Which receivers strokerboy? Just got this today from modelsport, next day delivery, always fast from there. It's the new micro receiver for the code core cr151. Wow it's tiny! It's well under half the size of my code core mini receiver.

I just balanced it on the battery holder of my wt01 on the left for a size comparison to my mini receiver.

I was thinking of ordering a couple of these, thanks for the comparable size pic!

Although, I've got the Tamco TAC330, which is a re badged Core, guessing they should work?

oh and as for me...........

I got some cool stuff from a TC buddy in Greece OPA!!

Sent me more than enough spares to get my BFX body in great shape (several decal sheets too but not pictured)!!

IMG_1117_zpsmghyyeg3.jpg

He also hooked me up with these awesome aluminum wheels that have found their way onto my project dump truck (hopefully I'll recommence painting tomorrow)!!

IMG_1112_zpsrflhgq1z.jpg

Oh and if you look on the wheels you will see black aluminum Tamiya lugs that I waited a month to get.....

I needed cheering up today. Fortunately,  Banzai came to my rescue with a little box of goodies...

A hex screw set for my M03 Mini shelter build...

And I had taken a punt on a 'lucky bag' for the WR02. I imagined packets of purple or pink anodized horribleness but I'm really pleased with what arrived.

IMG_0122_zpsqnskko95.jpg~original

Front skid plate, motor guard and adjustable front and rear upper arms. I can see all of this going on my WW2, finally completing the wheel conversion (I have all the parts) and maybe doing some body mods. A fun spring / summer project!

A used and well loved Hornet from fellow TC'er Terz, love the home printed decals on th rear wing lol.... bloomin ingenious.. if I ever get stuck for decals I'm doing the same :)

He even included a spare Tamiya 25t servo spline for me which I am running short of as I always use 25t servo's for some reason.

Some goody kits all the way from Poland to the US for the 1/16 Sherman tank!

To make it look more real. Parts for the Browning machine gun and a ammo can for the side with scale rounds to make a belt out of!

How cool is that?

Which ones are the servo parts you are using??? What is printed on the backside?? I use mainly Futaba gear and there are always extra servo wheels on the trees, and I have a BUNCH of them.

WHOA, that is some fine detail, can't wait to see more about that and your Sherman. I have a vintage Sherman here too, and one day it will be worked on and working order.

Three out of five packages ordered arrived today, the other two due by Friday I think. Two sets of Tamiya monster truck tires - Lunchbox wheels and tires as well as Suzuki Jimny wheels and tires. Also arrived are the two pieces I had 3-d printed, a new bumper for the Big Bear and the front body mount. The body mount will work perfect, not sure how I feel about the bumper... seems a little weak and a bit ridgy?

A whole ton of stuff, mostly for my new TA07 build currently underway.  Items not on, or in front of the build mat were not part of today's shipment.  ;)

The servo spline I use says Futaba / Tamiya (25t).... I have a bunch of Unused Sanwa ones I'll never use.

Little birthday treat for myself, thought I'd freshen up my TL01LA rally car with a new chassis, set of gears and a Lancia Delta Intergrale bodyshell and paint.

This'll be my 2nd Intergrale shell so hopefully I'll make a better job on the decals this time around 😬

Very cool, if you are worried about the bumper, go check with PintoPower and see what type plastics he is using on this SUPERFLY HOrnet parts from Shapeways as he would know what is strongest.

Hmm, wonder how bad postage would be from you to me for that chassis bit. I have a crack in my current TL01 chassis and was going to duct tape it shut.
