iv'e never sold on ebay i only buy and i don't have a pay-pal account anyway so use card to pay straight away the way i see it if you cant pay starigt away then don't bid or buy . ebay will always stick for the buyer if their is problem with the item/listing so i am surprised they have not done this a long time ago and get rid of the pay-pal a long time ago.

today the a load of new screws and threaded shafts and turnbuckles turned up for the top-force
-
if they are split/cracked i would check the screw hole on all the other plastics as they are known for cracking/splitting i have recently had to change all the plastics on my top-force due to this happening

Tamiya Grand Hauler Purple Velvet
topforcein replied to tam-trucks's topic in Big Rigs and Scale Armour
i have that motor in both of my trucks their are a lot out their it depends what you want to pull and how you want to drive it dont and anyone will tell you dont put anything faster than the stock motor in it... that thing is fast enough for a truck remember it is 3 speed and you dont want to roll or tip a truck a ruin the shell and paint as it cost a load to replace and repaint -
i can see the green in the blue on the fender and i know that colour is gonna pop when clear coated and in the sun. i like the fade very much it coming on very nice one thing i would love to do is a HHA colour scheme he has very nice painted trucks. i do have the old shell from my grand hauler when the paint cracked i could have a go at striping and use that

i know exactly how you feel i went through the same in my last job of 10 years i gave me months notice after a long decision to do what i did and i had the same with the offers and i was in no way backing down from my decision you can only take so much before you crack and tbh i did that after the first week but i stuck it another 10 years until i cracked but my health helped me to make the decision it took me a fare while to get over the dahm place and tbh it still gets me know but on the friday i left i felt a world lift off my shoulders when i walked out the gateand i am sure you felt the same what i say to you is take your time get over the place and live a little your family and health and well being is worth more than any job

topforcein replied to rwordenjr's topic in Re-Release Discussions
the image looks a bit squashed on the box to me but still a beut of a box art thought i do like the look of the tamiya jacket aswell -
thats a great livery but as for the new top gear on sunday i dont think i will bother as i really cant be doing with the 3 idiot presenters. to me the 2 main idiots are only in it for the money and i would never class them as "car guys" i did see a video in the last couple of weeks that jezza has been asked to come back to the bbc so if he comes no dought pinky and perky will follow aswell

she's looking so far can't wait to see it with the clear coat on what clear coat you gonna use

Question for the truckers - What could it be?
topforcein replied to 53HRA's topic in General discussions
i dont know if its me but it looks lop sided to me weather its the plate the mfu is sitting on or something else plus the mud guard dont marry up either but you say it is a xb full option kit cause i cant see tamiya letting that past the quality control but stranger things have happened with tamiya quality now if he had been messing with it and not put it back together propperly then that may answer some questions esp if he did not follow the destructions to the tee -
Question for the truckers - What could it be?
topforcein replied to 53HRA's topic in General discussions
i think i used a shoo glue i got from penn when i put my merc together and this cab is a right pain to work on.... it dont tip very far for access so i always end up taking the cab off but it is a great price with every thing included the access screws are in the bottom light grill/bar that comes off then the the top cab is held on when a couple of hinges beyond the upper grill -
i wouldn't worry yet you dont have nearly enough toys to warrant a divorce a what a great fleet you have their but i would say go over all the plastic to check for cracks as the top-force and manta ray are known for this
