The "Postman Brought Me" Thread

Recommended Posts

A few cans so I can make some progress on a couple of projects. Also got a spray can trigger grip which is meant to be good and I know others have used.

A small parcel from Japan just arrived :)

A New, never used TA03F PRO Carbon chassis plates set and something a little different, that i had never seen before. A Tamiya rubber, new from the early 90´s in the box art of my 58096 Celica. For 1€ i couldn't say no

sadly the first is 1/24 scale. What I would give for an M chassis Tamiya bodied Stratos. PC or hard body!!!!!

A little delivery. A couple of parts for my MF-01X and TD4.

Today, I received a big box with a lot of 3D printed parts from The Optima House, and that included my Nichimo chassis as I discussed with my friend to do it this way to save some shipment cost for both him and myself...

Lot of parts for Samurais, Galaxy and Hunter. You'll get more details as I'll build those cars within the appropriate threads...

And for the Nichimo chassis, I was quite impatient to see the result...

Got a delivery from Asiatee, my fastest ever delivery from HK ever, and on regular airmail with none of this Fedex or additional postage cost nonsense. Got to love how they fill out their CN22.

Ordered on 16 March, delivered today, just a week with non "express" service.

I worked out it is easier to just buy a second kit for my twin motor MTC experiment as I do not need to get parts from multiple sources and risk getting them wrong. If I like it, the main kit will stay 4WD and this kit will be spares. If not, I will build this as a MR. Also, to account for the additional weight, I ordered the spring set as kit springs are mid hard and soft only. Finally, the rear bumper part tree as the body currently on the built chassis is so short that the standard front bumper will not work at all. Also comes with a 380 to 540 adaptor which I maybe able to experiment with by using a 380 in 540 gearing.

I'm sorry to hear of your loss @Juhunio;)

Today I received some more R31House rims and tyres (slicks and buggy versions). Super quick delivery from HK too, although postage did cost a few bob. :o
