I recon I've got a bit of a bargain here. Just picked up a HURRAX Cryton off a mate.  He picked it up off flebay last year secondhand, he cleaned it up, polished the alloy, and had it looking Propper good he did!
He put in a pair of new HiTec 5755 servo's and took it out on the track, did half a lap, landed it heavy and snapped the end off the center diff/spool.  He took it home, took the engine out to go in his Baja and stuck the Hurrax in the garage.

So I he asked for £85 for the rolling chassis, including the 2.4 radio, and £25 for the pair of as new Hitec servo's. I didnt beat him down, I just paid the man! He just wanted rid.
With the broken Spool costing about £15 to replace from Germany, all I have to do is straighten a couple of bits of alloy, stick in one of my engines and a throttle servo and she will be ready for the track   £125 for a very pretty car!...... Well I think its pretty under the shell anyway!

With the shaft driven 4WD and the central spur gear, I reckon it would be a perfect contender for a Brushless makeover!


Or maybe I shouldn't say that on here!!!!! :whistling:
