Hi guys, I'm new to the forums, wondering if you guys could give me some advice.
I saw an ad on Craigslist, and a guy pretty close to me is selling a 5t without a radio for 475$. First off, I should ask, is this a good price? Apparently it comes with a ton of extras and a "tuned pipe". He sent me pictures, and compared to my Savage X it looks to be in pretty darn good condition, except for a dent on the tuned pipe, that's all I could find though (In the pictures). If you guys can assure me that this is a pretty good deal I'll go take a look and try to bargain with him.
He insists that it's a real HPI, it has a few HPI badges here and there, and it has the same wheels as the HPI RTR kit. That's all I could tell from the photos, some info on the differences from the real HPI Baja's and the clones would be appreciated!
Now, I'm completely new to gas 2 stroke engines, looking to get into something a little bigger from my nitro RC's. What should I look for in how it runs to see if the engine is good?
Also, I have a few transmitters I could use, but what do I need to make them work on this truck? I have a Traxxas TQ1 (I believe), and a remote from an HPI Savage X 4.1 RTR kit.
Sorry to burden you guys with all of these questions guys, but I hope to become a regular member and use this site often, any help is GREATLY appreciated! Any of these questions answered would be great! Thanks!
