Going to check out the Yeah Racing screw sets.  Thanks for the tip!

Happy to help, the yeah racing set is for the Manta. It fits the gear box parts great and also the aluminum arm on steering servo I reserved for the build. The holes for the gear box cover is pretty much the same as the other ones on the kit.

More tools and misc stuff for my Willy projects.  I decided to get the ratchet too since I’ve been borrowing one from my real car tool set.

At least shipping from Tony is reasonable...

Yeah shipping is in the purchase price, it gets up there if you buy a small handful of things, but if I have bought quite a few bits, he has upgraded the shipping for free which was a really nice gesture. 

Have messaged him/James asking for parts not listed and has helped immensely.

Pre-covid I could set my watch to his deliveries. Always an A Class seller, I buy a lot from him because of his supply and efficiency. 😁

My daughter said “Daddy, I need a Class 2 rig with the new Cliffhanger body and Hyrax G8 tires.”  Sort of, she did.

Played postie and picked up these two from my LHS, didn't grab the clear escort bodies though 🤦‍♂️

Ordered the M07 in September/October (been so long I've forgotten), so I am glad to FINALLY have it in my hot hands! 😁

All I need now is the M05-RA (also in stock at my LHS) and I own 1 of all the m-chassis range.

Just quietly, pretty chuffed ☺

Now where did that hop-up list get to... 😂

the mystery to the delivery slip i got 2 days ago has been solved. im currently waiting on a 18 tooth pinion gear and the manta diff set so i can start the build. its just one of many parts ive ordered and waiting delivery of. i got there today and received a big box sent from germany but the sender was Japanese. the whole thing was confusing as it could be. the box was filled with some Japanese news papers but hiding under them was a pic of a german car???

i removed all the news papers and was greeted with this :)

a Sileighty RC body. it looks alot like a Nissan 180SX but it has a Nissan Silvia 13 front clip on it. i think they forgot the SR20DET motor as it wasnt in the box..... hopefully it comes in soon. the usual Sileighty has 180SX body and S13 front clip and a SR20DET motor rather than KA24DE. though other Silvia front clips are chosen by other owners due to lower cost but the name will be a bit different for that conversion. 

im fairly certain that i will need to use the 2x sticky side tape to mount the wing after painting it as there are no holes to drill in the body or wing.

This arrived today from Italy, Longheroni  CC01 chassis conversion. Ordered Monday evening and delivered today.

Also received a Hobbywing 1080 Speed controller. Looking forward to the build and hopefully improvements in drivability .

will probably get some 90 mm shocks later.

Nice.  Are you going to keep the Escort on the MF01X?

I got an Escort body delivered today.  The first of several I'm sure.

And some Honda S800 stickers because they were there.

Nice! Did you get yours from Franktons?

Yeah I think it can stay on the MF01x. I have subconsciously been trying to keep bodies that were available on each  chassis, on what they should be on. I am not bothered in a big way that the escort needs to be on a rwd chassis too much, as then I could also argue that Tamiya doesn't do a FR chassis for it, and where would I draw the line? The body available for the M-four is a odd looking rwd S15 with a kit, which I don't particularly like, so also not sure what I am going to do there...
