    Depends on the condition and what it's worth to you of course, but I'd say no more than $150 if it's in very good condition and basically stock. I picked up one for a bit less with quite a few mods, but it needed some work like front and rear bulkheads replaced and a few other minor parts.

    I just picked up two more trucks. I paid $400 and they are both widemaxx trucks. The packaged came with enough spare parts that I can build a third rolling chassis and then some. One truck has bone stock electronics, the other has Wild Maxx Mod motors and a Hitech Metal Gear steering servo.

    I bought them from a guy I race against who whent to the new LMT, Losi Monster Truck (or paid for it anyway waiting for it to show up.)

    I'd figure a totally stock truck 2 years old would warrant somewhere from $100-$200, but it all depends on what shape it's in. You could have a truck that's been bashed for 2 years and all the bearing are in need of replacement. Or you could have a truck that has been well cared for and will run without any issues for another 2 years.

    I knew the history on my two new purchases. I would see the guy cleaning and lubing the bearings. I'd see him pull the pillow cups and clean the pillow balls at the end of a race day. I knew my trucks were in good shape.

    I got the stock truck as a back-up to my race rig, and I figure the truck with the Wild Maxx motors is heading to Ebay. I hope to get $250 for that truck. So, I guess I figured a good stock truck was worth about $150 to me.

    Hope this helps.

    I'd offer him $175 for the whole package. You're gonna end up getting better batteries and they are going to need a better charger, so the $25 you pay him for the current charg/batts will last you for a while. Once you find out about runtime and the differences you see with a good pack of 3300 7-cells, you'll throw that old charger and batts away.
