RC car experts help!!

[brucer]

hey all, just got given an RC car and have no intention on keeping it. its a fair few years old and wandered if any RC car experts can give me a price on how much its worth, if anything.

have been told it did run but dont have the remote to try it.

Not a lot im afraid, Mate bought a fully working RC Speedboat at my local bootsale with all the radio gear for a tenner !

Yours seems to have no electronic speed controller or upgraded motor and just a basic battery so about a fiver im afraid....not bad for a freebie thou !

wasnt expecting much tbh. will fund chip day at work though.haha.

definitely a tamiya jobbie imo, search "tamiya bear hawk" on google see what comes up, some models will demand crazy money

i have a very similar one with a cossie bodyshell. i paid £260 10 years ago lol so probs £26 now

deffinetly some ancient tamiya. your bets bet imo is to strip it and clean it up nicely then wack it on ebay as beleave it or not but there is actually collectors out there for older stuff.

as Burgo said give it a good clean up and you may get lucky on the bay of e.

Sorry but that car is worth next to nothing.
The only people who would buy that would be either a collector
and someone with the same car thats struggling to fine parts.

Best bet is on ebay to be honest, i sold one of my recent cars which i paid £500 for last year, and now its only worth £150

RC cars lose money the minute you buy them, just like women take all your money haha :)

Rc cars are ace, A bear hawk, with no box, instructions and in bad nick, should do £25!

Rc cars are a huge drain on the toy fund!

[MattBrown]

Also just noticed the "Option house" "gold rear shocks"

Theyre worth £5 aswell:)

Bear Hawk isn't considered a vintage one but might get you £50 on ebay.
