Any love for the MBX4??

[FreeRideFrosty]

My buddy has one. Just wondering if they are still raced at all, parts available, worth anything?? You know. Parts compatible with the MBX5? Good price for a roller?

Thanks.

Mad love for the MBX4...maybe not the greatest racer anymore but you saw it bash!!

[FreeRideFrosty]

Whats it worth as a roller??

[Obsessive R/C]

Depends on the condition...seems like they were on Ebay for $100-$125 or even more, but I haven't seen them around too much lately. Alot of MBX-5 parts interchange, but you may find arms getting hard to find. I was going to try modding the 5 arms to fit but never got around to it.

Is it a XR or anything?

I found a RR XR roller for $130 (just to give you an idea)

[FreeRideFrosty]

Good shape. Not great.... but not bad. Everything working, nothing stripped. Includes extras of just about everything, wheels, and tires.

But I think I may get more use out of a pool cue....... LoL I still don't know what I want to do reguardingthis RC thing. I could get at most 3 races in before college......

[Obsessive R/C]

Just buy it ...put it all together...race it...then sell it to me for half of what you put into it when you leave for school.

[FreeRideFrosty]

Oh you funny guy you. I am still weighing options to see if it worth it for me to get back into it right now. At first I really wanted to but I have a little less than a month before I go away to school. I have the buggy Tune offered me, and then I was offered a really good deal on the MBX4, nice steering servo, pretty good throttle servo, and a reciever pack. I would just need a motor for a fairly raceable vehicle, lots of spares, and wheels and tires. Or I can save the money from getting into racing, buy a pool cue, tank setup, and snake that I can take to college. I don't know. If I thought I could get $200-$250 for the RTR MBX4 in 3 or 4 weeks I could let that money out temporarily, but that is not guaranteed. If I could get the Storm ASAP, get it fairly raceable, and then either keep it or sell it for close to what I put into it then that would work. I don't know though seeing that I don't have a ride to the track for the next week and a half or so. That leaves 2 race days at most that I can run. I don't know if it is worth it the more I think of it.......

LMFAO!!!!!


Dan.. I realy dont know what your debating other cars for.... Ya know tune gave you that deal because he felt sorry for you after that sob story you told ....
If i were him id tell ya to get bent... My 2.00 dollars

[FreeRideFrosty]

Read what I just posted man. I think it explains it well. I can't afford to lose that money. I just can't. I was mostly just asking. I never meant to come accross as you obviously think that I have. Not my intent and my apologies. Just saying what I was offered and asking out of curiosity what it was worth. ORC was making a joke referring back to my revo......

[FreeRideFrosty]

And before you jump on me for saying selling the storm.... that would be if I didn't stay back in it during college. It would be offered back to Tune or someone else in my position for cheap. That is all. Hope I didn't give the wrong notion to anyone.....

[rocco79]

Wow! Those post were made at the same time!

Dan i know your not tryin to be a d*ck... It just seemed alittle jerkish to me to thats all... Of course im for myself not tune.

If i were you, id buy the cheap toy car... And save my cash for the snake and pool cue. Cuz getting that much for a 3 model old buggy i think is dreaming

[FreeRideFrosty]

Indeed.

Hey now K2's (buggies) are still decent, Cory was kicking all forms of SP2 ass with one not too long ago.....lol

MBX4, I was gunna say....If you can snag one for about the same deal as Tune's, I'd grab it over the storm. IMO

[Tex]

ok, maybe the K2 thing was exagerating a bit but he did kick ass more than a couple times...

[rocco79]

LOL! I know a good driver could win with one of those Hobbytown brand buggies... But theres no resale, Like dans lookin for ...

[FreeRideFrosty]

With a deal like Tunes, I don't need resale. That would be a "you sold it to me for $75, would you like it back for $60?" or pass it on to another racer who needs in for $75. I could pick up the roller MBX4 if I wanted with a lot of extras, really good servos, reciever pack, wheels and tires, add a radio I have, and all I would need is a motor. I could get that though for $150 before the motor. Add a $100 OS RG and that is $250. I would like to get about $200-$2XX back for it. It is not guaranteed though so I can't spend that much. You guys understand what I am saying??

[rocco79]

I totally agree dan... Thats what i was tryin too say!

[Obsessive R/C]

K2's are still bringing in a decent buck on resale too...good parts support also, whereas the MBX-4 has limited parts avalible since it's not in production anymore...alot of parts still fit from the 5 like out drives, diffs, cvd's, etc. but things like arms and knuckles are getting hard to find.

[Obsessive R/C]

(I just like messin' with his head)

[rocco79]

lol!!! hard to bash if you cant get arms huh?

[FreeRideFrosty]

Is that a pool cue or a snake??

[rocco79]

both!

[FreeRideFrosty]

LMFAO!!! And it flies!! I think I may have suffered brain damage. Anyone like to play pool?? It doesn't take batteries or nitro fuel.... or burn up glow plugs.....

[rocco79]

I used to play almost nightly... When i was like 19 -20 yo... You could play for hours for like 4 dollars and hang out all night. Lots of broads in there too!
