The "Postman Brought Me" Thread

Recommended Posts

An assortment of items I'd ordered 6+ weeks ago. The dampers, stabilizers, and pinion are for my DT-02 (which started life as a Nissan Racing truck but quickly turned into a Sand Viper). The rest are destined for a "super" (read: expensive and unnecessary) TL-01 rebuild that has been planned for two years now...

Although for TL-01, you can't sneakĀ m-chassis parts past these eyes... šŸ¤“ šŸ˜„

I'm guessing the M-chassis servo horn is for the TL01 as it's a perfect fitšŸ‘Œ

That's exactly right. I also believe it'd fit the WT-01, but I don't see the need to add bling to it, since I only use the WT-01 for bashing.Ā

got a package that turned up with a big open tear in the side. looked like trouble, but everthing was there.

the smaller parts could have slipped out, but they were lying on the opposite side to the opening.

Tamiya tires + foam inserts, HPI tires, 3Racing titanium screws, and 3Racing aluminium servo mounts.

Yeah its amazing how 'lego' that horn is for a lot of late 90s Tamiyas. I need to get a few of those and the obligatory hi torque servo savers for my M03/4s šŸ˜Ž

Nice! A friend of mine has just got one, he has been running a M05 for a while but he thinks the ff03 is the better of the two. He paired it with a 10BL60 and a 10.5t motor and it is fast. Enjoy mate

Thank you so much!! I'm starting out with a 17 Turn Brushed.... but plan on going Brushless - maybe on my SECOND FF-03! šŸ˜²šŸ˜šŸ˜ŠĀ 

I've wanted one FOREVER, and MY time has finally come. Over 9 Years of living HELLL is finally coming to an END!!!Ā 

Mate, I've got a Shopping List that will rival a Teenage Girl in a Shoe Store during a Sale!!! šŸ˜œšŸ˜‚šŸ˜…šŸ˜‚

Thanks! I've been hearing about it for years. At first I couldn't imagine HOW it could possibly work - with that huge LUMP sticking out in front!! šŸ˜³Ā 

Then my Best Friend, Mark Bryan got one. I watched him build it, then run it....Ā  SHOCKING how well it Handled and Steered, especially for FWD!!!Ā  NONE of my M Chassis Cars could take a Corner like this can!Ā  And the Cantilever Front Shocks are just COOL šŸ˜ŽĀ 

I UNDERSTOOD His frustration with Step 1.... I've built a LOT of RCs since 1984 - but I could NOT get that Ball Diff together!!! šŸ˜–šŸ˜­šŸ˜ šŸ˜ šŸ˜ Ā 

I thank God that I also ordered a Gear Diff! Never liked Ball Diffs anyway, wears, finicky and needs frequent adjustments!! šŸ˜–Ā  I built the Gear Diff in under 15 minutes! Filled it with 20K Diff Oil, sealed with a Gasket - and I'm DONE.Ā 

Although it leaves me STALLED until the needed FF-03 Evo Gearbox Case finally arrives from CHINA!! šŸ˜–šŸ˜ Ā  For those not familiar, the Gear Diff in this is 7mm wider than the Ball Diff, and uses a different Case.

Minor setback. My Life 2.0 is about to begin SOON!

Popped by to do some TXT-2 research, saw @Snappy1's VQS build, caved in. Few days later theseĀ arrived.Ā 

EDIT to say: sorry about the mess. Covid and working from home means my play room is now my office slash den of microsoft teams. Sadly spending a lot more time in here hasn't lead to great improvements in my tidyness.Ā

Thank you so much!! I mean that. Next Christmas will NOT be the lonely, tree-less, presents-less, decorations-less, DEPRESSING week like that one was.

About the end of February is when the Inheritance should be in my Bank.... I'm going to do something nice for the People who helped me and my Family. šŸ˜‰šŸŽšŸŽĀ 

Fortunately due to "stuff", that list is very, VERY short.Ā  Thank you again Jon. Takes a big Man to be selfless, especially if there's ridicule involved. Going forward, I'm going to do my best to follow that lead. šŸ‘ŠšŸ˜Š
