Well timed as I've just finished my Sand Scorcher! I've rebuilt a full size 2cv on a replacement chassis so this should be much easier. That's a beautiful VW Bug in the back. Do you have some pictures of that one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

78Triumph 2610 Posted September 6, 2018 I bought another M-05 VW Golf kit to build up bone stock to race this fall on indoor carpet. It will be my first time ever really racing. Untitled by Joe, on Flickr This arrived from Jazhobby in China to my doorstep in NJ in six days! I couldn't believe it! The last one I ordered was sitting in NYC Customs for a week. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bjorklo 1620 Posted September 7, 2018 yesterday I got this stuff in the mail But I got a message from eBay, global shipping program, regarding the gold ta03 dampers I have bought saying it's a restricted item????? so they could not ship it to me???? I have allready got a refund from eBay, but why on earth can't they ship 4 small dampers to me, is it because of the oil inside? But this means it's gonna be hard getting used dampers from ebay when seller uses GSP. But they also say "The item will not be shipped to you nor returned to your seller", does this mean the seller want get em back? if so, there is something very wrong, or one ebay employee that really needs a set of good dampers for his car. So of, to find myself other dampers then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Re-Bugged 10153 Posted September 7, 2018 Chuffed to see the Postman today when he brought a Kyosho Javelin, nice to have at least one higher end kit in the collection. The box took a bit of a knock in transit but no damage to the contents thankfully. He also had a Skyrc S60 balance charger for me, as I discovered that the imax my Dad gave me is a clone. Live and learn. 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That they'll throw them in the trash where they could potentially have a more environmental impact versus sending them to you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nellyle 382 Posted September 7, 2018 Got home just now to find universal shafts, Schumacher small bore shocks, a new chassis and a Top Force Evo turnbuckle set ready for my Manta Ray Mongrel build. Going to be a fun afternoon! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I bought the Sand Scorcher kit last year when I was on holiday in Japan, and initially tried to replicate the box art but couldn't get it perfect so rubbed it down and started again. I was going to do a Herbie replica so ordered some L87 Pearl White but once I sprayed the shell I decided to keep it as it is in the picture. I'm not going to run it so it will just sit in my office. I worked in a big RC model shop many years ago when I young and built Tamiya kits for customers in the run up to Christmas so it's nice to take my time and enjoy building them now! 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I feel sorry for the guy loosing all that money for those good dampers... Ebay said something like your dispute is now solved. I really hope that the guy don't think I had something to do with this.. Since I haven't started any dispute against him... A bit *******ed of on ebay now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least you got a message, I received a refund on a 1:1 car part I ordered from the states, phoned the seller (a bit fuming, set alarm to get up in the middle of the night to phone!), seller insistent they sent the item and gave tracking, eBay or paypal couldn't tell me why i was refunded, many live chats and phone calls later, I eventually received a message off eBay, to say, the item was to large to process so was liquidated!

I'm using a few of these esc's on 2s lipo and even a couple of these 5200kv motors.... they run very well, good luck with yours. Today postie brought me this..... an absolute bargain had off Ebay, being an XB I had to have it,... it came with the strangest looking esc though, and a big pointy ariel on the transmitter! The bodyshell has hardly been used save for a minor split in the front valence about 2mm deep... I plan to use this chassis though to mount a Tamiya LaFerrari shell on - as part of my supercar collection being amassed. (Zonda on a TB03 too) These'll probably be ripped out and updated after tested they all work as should and might even be put up for sale. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tamiya3speed 464 Posted September 12, 2018 Forgot to take a pic, but a Vanquish VS4-10. I'm telling myself this is the last kit for a while and may even sell some to make myself feel better about the cash outlay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Juggular 4964 Posted September 12, 2018 I got 3 different kinds of LED sets. On the left are bucket lights (arrived broken here and there, but I need only 2 from each). $6.50 each. The middle are simple white and red lights (2 white, 2 red. Simple plug-in, not even a switch.). $1.64 each. On the right can be controlled by receiver signals (12 lights--- 2 brake, 4 blinkers, 6 white). $12.50 each. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
