Yea, I am glad we could work things out without a full-on internet war as well, like seems to happen a lot on other forums. You are a very cool person, as well as very knowledgeable, and I respect you more than to just treat you like anything less than an equal.
Every day I kick myself in the butt for selling my VBS a while back (both Ti & Al skids, jounces, & bumpers), but at the time I needed the money...now I am looking for another nice VBS set to buy, but they are getting harder and harder to find. I know where a complete brand-new kit for sale is, with Ti skids, jounces, bumpers, Ti hinge-pins, 8-Spiders, and shim kit, I am just trying to convince myself to drop the major coin for it ($2,500, but everything is still NIP)!
The SM that the VBS will go on is a full-blown Aluminum G2 Gorillamaxx UE Supermaxx that is 99% complete, it just needs a Brushless ESC & Motor (Tekin RX8/T8-1700kV/6S LiPo), and 98% of the parts on the truck are either brand-new or so like-new that they look brand-new! All of the important parts are brand-new/like-new, such as the; G-Maxx G2 Chassis, UE Monoblock, UE 16mm Racer-X Suspension, UE Ti Pillow-Balls, UE Ti Hinge-Pins, UE Setbacks, UE Single-Shock Hi-Impacts, UE Ti 8mm CVDs, UE Aluminum Wheels, UE GenIV Servo-Saver (all 3 springs), UE Ultralites, UE 8-Spiders, GA 7075 Bulks & Braces, GA 12.9 Grade Blue Screw Kit, UE Knucklehead Shock Tower Kit, UE Supershocks (full spring set & motherlode), Strobe Slipper, Strobe Sprong, UE Steel 51T Spur, Strobe Limiters, GenIII Ultramaxxed/OTB Transmission Gears, G-Maxx Single-Speed Conversion, G-Maxx G1 Motor-Mount, FLM Aluminum Half-Case, Diemaker Dave Wing-Mount, Mugen MBX-5T Wing-Stay, JConcepts Wing, and Pro-Line Bow-Tie MTR Tires.
The HCR Ti Skidplates are in excellent condition, but they are used and do show some signs of wear (scratches on the bottom), but I think I can work on them and get them looking like-new pretty easily. If I get the VBS, though, I won't have to worry about it...heh!
After reading the parts list above, and the condition of said parts, you can probably understand why I am even considering spending the $2,500 on the brand-new VBS I found...the truck is almost completely brand-spanking new, so it deserves a brand-new VBS to truly be complete...right?
I also want another VBS, in any condition, as long as it isn't broken, to build a nice runner out of, or maybe even another full-blown brushless Supermaxx based on the UE Lightning EXT Chassis! I have always wanted a Lightning, and I have seen a couple come up for sale recently.
Man, I think I have too many projects going, and there's even more in my head...
