Yet to try it, but it looks to be a good fit for most models. Amazon delivered too, which saves me from the temptation to add more things to get free delivery I have the same... so far so good 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Juhunio 6830 Posted August 9, 2020 Wanted a Mini and with a new one out of the question I took a punt on an eBay auction, which the courier man delivered today Took it to bits and cleaned everything, quite a lot of gunk removed! I knew it needed new wheels and tyres, wheels pictured and tyres en route. One broken front upright meant i needed a new B parts tree (ordered from Tony!). Everything cleaned up lovely and is in great nick thankfully All original stickers and window masks are unused so the restoration rebuild gamble will live or die on whether I can strip and repaint the shell, which seems to have a LOT of black paint on it 😳 🤞 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Juhunio 6830 Posted August 11, 2020 Boxes of joy 😁 Love the Carrera shell on the TB02, which seems a well specc’d kit. And the Beetle is just a classic isn’t it? 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BP2411 95 Posted August 12, 2020 Not today but thought I'd mention it as it seemed very fast delivery for the price, bought my son a FlySky FS-GT3B on August 1st, it arrived August 4th and was only £29.70, quidco also had a 25% ebay cashback promo on so it cost £22.28 over all. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisRx718 4470 Posted August 12, 2020 I played postman today Shipped off my brand new XV01 Long Damper spec which sold within hours Then went to collect a pre-owned XV01 which had recently been restored and had some choice bits I wanted, together with a body shell I fancied. This has: Carbon F&R shock towers Yeah Racing 60mm dampers Yeah Racing universals F&R I’ve been busy buying parts as I was fully intending to build my Long Damper Spec before seeing this come up for sale. Lots of goodies ordered will mean it needs stripping down when they arrive so I can make it “mine”. Seller gave a quick demo before I handed over the money and I’m already impressed, this thing is super quiet! 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisRx718 4470 Posted August 14, 2020 Well, this is embarrassing. Ordered from Banzai Hobby in early May, I had written this little parcel off. Of course, I’ve ordered replacements for many of these items now. New masking tape, new wheels, new pinions. Some of the replacements I only got around to ordering YESTERDAY Typical that this has arrived today. Unbelievable! 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Worth a try considering the state of it! Is that some sort of bad reaction to the polycarbonate paint or was it deliberately painted with a ghetto camoflage wrap effect? I quite like it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
