The "Postman Brought Me" Thread

Recommended Posts

So it turns out I'm a convert to scale brake discs... hot on the heels of my post on the previous page, I was so impressed with how the RC4WD hex-hub scale rotors looked on my white 8-spoke wheels for the YJ, that I dived down the internet rabbit hole and found a manufacturer/supplier of similarly well-detailed rotors for the SLW hubs I have on the SRB Cage Racer, which ought to finish things off nicely with the fancy Vanquish Method Roost wheels already installed...

Not something you see available that often, especially unused. These will be finding their way onto one of many custom WR02 projects 😊

Some nice goodies - Focus 2003 Body set, new re-re Zakspeed Promarkt C-Class body set, Escort WRC body and stickers. Impreza German Rally stickers, silver plated Jaguar XJR wheels, Escort Repsol Wheels, some very yellow Mondeo wheels and a load of vintage parts (mostly F1) that came as job lots which I'll be selling the majority of:

Today the postie has delivered some 3D printed goodies...

AMPro Hornet rear wing stay and lower suspension mounts to finish off my Hornet.

M04 wide  front damper stay for conversation using TL01 suspension arms. Handy as I have just bought my Carrera RSR.

Made the most of eBays 15% off....

Not yet taken it for a spin!

My first impressions of it out the box are pretty standard, unfortunately it did not wow me (maybe that’s due to looking at it so much online before ordering?)

Wheels look a touch small, wheelie bar is very flimsy and I was disappointed that for its price tag the shock spaces fitted on the front were not even the same sizes causing it to sag to the left. Matching spaces now fitted. 

Let’s hope it’s performance ticks the main box which is being a great car to drive!

Some Shapeways bits from their black friday sale. Another iteration of my Thunder Dragon front shock mount, some better front camber link mounts for Ultra G, and a punt on a design I did a while ago to allow using M05 battery retainers on the Thunder Dragon.

Picked one of these up just because the suspension setup is somewhat realistic with inboard rocker arms and dampers.  It's like a F201 but 2WD instead of 4WD.  The kit is complete with a body and wheels/tires.  I wish they would have left the body untrimmed; it looks as if someone took a Sawzall to it by my standards!
