ChrisRx718 4470 Posted June 8, 2020 I nearly bought some of those Plasma Edge II rims myself, but resisted the urge! Today I got a nice-but-rather-tatty Jeep Wrangler bodyshell, which I won on eBay a week ago for £40. It once sported a nifty stars-and-stripes paintjob by the looks of it, but has since been treated to a pretty poor "blackout" paintjob. I'm not really sure why I bought it now. It doesn't quite fit on my CC02 without another adapter, and I think I want my CC02 to have a D90 bodyshell which I also recently bought. So I might stick this on one of my other CC01s. It needs a lot of love. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peter_B 997 Posted June 8, 2020 Today the postman (well Hermes courier) delivered a box with a lot of bubble wrap in it. To be honest the box was a bit big for the amount of bubble wrap. Fortunately @jonboy1 had thought of that and, to prevent the bubble wrap being damaged, he had filled the extra space with this... Now, I just need to figure out where to put a receiver and how to get a battery in! 5 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThunderDragonCy 7882 Posted June 11, 2020 Thundershot A parts minus the A5. Picked up on ebay for a song. It would seem that the bonus flupside of having my Super A5 installed is that fresh new gearbox plastics are cheap and easy to get! OG Thunder Dragon will be getting some nice new plastics. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
