speedy_w_beans 4270 Posted August 16, 2020 For sale is my NIB TRF801X 1/8 scale buggy kit. This is the successor to Tamiya's TRF801Xt truggy kit and features several improvements in design and materials. Originally a nitro buggy kit, it is possible to convert these to electric with a third-party motor mount and a battery tray (see rc-monster.com). In terms of build experience and kit quality, please refer to my TRF801Xt build thread on the forum (https://www.tamiyaclub.com/forum/index.php?/topic/71892-speedys-trf801xt-build-thread/); everything is heavy-duty and ready for hard driving! There is one minor point I discovered while inspecting this kit prior to sale; the kit manual is missing pages. This looks like a printing/duplication error from the factory. I've downloaded and printed the complete manual so all instructions are included. The kit is presented as shown, price is $150 USD, shipping is extra, payment is accepted by PayPal. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mtbkym01 3946 Posted August 16, 2020 I think shipping this to Aus will kill my chance at this 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
speedy_w_beans 4270 Posted August 16, 2020 Per the USPS calculator, a 24" x 13" x 8" box weighing 10 lbs and insured for $150 will cost $102.60 to ship to Australia from the USA. If you think of it in terms of total cost ($250) vs. other 1/8 scale buggy options, maybe it's not that bad... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GTodd 1306 Posted August 17, 2020 Nice buy, and speedy nice job keeping the price reasonable. I hope whoever purchases this runs it. These are great cars that are still competitive today. Thankfully the goofy stuff in 1/10 hasn't translated over to 1/8 other than the ugly bodies. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
