From RCM a small order to avoid double tax. Their postage cost and time had certainly improved from last year but they are still 20% more expensive so I tends to go AT when possible.

F103 Carbon uprights (going into the Frog since I found a pack for my F104 after ordering), DF-03 heat sink (for thr FF-03), Kyosho NSR500 front chassis holder (more hopups from AT, they do not have this one) and TA-02 hard prop shaft.

Honestly silver color is perfectly fine with me, but since it only came in blue..  The TRF turnbuckles easily get damaged using steel wrench so I hope this prevents future scuffs.

Today I got the right motor for my TB Evo 5…a Super Stock TZ.

And I still had ball bearings in stock to replace the brass bushings.

Very odd. I can see them today!

My M-08R was delivered today but I wasn't in the office. :(

Those are the replacement pads I need @toyolien! From where did you source them?

They were from Tony's Tamiya parts.

Umm, who is this for then? 

I need to coach my son to ask for a Boomerang for his birthday, I have one already but he doesn't, and we all know that Tamiya peaked with the Boomerang

Tony's Tamiya Parts on Ebay. Not sure if he's got any left but might be worth asking.

TamiyaUSA has them if you're in the USA.  

Those plastic jaws break much too easily imho..  I bought several jaw replacements last year.. already went through 2 packs..

Got a new radio for my optima mid and cougar classic, also a superstock rz and probably keeping my cougar brushed.

Finally picked up my M08R and the bouncy bits for another couple of cars.

I’ll consider this a bargain as the whole lot was £30 under the price of an M08R at Modelsport.

I really might have to consider selling off some of my M03s and M04s though as they won’t get used and I’m running out of space. I hate letting go of stuff though :(

Nice. I'm looking to get a 3PV as well. I found that it's cheaper to order one from RCmart than my local Hobby store, even with shipping and exchange.
