The "Postman Brought Me" Thread

[max69vk 708]

Unfortunately it's only the box, but it'll make a nice home for one of my M38's sitting on the shelf

Not what the postman brought me but what I got from freecycle, this thing

I think its some promo thing for call of duty black ops, its free it works and it has a camera on the front you get a feed to the remote so its good fun

Another TNX body shell!  this will be for the shelf got a couple of splits but good nic

I may not have been able to stay home and play Tamiya today but being at work meant I was here to receive a TL01LA with Spektrum 2.4Ghz radio gear!

Bearings from Colin to catch up on some builds.

 

Parts for my Lancia build.

Following my recent theme of buying the most atrociously abused hard bodies, I had this beauty arrived today. Looks like they tried using concrete to repair it previously!

Frog re-re decals.  One for a Frog shell (that I don't have), one for DT03 (that I don't have). 

I don't think I've seen a barcode paper inside a sticker bag before...  and the bottom is sealed at an angle.  

Are these genuine? 

 

[Crash Cramer 617]

I’ve seen slight angles on the bagged parts before, but not the barcode paper inserted yet, would that mean there is no barcode printed on the backside of these then? It has been sometime since I ordered parts or decals from folks other than kit breakers.

[Juggular 4964]

I don't think I've seen the barcode on the backside.  I should check when I go home. 

Edit: Nope, no barcode on the backside.

Thank you Banzai Hobby! 

Drift car motor and a crawler motor - £20ish for both, not bad I reckon!

Trackstar waterproof ESC/Motor combo.

'

It's sensorless, which I should have checked before buying. But it's for a basher, so not a huge deal. We'll see once it's mounted.

It came with no instructions and there are no markings on the motor wires to indicate the different wires (A, B, C). Do I just plug it together and let the ESC figure out the configuration?

Planning to put this in the King Yellow I'm building with the kid. It now has a Speed Passion Reventon Pro and matching very un-waterproof motor:

These were put in just because the rating is pretty good to what I want and it was laying around.

I shortened the servo lead for the rear servo and built a short custom Y cable. Will be interesting to see how the FlySky receiver handles these two servos. I'm thinking about adding a direct connection to the ESC/motor cable to pull power directly from the ESC.

New Skates came in today

2 LiPos that don't quite fit in my Top Force (they will do with some velcro straps) and the ugliest transmitter ever made

[Wooders28 4723]

The couple of rattle tins i ordered from Otley Modelsport arrived, along with the, oh those lipos are quite cheap, and I'll need a charge sack, and oh look at those and those .....

It's pretty bad.

But it does feel nicer to hold and use than the Absima I've got.

Yep that is pretty dadgum UUUUUUUUUGLY, LOL reminds me of a Cylon 

[max69vk 708]

I promise this will be the last vintage model I buy *crosses fingers*

no idea why the previous owner decided to paint the front wings black, unfortunately it's trashed the original decals & the rest around the shell are all in pretty good shape.

 

[evssv69 378]

hey come on don't just put a post up like that and not give us a pic or 3

[Tamiyabigstuff 832]

Couple of things I've just noticed - the motor supplied in the kit is a 35T and the rear tyres are a new chunky tread pattern I've not seen on any of the other 1/14 truck kits.

Tipper bed is very impressive - quite heavy 1-piece plastic moulding. Quite a lot in this kit - very impressed.

Just have to talk the wife into letting me get the tipper mechanism now...
