Savages are nice!

I just have an old Tamiya Thundershot (the 1/10 4wd self asemble one, not the little QD thingy) which hardly has any original components left after a huge amount of upgrading

Chasis is cracked at the moment unfortunately.

Mike - how much?

...err, which bit

1.0 First of all you'd have to tell me which buggy you're interested in, the newer incomplete Mugen or the older (better) MP777. You must also understand that I purchased the MP777 as a basic kit and pumped close to £1000 in mods taking it to SP1+.

Here's a short description I posted else where,

--Kyosho MP777
This is highly modded, almost £1000 in mods, braces, quad caddocks, CF tray, towers, hex machines screws, Vantage pipe (worth £50).

I'm also throwing quite a few hop-ups I've not gotten around to install and other bits like a new set of throttle links etc etc. This buggy is SP1+ tbh. Two different lids, one's custom painted by TJ (imbroken), crimes and badlands...

There's quite a bit missing in this desc.

--Mugen MBX5 ProSpec, with fioroni chassis
This is a roller, and I've gotten the chassis finished but the rest of the construction is still in the bags with the manuals etc. I have the original mugen bag.

For this I've got a brand new Rossi P5X (in the box), Rossi Pipe, full set of tony's screws and lots more. The lid is currently with TJ who's painting it in his spare time.

--Misc (lots of stuff) + Spectrum Pro receiver

2.0 Even with all this we know that RCs do depreciate quite a bit, so with that in mind,

Mugen MBX5 ProSpec, roller (part bags, manuals, chassis only) - ~£450
Kyosho MP777 SP1+ (roller, manuals, chassis + tons of hop ups in part bags, buggy worth £1.5k) - ~£600
Vantage Pipe (low-midend) - £50
Novarossi Tuned Pipe - £45
Novarossi P5X - £150, this is unused, brand new with ARO inside to preserve it.
Airtronics 94358Z ERG-VB Hi-Speed/Hi-Torque 200 oz/in + Airtronics 94758Z Competition Digital Hi-Spd/Torq Servo, ~£150
Spektrum SR3001 DSM Pro 3CH Receiver: Surface (SPM1205), ~£65
+++ shipping via DHL (insured and trackable).

Cheaper, 'registered airmail' for small items only, not insured and I am not liable in any way for losses/delays.

..also for the mp777 I have a few 'replacement' part bags - so you'll end up getting alot more. I have a pretty crazy oil collection too (shocks, diffs, etc etc)...so you'll be getting a lot more than I could list. Only the 'big' bits I've listed price wise, and I'm throwing in the lids for free etc. These are pro-racing buggies, the mp777 has been the IFMAR/World Champion many times with the ProSpec in there as well.

lmk if interested

CEN do good starter kits, they come with everything you need to get started minus batteries and fuel. I had a WRC Focus and it cost £180, only thing is they are pretty much ready to run, the engine and gearing etc is all pre-installed, all you get to do is build the suspension, spray the body and put on the wheels. It was very fast, 4WD and strong. Not the best petrol you can get but was as good as any HPI I have seen, even had a full metal chassis. But as I was saying not that great if you want to build up from sctratch (although you could take it all apart and rebuild it as it comes with the instructions for complete assembly)
