XRAY FK05 Sedans

(date: sometime in 2007)

I have a friend who was no longer racing on road sedans and wanted to off load his dormant toys. Like all the other cars he sold me, he made me a deal I could not refuse. He sold me 2 Xray FK05 sedans with extra wheels, bodies, and a lot of parts for $200. The pictures below is most of the stuff I got, there were things too but I can not find the pictures.

Traded for CEN Matrix TR FRE

(date: october 01, 2008)

In October of 2008 I noticed that the 2 XRAY FK05 sedans just sit on the shelf most of the time so I posted an ad on RC Universe to see what kind of offers I would get.  I was hoping to trade for a blade 400 helicopter or something around that class size. Unfortunately the only offers I kept on getting were Blade CX2 and Blade CP helicopters. 

Then finally I got an offer that spiked my interest that I was not expecting, some guy from Georgia offered to trade me a CEN Matrix TR FRE 1:8 scale truggy with some extras. Click here for the full store on they CEN Matrix. Ultimately I accepted his offer and here is what I got with this deal (since everything he sent me was brand new I have included store prices):

Traded for Blade 400 & Honey Bee King v2

(date: january 14, 2009)

Since I was still looking for a Blade 400 Helicopter I kept an eye out for one on ebay or RCU. One day I came across an ad that had potential, because he was willing to trade for a 1:8 scale truggy. The first thing that came to mind was my CEN Matrix, I also did not want part with it because of all the work I put in to it. Plus the matrix is an amazing truggy and I like it a lot. I thought it would be a shot in the dark if he would trade me for the Blade 400. To my surprise he emails me back with interest, so we email back and forth trying to work up an equal deal. And finally we came up with trading my CEN Matrix with all the parts, 2 bodies, extra chassis, and 2 servos for his Blade 400 RTR without the DX6i radio, and his upgraded Honey Bee King v2.

So I ended up trading most of the things I got for the previous trade ( I kept one set of Proline LPR Crime Fighters, A Set of Losi XTT tires w/ yellow wheels, and Cen Aluminum 17mm Wheel Adapters) plus the parts listed below.

MG995 Metal Gear High Speed & Torque Digi Servo (2) 19.98

Traded for Blade 400 & Honey Bee King v2: Part 2

(date: january 23, 2009)

Over a week later I still have not seen anything in the mail or received a tracking number. The guy claims that the bad weather and being in a small town played a role in the slow mailing service.  Ultimately at this point I will be happy if I get my package and not get ripped off.

After having numerous emails with the guy I traded the CEN Matrix with I finally got the first of two packages. So far he was honest about describing the condition of the Blade 400. If looked like it was new, if the tail rotor was not scratch I could not have tell the difference.  The Blade 400 came in its original box with the following content:
Blade 400 3D PNP Electric Mini Helicopter -  EFLH1475 279.99

Traded for Blade 400 & Honey Bee King v2: Part 3

(date: january 27, 2009)

A few days later I received the last package, and as promised he sent everything he said he would. However the description and condition of the King 2 was not what I was expecting. According to him the King too had a lot of upgrades and RTF. The only upgrades I found are: brushless motor, esc, and main blades. So I think I was kind of spoiled when I saw the condition of the Blade 400, because the King 2 is far from being what I expected. Plus the king 2 was not setup correctly and I learn that the hard way, with my first crash. I think they guy knew that he the King 2 was not in that great of a condition so he claims he would send me the spectrum DX6i for free. But as of today, I still have not received anything new from him.
