The "Postman Brought Me" Thread

Recommended Posts

Some bits for the TD2 which are absolutely essential and in no way showy bling brought just to match the dampers6C358AAD-AF47-44B9-894B-65470CA9476A.thumb.jpeg.28a4372510694515dd08db1651c413c6.jpeg 

Also some more bits that might actually prove useful at some point. AA6B84D4-6B7B-471F-9995-02DDEE8FC002.thumb.jpeg.fa3adc55dbb07ad3d34fd27a6f0feebc.jpeg

I'd set up an email notification with Tamico so it was from them. Not sure if they still have them now though. I assumed other places would get them also, but not seen anything yet.

I think I have all the hop ups now that I'll fit to my XV-02 when I build it. Plus cheap receivers and I went crazy on wheels at JC Racing. Every available colour of mini lites and a running set for the Optima mid. I should've got some more pepper pots too really, since they're the best I've tried for the DT-03. XV-01 Escort can now have Tamiya soft rally block tyres on mini lite wheels 👌

There is nothing boring about styrene and Tamiya Extra Thin. 

The world is your playground!

I really need to remove Marui from my search terms...

A Ninja arrived today, with its box.

A very quick inspection show a very little use (chassis is almost new and both arms, chassis and battery door are like new). It's complete, the way it was stored was improper as metal parts are rusted, but it has a very good potential for an nice restoration...

I got this today from Akira Kogawa-san (yes, Kyosho/HPI designer himself) as xmas present.  B)

2 sets of prototype alloy Javelin wheels (extremely rare) and official licensed GoodYear branded Kyosho tires (also extremely rare).. these are historical tires from when the Kyosho Beetle was initially released.   I posted pictures with these wheels and tires on my Javelin in the gallery only thread.  Please check it out if interested.  TIA :D  If I was younger I would've kept the tires in the sealed bag, but you know, I'm like living the last leg so why not.  lol

Wow Willy inne. That's a nice package :).

 

I Just picked up this healthy Terra on tre post store. It is said to be driven twice and compared to my relatibely new TD I see no reason to doubt that. It turned up for sale the same week I had ordered the TD and he has a nice Boomerang for sale av well. When the price dropped last week it was the time. 

 

I'm gonna strip it for the Terra typical stuff like rear universals and sway bar and the adjustable upper arms and put it in my TD.  This Terra will receive a Carson start radiogear I bought last year, a steel pinion (if not present), a Deans connector and a HW 1060 if the BEC on the TBLE is faulty. Then the kids can use it together with me. A Silvercan is quick enough by now. 

 

This was a relatively cheap way to get hold of upgrades for my car and a readily competent chassis for the kids. Way cheaper than getting a No ESC Fire Dragon and fit bearings.

Tired of waiting on one, found a great deal from a seller in Japan. Radio wasn't part of the purchase though.

My display unit! :D.  Took me months of searching for a working "cheap" one.
