Newbie makes dumb purchase, what is it? T-maxx?
OK, so the young fella wanted a nitro truck, and I made a spontaneous bid on e-Bay, on what was listed as a t-maxx. But it doesn't look like any T-maxx I can find, and I ended up winning the auction. Item # 180720547070 , any help appreciated. (didn't pay a whole lot but hopefully won't regret the purchase).
Please PM or post any replies. Thanks, Vince |

Re: Newbie makes dumb purchase, what is it? T-maxx?
E-bay now forces sellers to put in shipping cost, which in itself is ridiculous, but if you put too little, buyers will pay as soon as they win and refuse to pay any more for shipping. I've been burned selling items before, and when buying I always request postage before paying, it is rarely close to what is listed. But yeah, I am curious what I am getting.
So no ideas? Maybe it is stamped on it somewhere? Vince |

Re: Newbie makes dumb purchase, what is it? T-maxx?
You sir are getting an XTM Mammoth.
Here's a couple of youtube videos to get a closer look (I'm not affiliated whatsoever): I personally would take the hit on my Ebay credibility and back out of this purchase. I too, like aceplant00, don't get a good feeling when I read the description. Also $143 to ship? That's worse than the best UPS's overnight option, yikes! I hate when Ebay sellers add other unrelated names in their ad descriptions to get more hits. I thought this practice was illegal? Unfortunately this one worked on you though. Regardless, good luck on however this plays out. Last edited by modelfan; 09-13-2011 at 10:25 PM. |

You could try to contact the seller and try to get him to allow you to withdraw from the deal.

Re: Newbie makes dumb purchase, what is it? T-maxx?
I dunno, if shipping seems reasonable it may not be so bad. Judging by this video it may be fairly tough.....

Shipping turned out to be $67 , I can usually make or adapt something else if needed. Most of the truck looks pretty simple. I don't abuse my gear too much so hopefully it will last a while. Vince |

Re: Newbie makes dumb purchase, what is it? T-maxx?
I would suggest getting rid of the AM radio with a nitro truck, or at the very least get a fail safe for it.
