The "Postman Brought Me" Thread

Recommended Posts

My head is still spinning from all the TRF damper options. Hopefully I picked the right ones...for a TB02 and M08.

This week a set of 4 Super Mini CVA’s from New Zealand, seeing as most people change the springs anyway for an M05 they should do

19FC5CD5-1A5E-495E-B2B0-EAAE11B7271B.th.
 

And some Stainless Steel suspension shafts from Tony, they took nearly 4 weeks to arrive I was beginning to think they were MIA.

Finally arrived today, despite forgetting to include a few things on the order, at least i can get a start on the build(s) until remaining bits and pieces ship.

Mixture of things for:

(XV-01) - MST Civik EK9 body, 3 Racing LED & TT motor - still waiting on universals

(Re-Re Frog/Hotshot) - Tamiya LED Pods

Everything else will form the basis of TT-02R Mustang GT4

badword yeah bro, glad to see that I'm not the only one who loves the TT-02R. I have a Porsche body on the way for mine. Still trying to decide if I want to go full aftermarket electronics or keep it all Tamiya.

These two arrived via my local collection point. Just so happens the good lady wife was out walking the dogs so all loaded in, un packed and put away without comment.

 First is the Flamingo Ape. These seem like a bundle of fun and even stock are quite quick. They now all seem to come with metal gears as they used to strip the plastic ones. If the weather holds this weekend shell be up and running.

The second is the Proboat River Jet 23. These are awsome. Can run on 3s or 4s but from the videos I've seen 3s is plenty, in fact I think 4s makes it unrealistic and this after all a scale type model. Hopefully this will be out this weekend as well.

Decent shocks will make a big difference.

That's pretty much my shopping list for the MF-01X @Juhunio. Not cheap if from Modelsport but at least they had the parts in stock! Not any more...

A mix of Fusion and Plaza Japan in this case, the man-maths worked out pretty well in the end 😂

Isn't it great when two pagages arrive on the same day?

First from RCKleinkram. PS paints, lexan scissors, two very nice SRT servos,...

The postman brought me

And second my first ever order from Plaza Japan!

The postman brought me

Loads of great stuff! TRF dampers for my TA05, 6 spoke black wheels for the TA04 Loctite Zexel restoration, Aluminium dampers for the TT02 and lots of hop ups for my TL01. Plus lots of little things... and for some reason THIS

The postman brought me

It's actually an eraser! Nice weird free gift 😜

@Maelstrom gotta love the random erasers from Plaza Japan!! And their hand written thank you notes, super cute, did you get that as well?

Last package I got from them included an eraser in the shape of a knock-off pokemon of some sort, I thought that was cool but now I'm jealous of your green poo and toilet, this is another level!

My kids had some similar joke loo’s and if squidged the poo with your finger, it made a farting sound 😂

Not from the postie but a local Facebook Marketplace find, 3 Schumacher buggies and a Tamiya Striker for £40! I've never owned a Schumacher before, all 3 need a good clean, but came with some old am27 radios and a couple of motors, will post up some pictures when I next pop down my container. I may sell the Striker yet as I do already have one, though it's hardly been run, sadly has no stickers on it, but a good place to start for a runner or possible shelf-queen.

A Plaza Japan order arrived with some more bits for my planned FF03Pro+

Accompanied by the usual novelty eraser. Oh, and a packet of tissues, which is a first!

The eraser isn't quite as novelty as @Maelstrom's green loo, but is a remarkably decorative little gift parcel

Plaza Japan erasers...there might be cause for another Special Interest Group, or thread at least!

On a side note, this is the third post-Brexit order I have had from Plaza Japan, all using their DHL shipping option. No VAT added at source, no charges added en route, each delivered within about one week of placing the order :ph34r:
