another "is this a good deal" question about 2008 rxt-x

[paperman]

I am looking at a 2008 rxt-x with 127 hours , does not come with a trailer and has Not had the sc serviced . It does come with a cover. overall in good shape. The guy will take $5100. This sounds like a pretty good deal to me, what do you guys think.

Also 2 more things:
I have herd that 2008 should have the metal washer in the sc but there maybe have been a few that did not. How do I tell if this one has the ceramic or metal one.

Second, I have herd also that if the sc has the metal washers then it does not need to be rebuilt until around 200 hrs.

Thanks

Price sounds decent...pending test ride. Gotta pull the sc to see the washers. Time, period, is the factor re sc rebuilds. Not only time on a running motor.....elapsed time on the bearing cages. Two, three years max....the cages get brittle and can come apart...sometimes with catastrophic results.

did not know about wear on sc also included time, just thought it was based on hours . thanks for that

price seems very fair, invest the time/money to make sure your good on the SC and you shouldn't have to think about much for the next couple of years. Its a nice model.
