keep it? sell it? part it out?
 
I'm a hobby shop owner but, sales are way down and I'm trying to decide if I wanna keep a store demo vehicle. Normally its not a hard decision. this time it is as I have a lot of work and money invested in this Caster F8T that started life as a RTR.

First the body has to go as it was cheap and chipped all up in no time. So I painted a new Jammin body for it. Then a dogbone tore off on a 4 s test run using a castle 2200kv system. So I put CVDs in the rear to go with the ones in the front. Then I bent the rear shock tower so I replaced it with a 7075 tower. Then I modified the battery boxes to accommodate some really long 3s battery holders. So on my first 6s test run a stock tire blew out. A 3 inch chunk of tire just blew out. I then went with hard rubber ProLine tires and rims. It has grease in the diffs instead of silicon and I dont have the time to put oil in but, if i did Id go with 50kwt. If you get on the throttle even a little too much it lifts up and flips over. Front end lifts that is.

I just ordered a new castle conversion kit for a Baja 5B roller that Ive got laying around. I have a ton of new parts and I was just procrastinating on the 5b build up. I'm gonna go with the build but I dunno if I'm gonna keep that either. I coulda sold everything off but it would be easier to sell the Baja 5b electric system. Even as a dealer some of these non maxamps batteries are hard to get.

Anyone have any ideas?

Should be easy to fix up the castor and sell it via the local store...

The Baja (if you have somewhere to run it) is a crowd pleaser and will bring people in to buy stuff...

sounds like an excellent plan. Thanks for the help!
