  1. Some models are like that, it usually won’t be a problem.
  2. You can get these laser level stands fairly cheap around £3.40 with tax Aliexpress 90 laser level also some people have used guitar foot stands which can be quite cheap around £4.50 and suitable often called ‘guitar foot stool’! Aliexpress foot stool
  3. Received nicely packed items from toyolien just one small hitch - I’d forgotten that I had already ordered the same kyosho motor guard and turnbuckles from a Japanese seller which also arrived! (Along with couple of basic kyosho brushed motors for basic models that I may not run much, but I don’t like the tamiya 27 turn silver can motors)
  4. In the past I never got a parcel from the states that didn’t get picked up by customs. So then you get handling fees and all that crap. I don’t buy anything from there anymore it’s not worth it.
  5. Good to see some action shots above. i painted. Then repainted. Then painted again. Etc
  6. I’m a bit annoyed, I bought the landfreeder purely as I wanted to use the tracks on my Konghead (gf06) and thought I might use the body elsewhere. I didn’t know that a) you couldn’t run the gf06 without the front being tracks as well (ie just having 4 track units for the rear is insufficient) and b) the landfreeder version has some parts tree bits missing that are necessary for the gf06! so I can’t use them for that purpose anyway!
  7. Very lucky that came through considering there was barely a picture on the internet of this fabled box before your wanted thread!
  8. I’ll take the UT011GM Motor guard (along with the 2 motors from other thread). I would maybe take the turnbuckles if they replace all the kit turnbuckles for the ultima? But I can’t be bothered to look them all up. Ie is the full set or not, or even more than required?
  9. Love it. Looks superb now. This made me laugh: I’ve occasionally wondered about a tank - have you taken to the woods or what when you e wanted to run it? Guessing quite slow so wondering otherwise where you would run it.
  10. Yeah I probably will - it’s not ideal as the strap could get caught up underneath on rocks or whatever but to be honest it will only be getting light use! Just for fun.
  11. Just building mine - is there any battery solution? I ‘ve searched and haven’t seen much. The shorty would be best as it butts up against the rear aluminium. The hard cases are too long - especially since I have the central bolt in use as I have rcchannel strengthening undertray (so the nut prevents the lipo laying flat). But even without the central bolt the other 2 are raised also which isn’t ideal and would wear lipo case. shorty: Side exit cables works ok with servo post but case too long: central cable exit hardcase: Central cable exit interferes with servo post, plus case too long: The shorty fits nicely, if could find some way to hold it in position:
  12. I’d maybe use white spirit and a toothbrush with the bearings in a tray to clean the metal shielded ones. The rubber shielded ones I think I’d only clean the exterior eg with just the wd40, not submerge in petrol or white spirit.
