WooHoo! Guess what I just got?
A brand spanking
New-
In-
Package Gorillamaxx G1 single-speed conversion kit, for just $42.99 shipped!
I have been trying to find one of these for what seems like forever now, and I finally came across one! And as if being NIP wasn't good enough, it also had a BIN of only $42.99 with free shipping, and that was just icing on the already very delicious cake! I went ahead and bought it right then! Man, I haven't been this excited about an RC part since the last time I finally found a NIB version of one of my very first real RC cars!
I had been using the typical search terms of "gorillamaxx", "gorilla maxx", and had even tried a few misspelled terms like "gorilamaxx", "gorilamax", and "gorila maxx", but none of them ever turned up what I was looking for. Well, for some reason, last night I tried the different misspelled search term "gorila max", and BAM...not just one conversion kit, but two of them! One was a NIP kit (the one I bought using BIN) and the other was a kit that had already been installed on a transmission, and included the G1 kit, plastic transmission half-case, stock gears, drive-cups, motor plate, and motor cover! Plus, it had never been used, just installed on a shelf-queen and never driven. I bid on it, but it quickly went up to over $120, and since I had just bought a NIP one, I had no need to bid any higher than that.
Anyway, I am so excited, and I will be using this thread as a guide to get it working silky-smooth. I haven't decided if I want to run a stock plastic half-case, or if I want to run an aluminum half-case.
