Selling the TA05 as a) I rarely have time for it and b) it's the spare car - even though I spent a fair bit on it.

To give you an idea of costs, the body and wheels cost me $150+. Anyway I thought I'd list it here since some of you guys expressed interest in R/C's

id say 600? i bought my chassis brand new just rolling chassis all plastic no motor etc for 350 and then bodys are about 70-90 plus paint, wheels about 20-30 a pair plus tyres, radio is from about 100-(you can spend about 1500 but roughly 200) the brushless system is close to 400 and then plus all the upgrades and carbon bits.

im just curous... why did you convert the sus from IFS to normal vertical????

good luck with sale. i have a ta05 and consider them to be one of the best chassis i have ever ran, and that was without brushless. this thing would be an absolute beast!!!

normal front end is easier to tune. back to back some people seem to think the normal set up works better for drifting.

I actually got it like that but yeh I do prefer the way it is for drifting as it's easier to tune. It does drift well though that's for sure!

As calknowles said, I wouldn't mind the 500-600 region but I doubt I'll get that much. It's a bargain buy of $300 at the moment now.

I'll be posting it tomorrow. You'll just need to charge the battery when it arrives and add some AA's for the transmitter.

Kind of sad it went for so cheap :(
