking the forums while contemplating buying my first RC car. I’ve been mainly looking at crawlers on the smaller scale but came across what I thought was a great deal / winter project.
I wound up picking up a used 1:10 4wd Torment for $25 CAD. It’s missing a number of parts (mostly drivetrain related) that I was able to get a repair list from my LHS.
My questions are:
How much is it worth investing in this car ? Out of my list below is there anything that’s worth upgrading for someone who will be casually running this car ?
Parts Needed: $250 CAD
Driveshaft
Slipper Assembly
Chassis (Upper & Lower)
Gear Cover / Kickplate
Random Screws (very few)
Center Drive
Transmitter Radio
Motor Plate
Aside from that long laundry list I would also need to choose a battery / charger.
Is this even worth investing in? My Hobby shop said that I’m still ahead of the game considering they sell it new for $400 * tax CAD. But it doesn’t seem like I’m that far ahead.
