That and the Iveco 7.5T were always my favorite of all the TTTT trucks I have seen. I am not interested in buying it, but what would be a fair offer? $250? $300?

I never really noticed how tiny it really was!

fastboy · #3 07-08-2003, 06:06 PM

hehe..yeah its smaller than the unimog

yes somewhere around that price range would be great,its a cracking little truck and very reliable.

cheers

$250? thats kind of excessive in my opinion, but hey, i dont even have one, so i dont know.

You obviously haven't looked into TTTT very much. To build a truck with everything purchased new will cost you around $250 or more. The electronics are what is so expensive. Even a quality built 4x4 chassis will cost upwards of $200 (This is why it is best to build your own). I think $250 is an ABSOLUTE EXCELENT DEAL for fastboy's truck! His work is awesome!

Fastboy-- would you be willing to sell just the electronics?

fastboy · #7 07-10-2003, 05:30 PM

sorry,that would mean a total dissasemble of the truck and it just isnt worth it,but thanks for asking anyways.

No problem fastboy...Thanks for the reply!!!

:ö: race2c,

the electronics used on TTTT are the same electroinic used on indoor r/c airplane (smaller scale)... like the GWS R-4P reciever (4 channel FM reciever) and as for the electronic speed controller, you can use a servo electronic board by a simple mod of the board, or you can use rc plane esc but no reverse

, ask Arch2b, he knows where to get a good deal on these electronics

.

squeegee is right, if you can build your own truck, the better

.. the reason why this thing is priced like that is because of the intense labor and patience a very small r/c truck demands, like if you drop a small part of the truck, like a gear or something on the floor, this incident only can actually ruin your day and makes you feel like smashing this darn truck on the wall and asking yourself.. "why the f@¢K am i wasting my time on this tiny li'l $&!+!?"... then you see the pictures and videos posted here or at those TTTT german website..

if you don't mind me asking....why are you selling you tttt?

it's a remarkable truck! i love the shortened man 5t too.

i would like to move this thread to the tttt section as it has more to do with selling your tttt than showing it off here in the gallery

fastboy · #11 07-14-2003, 09:28 AM

well i need the cash hehe...i race 1/10th offroad at national level and im pretty strapped for cash at the moment,when i get my accident payout i will build another one

if you wanna move it to another section please do so.

fastboy,
you might consider posting a fs in the misc section on mzr as well...you could ask thorsten if there is a message boards over there you could post an ad to as well.

the difficulty is we(tttt fans) are involved in a very particular niche of the rc spectrum that has a price range that prohibits wide spread knowledge and demand for these amazing trucks. in otherwords, there is a small market for tttt's. i wish you the best of luck though and hope to see you back into the tttt building when you can.

good luck with your 1:10 racing.

ohhh, you might get more interest/hits by posting in the misc. section of tinyrc where member to member sales generally go....ask the mod there if you can a redirect or link to there so you don't have to double post or keep track of more than just this thread...just some ideas to get more attention!

i was just saying $250 was kinda expensive for something so small and because i spent $220 on my Emaxx which i could have alot more fun with.

killer · #14 07-14-2003, 10:03 PM

:ö: Ovgron, yes you are correct, driving an E-Maxx on a dirt lot is fun, but you can't drive it on top of your workbecnh without ruinning the area

... or amaze people that this itty bitty truck has proprotional control just like those 1/10 or bigger scale r/c

... but it's a matter of choice... you should see how much is the price of Elvis tooth on e-b@y

Ovgron,
People don't choose to build a TTTT for simply haveing more "fun" than running an Emaxx. I think most people build them to amaze other people, or prove to themselves that they can build something so small. You are entitled to your own opinion, but I think driving a scratch built truck around on your computer desk that has taken many ours to completely custom build yourself is a WHOLE LOT MORE FUN than driving a RTR Emaxx in my backyard. Don't get me wrong.......I'm sure Emaxxs are a blast, but where's the pride in knowing that it is completley custom built by yourself?
