Got a slightly used Avante 2011 today. It came with a Carson 40 mhz. radio and Carson servo, an extra body and a few other things. Motor and esc was not included, but for 200$ I am quite satisfied.

Today my back order Manta Ray chassis tub turned up - thankfully it made it onto the August ship having missed the July one !

Also various imperial bearings and a load of silicon carbide diff balls for the RC10s :D

I'll have to bend the rules here as I actually went and picked this up from Dazza1's house but I got this (complete with realistic (read: real) mud effect).

Thanks Daz, can't wait to get this even more hopped up than it already is and get scale crawling!

PerthRC , that's where Al works . The one that had the Blue 4x4 ute on our rc day .

Alot of fun ...

perthrc.com.au .

Was up there a month or so back & went too see Al & this was on the floor .

Talked too him & this just wanted too come home with me , so it did :D . $1600. bucks later .

I have got some upgrades to help it & that's about it < It's just me needing them :P ...

Al wants one as well , so do a few others in the group . Camping weekends are coming WOOHOO!! .

So with the rc's & motorcross bikes it a great weekend .

I had done an order from them a year or so ago & one lot came & the other came from the other shop & that took 4 weeks :( .

Small parcel & it looked like it was stuck in a mail sorting rollers ?. But it will turn up .

Cheers matman - i'm sure it will. I emailed Tower yesterday not really expecting anything back but they did respond in 30 minutes with a mail receipt number which supposedly gives limited tracking information, although I've not been able to get it to work on USPS or RoyalMail systems.

I can't do any proper RC work til Tuesday and I'm away the week after so it doesn't really matter if they take another 2 weeks, just I hate waiting :D

Be careful with the grafitti remover Steve - test an inconspicuous part or a scrap piece first ;)
