Some models are like that, it usually won’t be a problem.

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

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)

tamiya 47508 1/10 Porsche 956 coming!
CoolHands replied to Mokei Kagaku's topic in General discussions
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. -

I don’t think the ship has arrived -
Good to see some action shots above. i painted. Then repainted. Then painted again. Etc

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!

Very lucky that came through considering there was barely a picture on the internet of this fabled box before your wanted thread!

FS: Ultima JJ Option Parts & Spares (ALL NEW)
CoolHands replied to toyolien's topic in Sales, trades & wanted
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? -
Super Champ re-release - Fighting Buggy
CoolHands replied to TWINSET's topic in Re-Release Discussions
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. -
Super Champ re-release - Fighting Buggy
CoolHands replied to TWINSET's topic in Re-Release Discussions
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: -
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.
