This FINALLY turned up.

Ordered from RCMart on the 16th of April, turned up yesterday. The tracking says it's been in the country since May the 1st, and the package isn't even anything to do with RCMart? Netherlands Post? 

@Grumpy pants, get a pack of these for your konghead, some 3mm locknuts, and never worry about losing step screws, dog bones, and gearbox joint cups again 👍

Yes! Finally!

Parcel from Plaza Japan, which also avoided any customs charges for a change (all previous orders from there have incurred a bill)

These bits are required to rebuild my low-friction shocks I bought from FaceBook marketplace. I guess it means I can finally build my TA02SW too!26ADF570-A24E-4950-803B-9F909892C16D.thumb.jpeg.6c2531c827d7ca4d60e18991d1f4fb9b.jpeg

Does their shipping take a long time Chris ? they apparently have a part in stock that is out of stock here for at least another month. Debating on if its worth ordering from them.. (unless you happen to have some TA03F rear uprights hanging about...)

Ordered 22nd May, so 3 weeks exactly. Not bad considering. I just had a quick look for the 03 rear uprights, unfortunately I don't have any :(

I'm still waiting on a parcel from Banzai hobby in Japan, dispatched on the 11th May :( Shipping times are all over the place.

Case in point: ordered some cheap tyres from AliExpress from a shop in China on the 31st May, expecting them to take forever; just turned up :huh:

I'm now eyeing-up bits from AsiaTees, but my credit card has taken a pounding lately :lol:

The rear uprights are split at the top mount, single shear is such a bad idea. If I could find metal ones I'd probably go that route.

Hmm, I may as well wait for UK suppliers I guess. Interesting though, the sprue is about £10 here, JPY 400, which is a sniff under £3..

I hear you on the credit card front.. mine is whimpering tooo at the moment!

A few bits turned up today. Foam Body Protectors, some hot melt glue sticks a white tyre pen and a 4x4 vehicle driver. Still waiting for some paints to start him...

The ‘Heavy Metal’ version of the GF01 dump truck, I’ve been interested in getting this kit for a while because of the chrome plated chassis.

Next kit I buy will be a G6-01, most likely the truck.

bought to much stuff this week, and not all of it arrived.

paint some one sold them for 3.75 euro a can, 2 bleu bird servo, tires and wheels, eneloop batteries for my transmitters.

a ta-03f chassis with parts, 2 bodies the yellow one is not so nice is painted with the wrong paint, the silver one is very nice and I think it is an expert build body and never used.

and a rare ta-03f rear gearbox housing and suspension parts that I found very cheap.

Congrats on the TA03 parts, where did you find them? Never seen a header card like that before, has it been done by a shop?

Although with 50701 D Parts you are supposed to get 2x as much parts :lol:

I know that the 50701 parts had to be 2 but the gearbox parts and the 50701 parts where only 9 euro together. 

and the ta-03f rear gearbox part is hard to find there are a few on ebay but they cost like 40 euro.

A very modest set of 3 Flysky receivers 👍

Just some bearing out standing for me at the moment.

Thanks @berman It will save the frustration of losing and then waiting for parts to arrive.

I feel like the KH is a keeper so it’s worth me spending a little more on it sensibly 💥

I had thought about this fix, but I hesitated as I don’t want to put the fixing points on the chassis under pressure, but this sounds like it’s not an issue? 😊

The Exotek RS7 conversion arrived for my TA07, along with a bunch of other parts like carbon reinforced A parts, TRF418 or 419 arms in different compounds, shims, v parts etc. 

What is annoying is RCMart said that 54691 TRF419 arms came in a pack which would outfit one car, but they don't.  I now have to find another one and the shipping on a single part is crazy money.

Pretty happy though, the TA07 is going to look great with a carbon fibre chassis.

No, you will need 6 3mm lock nuts though. Just do them up so the nylon is on the thread, bit fiddily, but once it's done, you dont have to sit there with a screwdriver in your pocket taking chances on when it next comes undone. 👍 I did my Dump truck and most of my konghead 😎
