M3 x 18mm threaded standoffs arrived for the servo mod on the TD4, waiting on a load of other parts too.

[Grumpy pants 4451]

Hubs, driveshafts, UJ’s and rubber shields bearing for the SS project 😊

[simalarion 2194]

Back from Sweden now, several RC related products in the mail. The Stand was better quality than expected (bought 2, they can also hold oil dampers), last pair off steering Buckles & new StainlessSteel screws (M2.5) for Firestorm wheel as the old one rusted after 1 drive.

 
Last pair off red Buckles:

I am now done with upgrading Agrios and are pleased with the result, both handeling and look. Same goes for Grasshopper & Top-Force. So the last Hop-up goes to C-Avante (my daughters) as i could not resist the good price on Damper hop-up, even though my original plan was not to hop this one up :), i liked it a lot more than i expected myself.

New motor cable for my spares box and a phenomenal stash of SS parts from a very generous @jonboy1

Lower arms and 8mm balls for Vanquish/VQS, Egress, etc and gears for a DF01/Ta0x torque splitter

 

[Lee1075 282]

Where did you find those batteries? Nice find! I've been looking out for them, but no joy so far

The 1700 SCR i got from a fellow forum member, messaged him last week over on FB asking is he had one spare. 5 minutes later i received some photos and bought it.

The battery and charger kit i bought on yahoo auctions, for 15€.

Some tasty touches for the FF03 bits-a-build

And a future build, adding another number to my 'TB' collection. Pleased to find the shell too, keeping my eyes open for a set of the Hatsune Miku Studie stickers which are pretty cool

[M 800STD 586]

@Juhunio  If you have no joy, search for Good Smile Racing decals/stickers.

These bits arrived from AmpDraw in the US today, with no grumbly customs note accompanying them which is nice. All very happy finds, especially the TRF L screwdriver (only the M to go now for a complete set) and the replacement bit for the 2mm hex wrench. I reckon that's my most used tool, so having the replacement bit will extend its life a good deal

Not so nice was the customs notice I did received, for an order from Belgium. Annoyingly it's the one where the parts were already pretty £££ouch£££ due to being quite scarce and the hobby store pricing accordingly, so this makes the whole deal even more painful. But on the whole I've been very lucky with customs, so I'm staying philosophical about this one

Slipper for the TD-4

[Grumpy pants 4451]

Big thank you to @Cynan for this NIP reamer.

Very pleased and very grateful, thanks bud 😎

 

 

[Grumpy pants 4451]

In other news - these parts arrived from @KEV THE REV.

Thank you Kev, yours will be sent out ASAP!

I finally caved and picked up one of the these over the holidays. The rider movement is one of the coolest things I’ve seen in RC. 
 

 

[simalarion 2194]

@Room335 - did not even know RC-Bike did exist, i would be interested in both seeing the build and you drive it

I'm guessing these parts are old(ish) and blue

Something old, something new, something carbon, something blue…
