burakol 462 Posted November 27, 2020 As the title goes, does anyone know the current value of a technigold and a Technipower? I might be able to source one or both, but I don't know what is a reasonable price for it. It will be used and ran sparingly.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MICHAELs TopForce17 586 Posted November 27, 2020 Cool go for it. For value depending on how used it is and how much you want to spend i will say 30 to 70usd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the response. So about 50 each would be reasonable? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moffman 5752 Posted November 27, 2020 Yeah a good used one with a good condition can and decal is anything from £30-70 mind you I paid £90 for a boxed one years ago and I thought that was a lot but it had the original price sticker on it £29.99 from Beattie's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

burakol 462 Posted November 28, 2020 Nope..here in the US...may I know why? Seller said he can also throw in 2 red sprint motors... I dont really have a use for it besides nostalgia... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
svenb 3778 Posted November 28, 2020 Ive seen one for sale in Italy without a photo of the motor sticker! I a bit suspicious that it's a none tamiya Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
burakol 462 Posted November 28, 2020 Here the photo. Do notice that the top/front cover housing of the "assumed" technigold motor is not black but painted to match the motor housing, whereas the Technipower has the black front/top cover... Seller will also throw in two red sprint motor for his asking price... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
svenb 3778 Posted November 28, 2020 Yeah doesn't look very "gold" does it! Sprint motors are nice new to collect but a bit lacking compared to more modern motors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

svenb 3778 Posted November 28, 2020 Technipower looks pretty good though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I do still have 3 17.5t brushless waiting to be used... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
