Today some things that really make you faster ;)

Not exactly cheap but I like it and I like to support independent designer of good stuff.. Only thing that bugs me is the percentage of shipping and tax.

not RC related but a very nice haul. got in the last of my sticker order for RedBubble today. mostly anime related stickers but i got 3 Tranformers Maximal logos in that pack. also got the 25 galaxy case in today. it feels very rugged and soft at the same time. nice thickness to it and alot of grip to hold onto it. the phone its meant for hasnt arrived yet (NOV 25??) though for all purposes i can retire my trusty flip phone very soon now. :(:( it has served admirably but the sound quality is starting to go and the charging point is becoming finnicky.

i think its about time to give my daily driver a 5HP boost by putting a Maximal logo on the front hood or the rear trunk lid,. thinking the front hood might be better...

im happy that most of my online purchases are in not but that means i dont have anything that is expected. its got me looking at a built TA03F in pretty much new condition a bit more dangerously :wacko:. i feel my resistance waning now...

Received the package corresponding to my won auction on ebay last week.

For the small story, the previous week, the same machine was already on ebay, and I lost of 2 euros... And I seen it again on ebay on the next Monday (don't know the reason). I did set an alarm on the ending of the ebay auction date minus 5 minutes, and set a appointement to make sure I'll be home on Saturday. I have the chassis to replace the broken chassis, and solutions for the rest.

On the D day,  I was on my desk, ready to fire my auction. Decided to go for max 20 euros more than what it was won the previous week. I entered my bid in the last 10 seconds. Won it for less than what I lost the previous week :)

It's here, I will have to unbuilt it, but I'm sure I will have the trio of Hunter/Galaxy cars from Marui :-D

The TA-03 arrived from Tamico, along with a couple of extras from Tamico and Hong Kong. Both deliveries came through without customs charges, so that's definitely a win!

And the repro stickers from MCI showed up too

A good day :D

I've got one more kit delivery due from Poland and then that's me back under my shell again for another few months :ph34r:

RCmart seems to be very slow to Norway these days, ordered 20.Oct and track stil just say -the shipment had been collected-, should probably contact them(new Wheel setup for TXT-2). But got new Joint propeller incl shafts for TXT-2, these should be much better but old ones looks so much more «authentic» in all metal, oh well:spacer.png

I'm in the USA and I've been only using FedEx the last few orders to them.   Earlier this year it took 3 months to get stuff to me and it was ridiculous.  For the next year it will probably worsen.. hopefully I won't have to use them as more containers arrive the US ports and replenish domestic shops.. There are still over 70-80 container vessels waiting to be docked according to the latest news.. this has been going on for many months now. :blink:

I am reliably informed that my used CR-01 chassis has arrived at the office. I'll pick it up tomorrow and post a photo then :D.

Pretty sure this is my first new car since my MF-01X Escort. Which is still unbuilt because the hop-ups I want are never in stock :angry:.

I've ordered some of those bits, where did yours come from @Cynan?

I was assuming that anything TD4-related was going to be delayed until at least December!

These were from RCJAZ. I saw they had them in and cheaper than in the UK so decided to get them from there with some other bits.

For my TA07MS build.

Not a cheap ESC ! Especially compared to the non SR  TBLE-04, but you get a fan and sensor lead plus ....and this is the best bit.

It says "RACING" on the side 😉👍

2 used sets of DB01 wheels for the Top Force DB01. New ones are currently hard to come by and these are cheaper.
