Popular Post KORB Posted March 5, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 5, 2022 Longtime no comment. I thought I'd take a look at RCs on ebay and came across a ShenQi Hummer 30cc, I'm glad I was sitting down because the asking price of £450 + £9.82 P&P had me laughing and in shock that anyone would even embarrass themselves asking that much for an RC that is well dated as are the parts. It could have a 200cc engine fitted and it would still only be worth £4.50 including post and delivery . Then to add even more self humiliation the seller has also added in the description 'FG Marder Monster Truck Baja', come on, seriously! The most expensive part when new was the box it arrived in😳 🤣😎 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitroholic Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 It's possible to turn one into a reasonable truck.... all you need to do is replace the diff with an FG one, replace the diff mounts and motor mounts with same. Then replace the driveshafts, drive cups and hexes along with the wheels. Also replace the layshaft and the brake assembly while you are at it, as they woin;t fit the FG mounts. That sorts the back end. You might weant to replace the lower arms as they break. And the upper ones. Then perform a similar operation on the front to sort out the steering and replace all the servos if they are the stock ones. Lastly replace the shocks with ones that don;t leak. Oh...the engine and carb will be low rent clone ones...so....maybe swap them out. Makes the car OK apart from a bendy chassis and a brittle shell. I reckon with £500 thrown at it, it could be OK..... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
