Default Does this seem like a good deal?

This Helicopter

Raptor 30v2 full ball bearing with TT .39 engine
Futaba 9CHP controller with CAMPAC - Channel 5 amateur band
Futaba R1490P receiver – PCM
Futaba GY401 gyro with S9253 servo
Futaba S9001 servos
Header Tank
Upgraded muffler
Tail boom servo mount, never used still in the package.
Hobbico Torqmaster starter
All manuals and factory charger for heli and radio.
Custom remote glow
All batteries included, except for start battery. Can be included, but it’s heavy.

Also included is a copy of Real Flight light, a great training aid to get started. I will also include a copy of Ray’s Authoritative Helicopter Guide, a great resource.

Engine was rebuilt this year with new piston ring, and carburetor was taken apart and cleaned out. Only about 4 gallons run thru since the heli was first built.

Helicopter is in perfect running condition. Never got to do any 3D. It flies wonderfully and can easily be setup for full 3D flight. It has been custom striped with auto striping which can easily be removed. Never got much past basic flight. Moving onto other hobbies.

Included with this is a metal case with custom cutout for the controller, starter, custom glow lighter and battery for the starter.

The only damage is to the canopy where the mounting clip is, there is a small crack, it is concealed and on the bottom of the canopy. This heli was crashed twice, and fully restored each time. Both happened while training. The receiver was sent to Futaba for a once over after the second crash and they repaired a cracked capacitor and also tuned the unit. Some spare parts also included, leftover’s from crash kit that were not neaded.

Ready to fly, just charge batteries, add fuel and fire it up.


For these cars?

2 Kyosho USA-1 4WD 1/8 scale monster trucks: 1 is complete with full bearing kit, OS21 engine, servos, receiver battery...the other is a complete rolling chassis. I have some spare parts for them also (shock springs, valves, clutches, ect...I think I have a couple spare bodies also).

Custom Ofna Ultra GT 4WD 1/8 scale buggy which is converted to a monster truck. It also has full bearing kit, OS21 engine, servos receiver battery and original buggy wheels tires if you wanted to convert it back.

Serpent Impact 1/10 scale pan car complete with 2 speed trans, .15 engine, servos, receiver battery, spare wheels, bodies.

Ofna Pirate 1/10 scale 4WD car/buggy complete with servos and receiver battery. It is set-up as a 4WD Camaro street car right now, but it can be converted back to a buggy also.

There are also some spare suspension parts for the Kyosho and Ofna....plus anything else related to them I may have in the hobby box such as shock oil, grease, bearings, bushings, etc.. Almost forgot I also have a 5 port Ofna21 racing engine you can have....it had very little run time on it.

All engines have been stored with after-run oil in them and none of the engines have more than a gallon of fuel trough them. There is also a spare OS21 that has a bad connecting rod, but good crankcase, head, carb, etc.

Sounds good to me. Who is getting what, are you getting the heli, or are you getting the cars?

It sounds like a pretty fair deal. If it was my heli I was about to trade, I'd want to see several pics of the cars to make sure they aren't trashed first. But like I said, on the surface, the deal is about right.
