There is no doubt U.E. stuff is great. I have some on these trucks here. My big thing though is, It will be built from ebay used/new stuff. Getting the parts straight from U.E. is outrageous. I am willing to have 2.5k maybe a bit more in one. But the 5k it takes to get new is out for me !
There is a racer X suspension kit minus shock towers on ebay right now, $285 buy it now.

I have seen some real good deals on the BST forum on UE also, when I get more money saved up im gonna try to get a used 6 spyder kit for $120 or so.

My GOD, talk about disposable income.
But if you look at them as an investment....................., then think about the lost capital.
Maybe he builds them for the hell of it and has the money to do so? If i had a good amount of money sittin around, I would love to build a maxx sort of like the ones looker has. He says he has been into RC since '84, so he should know they don't have very good resale value. (supermaxx's and UE/Dace parts seem to be able to hold their value the most out of anything else)
