SICK! Have you ever thought about making them and re-selling them?

EDIT: I just realized they made these kits. I can't believe I've never seen these before.

thanks!

thats actually what i do with these lol. they sell the GS as a kit but its the cheap entry level tamiya TT01 chassis which is all plastic. I have a full CF chassis with aluminum/titainium parts and high-end electronics reaching over 400 alone for electrics lol but i love the hobby. I buy/sell/trade and always make my money back. This current one has about 800-900 into it but i've already made 600 of it back from selling bodies wheels etc.

funny thing is, i got an offer today on an RC forum to sell my GS400 body and the current wheels on them for 100 unfinished!
