I didn't keep track other than to realize buying Tmaxx parts to build one as a kit was expensive even off Ebay, but it would have been even more expensive buying all the parts someplace like Tower. I'd say savings was prob close to 50% too, but still way expensive.

The price of fun I guess, it was fun building it, lol!

I've compare ebays and other prices such as tower, ultimate etc. It all depends on what you buy and if it's in demand. But a savings of 1/3 is more acurrate.

The problem with ebay is you pay 15 bucks for the part but 10 bucks for shipping.

I used to pay like 1,70 for shipping from US to Italy because it used to be sent in a letter (like 3 week delivery) as it was all in small parts.

I'm thinking of getting T-Maxx 3.3 arms, turnbuckles, knuckles w/ bearings, and driveshafts on eBay. Should cost me about $60, but it'd allow me to have 3.3 suspension on my E-maxx and it'd save me a lot from normal price.
