R/c Swap Meet Finds

[Shodog]

Yesterday I went to an annual R/C swap meet hosted by a Hobby Shop in Sacremento California that's wildly popular. I have been going for a three years now and eventhough the swap meet is geared more towards planes and Helicopters I have found quite a few cars there. I got there about 5:15 am and it was still pitch black out but the place was packed with guys with flashlights. I overheard sellers were setting up at 200 AM and sales were taking place then.

In addition to a bunch of radio gear and some tires I got a

Sand Scorcher for $200 http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.a...74271&id=34

Super Champ for $100 http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.a...74272&id=34

America's always got the wow factor LOL.

$200 for a Scorcher... I wonder what were the prices for a BlackFoot truck, ten bucks for one with the original box??
