Large box from Tamico just turned up, of course the wife signed for it...

Contained within are parts to build up my FF03 purchase from @ThunderDragonCy, together with a body and wheel set for my TA03F. Can you guess what I’m building?? Hopefully the Royal Fail turn up soon with the other piece of the puzzle...

I'm probably gonna catch some flak fro saying this, but I thought long and hard between this thing and a Clodbuster.  This is my very first non-tamiya car and first experience with LiPo batteries.

Ok Friday the Hotshot arrived via LHS "postman". Today for father's day my wife and kids played postman and included an Audi A4 Touring TT01 kit, hop-up parts (TRF suspension, steering set, aluminum driveshaft), ball bearings for the Tt01 and Hotshot, an RX-7 body for the TT01, drift tires, some servos and some receivers.  Lots to do now🤪

Correct!

That was the first part of the puzzle. This morning I received a whole bunch of stickers, some from MCI, the others BNIP vintage stickers from eBay which I picked up for just £25, which I thought was a good price.

Looks like a 'fun' sticker set to apply :blink:

Mostly from Tamico, but also some bits from Tonisport - A load of Yokomo light buckets, a "banana" wing for an S15 which should be just right for a 911 GT2 Evo, short suspension arms for TT-02 Type-S builds, and a cheap servo and DT-03 gearbox mounts which I'll sell on. More paint (always paint when I post here!), styrene rods and tubes and Brembo brakes - gold although I've taken to painting these now so the original colour is somewhat irrelevant.

Was lucky enough to win this auction a couple of weeks back. Just delivered :)

The previous owner started it, but barely. Apparently it's all here.

Nice little haul today, though still have outstanding parcels from Plaza Japan, RCMart and Banzai Hobby :blink:

I got a Scirocco body shell for my FF03 build, some missing diff parts for my TA02 build, a replacement spur gear for my broken Grasshopper :lol: and a load of paint. Oh and a paintbrush, which I think I just accidentally threw in the bin with the Jiffy bag, better go check...

Just had a Robbe ro-safety XL lipo vault delivered.

I've had a regular sized Bat-Safe for a while, that I kept my few lipos in. Now that I have more lipos (and will likely get more in the future), I'd outgrown the capacity of the Bat-Safe.

Looking for a Bat-Safe XL they were either out of stock or discontinued, depending where you look. However I stumbled on the Robbe ro-safety which seems to be a rebadge of the Bat-Safe. A bit more poking and I found the XL version existed and found somewhere with it in stock.

Should have plenty of lipo room now and I'll use the older Bat-Safe to charge in.

Sounds like something Bruce Wayne keeps his valuables in...? :lol:

2mm e clips which took an age to arrive from Tony's.  Very unusual.

Saint Dragon sticker sheet.  Turned up in record time from France.  Very Unusual.

And this beautiful piece of engineering

Considering how rare this motor is, I figure I'll have enough parts to build one within 30 years.

A final few bits for the 49400 Vaillant RSR 934 'from scratch' build! These were hard to track down so pretty pleased :D

One more diff joint, some 5mm flat screws and some spiral tubing and I'm done!!

A big box from Tamico containing a Mountain Rider kit and a Terra Scorcher kit as parts backup for my other Terra Scorcher kit.

Today Mr Postman brought me the vintage XR311 body set that i won on the bay, and also the long sought after Honda F2.

A big thanks to TC member Grizy for answering my wanted shout, i've been looking for the elusive Honda for a few years. I now have the complete F2 set. pics coming soon.
