Find out what all needs to be replaced, see what he will sell it to you, and price out the repairs. From there, it will be easier to make a decision.

A revo is a good choice, most people are happy with them as monster trucks.
Like new guy said though, if its missing alot of parts then it may not be cost effective to put back together, or you may be discouraged at all of the parts you might have to buy. Best thing to do would be to get him to do a inventory with pictures.
If you have questions you can post them here on chitown and those more familiar with Revo's may be able to tell you what you are missing and what it might cost to put it backtogether before you buy it.

ok i guess i need 50 bucks then hes going to buy the plate thing thats underneth it but its tie-ta-knee-um (sorry suck at spelling) and then like 150 to slap it together
plus think but not sure need to get new rims/tires don't match
need some help - AddictedtoNITRO - 03-20-2007
that plate thing is a chassis. If it was bent make sure nothing else is. Hinge pins, steering assembly etc. I know what breaks I have broke mine more times than you can count.
35mph into a curb head on - yep
40mph into a tree head on - yep
15 feet in the air upside down onto a tree stump - yep
30-35 mph into a culvert head on - yep
needless to say I know how to fix them
If you have any q's pm me

I would just get a 3.3 maxx chassis. They are really strong. Heard bad things about ti. or check out the predator chassis-- the best thing since sliced bread

Tmaxx vs LSP = LSP owns.
I've seen a Nitro 4tec 3.3 go head on against a 1/8th scale buggy, that was worse. The 4tec just exploded, parts went EVERYWHERE. We found a wheel, and several pieces of the gas tank about 40 feet from the wreck.
When the 4tec hit the buggy the 4tec got stopped dead in its tracks. Didn't bend the chassis but everything else was gone.
I had a Tmaxx, it was terrible. 3ft jumps would crack front bulk heads. I don't regret selling that POS for $25.
Was much happier with my 1/8th scale buggies. Whack a tree, buggy wins.

haha yea I finally got mine so It dosn't break much anymore.rpm arms, ancnc bulks 3.3 chassis, alum skids, servo guard, chassis braces and a trashed ass roll cage. now it just rips screw off lol.
oh and I already had the lsp 15 feet in the air...lands quite gracefully lol

to think about it though I've seen more runaway maxxes by far then any other vehicle. anyone know why? maybe because a lot of new people get them and don't know about failsafes yet? idk
