Nah, i went thin because i think that's all they need to be. They worked fine last night at the track. And about half the price of Tamiya ones too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeadMeat666 1675 Posted July 17, 2020 The postman was kind enough to drop this off today, courtesy RCmart. It represents a couple of firsts for me: First FWD kit, first M-chassis, and probably the first time my wife will bring up divorce lol. Now the wait begins for that darned m3 thread tap!: I went a little tiny bit nuts with the hopups I think, now that I'm seeing them all at once, but I'll just pretend it was a stock M07R, which is what I originally wanted. NB: Obviously the hopup marked "TT02 Aluminum... " is for the TT02S, but the rest are all for this one. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Re-Bugged 10151 Posted July 18, 2020 A couple of servos today, I have a few 1501MG Power HD’s which are analogue in other cars and work great, so I thought I’d give these a go. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Superluminal 3750 Posted July 18, 2020 A parcel of stuff courtesy of Farmerbrown. Some bits for my Ta02, F103 and some Tl01 chassis parts amongst other assorted parts for various projects. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ferruz 11702 Posted July 18, 2020 The postman brough me this yesterday evening... a few sets of NIP vintage Eagle spiked tires, found on the bay a while ago for a steal (relatively speaking). Very happy with it as they are gorgeous and smell like heaven! Had to get eight of them... one set of four will run, the other will be for the shelf. Held my breath for a few weeks as I wasn't sure they would fit my 8-holes Kyosho rims i bought them for. Fortunately, they fit like a glove👍 ...now I want an Eagle Spiked Tires deodorant for myself... 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ferruz 11702 Posted July 18, 2020 Bling, bling, bling! These parts came in the mail within the last few days. Most of this RCmart bonanza will be for the Manta Ray, but there are also some part for my upcoming Terra Scorcher build. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
burakol 462 Posted July 19, 2020 Oh yeah... Tower has the Terra Scorcher in stock... really considering that one as my last purchase for the year... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GeoJohnF 14 Posted July 19, 2020 I got this today. Thank you USPS. Totally old school, but its what i'm used to. Should give the TT02B Plasma Edge a bit more pep-in-the-step. Ferruz - I see you have the Extra Speed alloy A5 part for the Terra Scorcher. Let us know if that bad boy is truly plug and play. I have one on the way as well. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Re-Bugged 10151 Posted July 20, 2020 Well blow me down with a feather, RC parts would appear to be like buses, nothing for an age then 2 turn up at once. Relieved to say a Phat Lexan Mini body turned up today from the other side of the world in perfect condition. I can see why Mini’s are so popular now I’ve got one in my hand (even if it’s not strictly Tamiya ) 😁 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonboy1 2943 Posted July 20, 2020 my first modern transmitter/receiver!!! Went for a Flysky FS-i6 as I'm a die-hard stick fan. Foolishly forgot to order the spring return bit for the fwd/rev stick, so need to get one of them, but otherwise I think I've got everything needed to get at least the CR-01 running!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
