From here I can ship USPS - No international shipping charges because I am on a military base over seas.
I posted it on Ebay forsale. 25 pounds is the starting bid. I put it along most of my RC stuff. I am selling everything I have except for my Hyper 7 - But trying to decide. I might let it go also.

RE: I want to see pics of your RC car/buggy/truck
I jus wanted something simple 
my stock TC body is trash so I need something that will hold up to a wreck, and something that will keep heat on the engine during the winter, which is why i hvaent cut any cooling holes on it. I really like the Peterbilt trucks thats a nice job you did there too! simple can be the best!

The Peterbuilt is something not everyone chooses. Most people do the pick-up trucks etc etc --- I wanted to do something different. I am glad it sold. Now I can do another.... 
I keep painting posting bodies on Ebay now. The Hyper 7 body I posted yesterday. I put it on Ebay and someone already put a bid on it also. [X(] Will be doing more bodies this week.

OK - went back a few posts, you mean when I posted I wanted 25 pounds for it?
Well it still does not close until Sunday - Right now it is at 46 pounds. The conversion rate changes daily. You go to your bank and look up the currency rate from pounds to american and then take the 46 pounds and multiply by what you bank say to convert it from.

That body is posted under my wife's Ebay alias - I have her post everything for me.
Go to auction # 3155051637 to see where I posted the body. When you look from the American Ebay it will tell you the American dollar value.

RE: I want to see pics of your RC car/buggy/truck
They know it is just the shell. Over here that $76 American is 46 English pounds.
I just sold my TMaxx for 255 pounds. The guy paid me cash tonight for it. It sells for 400 pounds brand new over here. Sometimes you can find it for 380 pounds.
Someone paying 46 for a body happens all the time in the US. A lot of times in the US you pay 50 - 75 for a good paint job. No different in paying 50 - 75 for a good paint job over here. But if you are buying from America and paying with American money, that currency conversion kills you. Well over here, they get paid in English pounds. So the 46 is just 46 - not 76 American.
Hope that makes sense.
I just checked the exchange rate. It is 1.72 American dollars equals 1 english pound. This changes daily. So today you take what ever you want to pay in english pounds and multiply it by 1.72 and that is the american dollar value you are paying.
When I go and pay 25 for 1 gallon of Nitro Fuel for my buggy, I am paying 43 American dollars. [X(] That is a lot. But you will pay 25 - 30 dollars for 25% Race blend nitro fuel in america.
That currency rate and kill you when you come and go on a vacation and go shopping. A lot of Americans come here and think 1 english pound is equal to 1 american dollar and they go on these shopping sprees thinking how cheap everything is. Then you throw in that conversion rate, that is why it is really way to expensive to live here. I love living here. But man it cost so bloody much....[

RE: I want to see pics of your RC car/buggy/truck
yeh, it makes sense,
I knew the cost of living is alot higher there, but I thought that that was still a little high
I guess for someone who's allready over there that might be a good deal when you factor in the higher cost of the blank body, paint, etc
I guess that's one more of the many things to be thankful for living in the good ol' USA
Also I thought when I first looked at it I thought you were selling whole buggy too
Most guys who sell bodies on ebay take pics of the body only to eliminate any confusion.
Anyway good luck, I hate those bidders with 0 feedbacks, ya never know

RE: I want to see pics of your RC car/buggy/truck
Yeah - thought of that. I already sold another body up there same way for Touring Car. Take pics with it on the car then put disclaimers throughout the auction.
As for putting th Dominator online - I like it and it has lots of power. I want to get the deluxe version that has all the aluminum and 2spd alreayd in it. I am selling everything I have except the Hyper 7 PBS - this one I am not sure about selling. I am getting some new stuff coming in and will be playing with it instead. I was thinking of selling my Hyper and getting the PCR Edition or the Pro kit. Not sure which one to get. We will see.
I sold 1 of the TMaxx's - Now that it is all hopped up - thinking of selling the other. The Dominator and both TC3's are listed on Ebay right now. Both of my sons Traxxas bandits will be going online. They are ready for something Nitro instead of electric. Thinking of getting them the MBX Pro or the 9.5 RTR. Have not decided.
So pretty much - I will be left with only 1 RC for a while unless we keep the TMaxx then I will be left with just 2. Who knows - After a while the same trucks and stuff all the time get boring and want new different models.

RE: I want to see pics of your RC car/buggy/truck
hmmm, never thought of putting any up on ebay, i just been doing my flame jobs for free for people, lol
maybe i should stop doing that?
hmmm, something to think about...
anyway, you might have already seen these, i got a couple new ones i hope to work on next week.
Until then if anyone still wants a free paint job, (you send me the supplies) then you can still get hooked up.
