Man1c M0nk3y 564 Posted February 6, 2019 Well I picked my own package up after yesterday’s balls up. I now have tyres/inserts for the Top Force. Some ‘proper’ Tamiya tools instead of anything in my box that sorta fits! 7 (yep 7!) different colour Core RC paints for the girls DT03T body. And a load of parts for the Schumacher Cougar I was supposed to be not touching until I’d finished the other two builds. Oops! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray_ve 1043 Posted February 6, 2019 The new shocks for the bullhead, and a 3S lipo. Took the bullhead out for a spin on 3S and dual silvercan, This is a crazy drive! It will do wheelies from standstill, and on half brake it's rear is in the air. Had to seriously reduce steering angle to keep confidence in the controls... RC was not like this in the eighties whahaha... Edit: These shocks are 100mm, love the new slightly lowered look. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ELEPHT70 43 Posted February 6, 2019 A few things arrived. Hand delivered by the seller yay! 😊 The Hornet is complete I think it has a broken shock or steering mount which is an easy fix. The Manta Ray in the box is a very clean, original example in box art Which will go nicely with my custom Ray. Super Astute is a new built re re and the others are vintage. No pics but also got an original ACTO-POWER Pinky motor (decal) and a DYNA-TECH 02H in very good condition. Was a nice little haul! 😊 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That sounds fun, I'll be pimping my Bullhead when it arrives and those shocks look very apt... so the Bull can handle 3s lipo ok then?? Love that bodyshell btw... must pick up one for a runner to preserve the original bullhead shell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JennyMo 3526 Posted February 7, 2019 Turns out it would probably be cheaper just to buy a real Jeep and modify/accessorise it! Still, there are a few extra parts here that will be useful for my other models too - that's how I justify it anyway ;o) Jenny x 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

max69vk 708 Posted February 7, 2019 Purchased on the same day, one came from Taiwan the other from North London. Guess which one arrived first! The arches look terrible on silver & it turns out they were painted on the outside, a quick 20 minutes of rubbing & it looks 100x better. Tried it on my M05 chassis as I remembered the M03 it was destined for, I’d actually sold last year 🤭 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grastens 2795 Posted February 8, 2019 The hobbyist's haul arrived for me today: That should be enough raw materials for me to do some serious scratchbuilding - I hope I am up to the challenge! 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Love that bodyshell btw... must pick up one for a runner to preserve the original bullhead shell. I ran at for a minute or 2, as it was already quite late. The motors and WP-860 ESC did not feel hot. Gearboxes sounded OK too. However, given the crazy drive, I think I'll run the Bullhead on 2S for now. The 3S is really intended for a nitro Mugen Seiki I have, which will get a brushless conversion. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
