15% nitro is my cologne
Today was the local clubs rc auction. It's a place to buy and sell but it's also a chance to see all the people that you haven't seen since last season.
Anyway I usually come home with something. Last year I picked up a trex 450 for cheap, the year before I got a few beater airframes. This year though I scored big time.
I picked up a brand new JR 9303 new in package. The local hobby shop was clearing out old stock. It's been sitting on thier shelf for probably 5 years.
Here's a pic of the price tag still on the box.
There was four for sale all together. The first went for $125.00, the next $160, the third I bid the guy up to $180 before backing out. I got the last one for $100.00. The nicad battery is toast from sitting too long but I normally run life packs anyway.
I also picked up a new dynatron starter for $50.00 that's half price. These are one of the best starters out there. Especially since they'll handle a 5 cell lipo for power.
This was the best haul yet. I have a 9303 already on 2.4 so this one is a backup. I'm thinking of using this for fpv so I can use a cheaper 900mhz system.
