I think I have some of those on the Super Sabre I bought last year (and haven't looked at since). It's certainly got adjustable arms fitted and I'd wondered what the origin of them was. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

junkmunki 846 Posted September 4, 2019 Just arrived from overseas.... I've not had this set before, so very pleased. Almost mint apart from a small patch on the front of the box where a label has been removed. J 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They come up so infrequently I thought I would go for it. Well, I didn't have fun fitting this last night! Following the stock setup guide, the arms bind on the gearbox and the ball joints bind even more! The kit also came with one of those braces that stops the arms spreading apart but you can't fit it correctly because of the shape of the arms so if you tighten it up you get...you guessed it, binding! As best as I can tell, it's not down to any differences between the original and re-re hotshot so I don't know. Is it just me who tends to find Parma stuff can be a let down? In terms of finish and instructions and random aspects not mentioned in the instructions at all! Perhaps some of it is down to the age of the parts but I don't know...some of it is definitely a design issue. I'd love to see your setup @Peter_B maybe I can work out where I'm going wrong? I will make a thread about it later! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Richardrpm 98 Posted September 6, 2019 Well I wanted to get my next body painted (Sand Scorcher) so I ordered some repo stickers. But when they came I was really disappointed. So I got my hands on some originals. Then that led to many more original stickers.Oh boy. 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

J That's definitely a real good find👌👍(I'm officially jealous) I just loved those body parts boxes even back in the day! but I could never understand why you could get all the SRB ( family) bodies parts in a gorgeous box but the Ford ranger only ever had the brown printed version?

Grotty Otty 868 Posted September 10, 2019 Got my Lunchbox Mini plus the bearings and a servo for it. Should have got the bearings from RC bearings.co.uk as they would have been half the price! Oh well. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JennyMo 3526 Posted September 11, 2019 Ha! - real metal windscreen wipers, that even have tiny springs to attach so they snap against the windscreen! photo. much longer (and the right size for a HiLux windscreen) than the plastic Axial ones I'd bought previously. More epic detailing nerdage here in my 2WD HiLux build thread. Jenny x 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
junkmunki 846 Posted September 11, 2019 In keeping with my current obsession with collecting original body kits, this just arrived from Japan. The box is not 100% perfect, i would say its about a 9 out of 10, but the contents are minty. J 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TurnipJF 9192 Posted September 12, 2019 Given the success of my RWD 4WS M-03 racing teapot which took me to first place at the Asylum Steampunk Festival teapot races, I have ordered another M-03 which will receive the same mods for my wife to race. The large turning circle of her Rising Fighter based teapot put her at a distinct disadvantage. This should help her chances significantly. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Badcrumble 4204 Posted September 12, 2019 Bumper lots arrivals when I got back to the office after a couple of days away. ORV gearbox plates thanks to @njmlondon Junfac driveshafts for my GCM Skeleton Jeep. Some generic hexes, probably to go on my Dual Hunter runners. Still have some wheels and an ESC/motor/servo combo en route. Then a break from buying stuff, I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
