Aventador2004 Posted August 20, 2017 Posted August 20, 2017 (edited) Sorry if this goes somewhere else, but I have a question for buggy motor owners. Do you think $100 is a good price for 2 buggy motors, a rc unit, controller, rc unit suspension, and cables, is a good price? And @mocbuild101, @Marxpek, @jam8280, and @TechnicSummse, you may have a new challenger soon... If I get the lot... Edited August 20, 2017 by Aventador2004 Quote
TechnicSummse Posted August 20, 2017 Posted August 20, 2017 Hmm... the price is ok i think. I was allways looking for bargains... got my first 8366 for 65€ including shipping and my latest one now with box for 70€ incl. shipping. My 2 motors i got ~20€ each including shipping. But i have to say, that i was looking for one of the 3 sets (8366,8376,8475) now for about half a year to find such a prize. but i also missed 2 ebay-auctions, where they were sold for 55-60€+ shipping. Is it the rc-unit with auxilarry-output? You could send me a personal message with a picture or link maybe... i wont steal your offer... got enough rc-stuff now :D Quote
Beck Posted August 20, 2017 Posted August 20, 2017 About seven years ago I bought two buggy motors for $25 each, which at the time was still a great deal. To me, your deal seems too good to be true. If you can, I would test to make sure everything works before you hand over the cash. Quote
Leonardo da Bricki Posted August 20, 2017 Posted August 20, 2017 Seems like a good deal, but make sure everything works/has been tested BEFORE you pay. Otherwise, it will be for nothing. Quote
TechnicRCRacer Posted August 20, 2017 Posted August 20, 2017 Pretty good deal, got an 8366 for $50. TEST IT! I cannot emphasize enough! This happened to me with several micromotors Quote

I can pm you it, I trust you. The output all the way at the back is covered by cables. The second output is grey, so I think it is a auxiliary unit. 1 hour ago, Beck said: About seven years ago I bought two buggy motors for $25 each, which at the time was still a great deal.

jam8280 Posted August 20, 2017 Posted August 20, 2017 If everything really works, that's a fantastic bargain! Heck, if only one motor works, it's still a good deal. Quote

mocbuild101 Posted August 21, 2017 Posted August 21, 2017 (edited) I got 2 motors for $51, and a complete Hot Flame set for $68. (which I was very happy about! ) So I'd say yes, go for it! If you work it out, it's $25 for each motor, $30 for the RC unit, and another $20 for the controller and everything else - which is really cheap! And with it working, that's even better! If it was in Australia, I would definitely buy it! (I don't have enough RC yet... ) Edited August 21, 2017 by mocbuild101 Quote

The rc unit itself is 69$ here, so it is a great deal where I live. This is the picture of the stuff. I offered him 70$, because no one else bidded. Edited August 21, 2017 by Aventador2004 Quote

A note, thanks everyone for advising me on this, by due to some of those people who bid at last second, I did not get the buggy motors. I will wait to find a cheaper set. I also do not need a auxiliary output. Quote
mocbuild101 Posted August 22, 2017 Posted August 22, 2017 Oh well, better luck next time - it took me three lost bids to get mine! 1 hour ago, Aventador2004 said: I also do not need a auxiliary output That's the same thing I thought before I got my RC unit, but now I regret not getting one with a auxiliary output - it would be most useful for remotely changing gears in a gearbox!

I also only have one old motor, the 246rpm one. Quote
