ya it can be for sure but parts are a lot cheaper to replace than most quad parts.
the revo is awesome! and the 3.3 engine is fast! and very easy to tune. im glad i bought it.
my brother has one of those crawlers. he has the Losi mini crawler. its a lot of fun to mess around with.

My son and both have the E-Maxx. Not the new waterproof ones though. But the will boyh fly and run over almost anything. R/C is a good fun way to spend time when not riding our atvs.

An RC Rock Crawler. I never thought of going in that direction, but it makes sense. That's cool beans.

I have a Traxxas Nitro that took a header into a curb and broke the front end into many, many pieces. I just haven't gotten around to putting it back together.

I have a 2.5 T-Maxx..

Never could make it run right.. This makes me want to get it out and try again though! :devil:

Id be willing to sell it, along with EVERYTHING that goes with it.. (extra glow plugs, half gallon of nitro, tools, etc.)

To the guy with the Mini-T, how quick are they stock? Im thinking about getting one withtin the month. That or a full size electric buggy.:)

Trying for $300.

Ive been out of the hobby for a LONG time, so I dont know how much its really worth.

The TMAXX itself has maybe 4 hours on a new 2.5 engine, and comes with a half gallon of nitro, the controler, starter, and everything else that came with it.

Also extra plugs, tools, etc.
