Rally Legends wheels and tyres (£20 all in) for my TA03RS chassis when it arrives.

Great service, I can't really comment on quality it's the 1st time I've bought any!

R clips, (£10 all in) because I never seem to have enough. From Timetunnel, great service as well.

White CVA dampers arrived for my DT02 Rough Rider

Looks like I'll be able to modify these with parts from the kit friction shock and have white oil filled dampers on the front and back

I was moaning about the office at work today being messy when it turned out one of the boxes was for me.

It turned out to be my TA03RS Porsche for my Lancia 037.

It arrived last Wednesday and nobody told me, I soon stopped moaning!

Keeping with the Lancia 037 theme, my wheels arrived from Japan today. Just waiting on the tyres now:

Over the last while, our postie brought me the following...

A nice new shell from a RTR CC01 Pajero:

...And a Proline roof rack, a single Fastrax Kong tyre, a pair of stock CC01 Pajero wheels, a Junfac spare wheel mount, some 1/10 scale luggage and a set of spotlights:

I am sure we all know where this is going...

Where'd you get the scale luggage?

I've been looking at things on eBay and spotted some dolls house items which are a similar scale (1/12) but a lot of the items designed specifically for RC seem too expensive for what they are, especially on my budget!

I got the scale luggage from a dolls' house shop in Cheddar, but I have seen similar items in many other places selling dolls' house gear. Strictly speaking they are 1/12 scale, but to my eye a large 1/12 scale suitcase looks just like a slightly smaller 1/10 scale suitcase, so I just went for the biggest ones they had. They measure up at 1/10 scale compared to the suitcases I take on holiday, so I'm happy!

I've done similar . I wanted a cool box but the 1/10 ones are over priced . I found a 1/12 one on the bay and its even loaded with scale beer cans lol

[ChrisRx718]

I couldn't find anything 'decent' on eBay running dolls house searches, and there aren't any decent hobby shops selling such items nearby either

I'll have to have another look!

my hoped up Dyna Storm arrived !!! Acto power pinkmotor to boot yay, and a brilliant price thanks nokemyster !!

More a case of what the Postman didn't bring . Yesterday I had the usual little red ' collect from the depot ' card on the doormat when I got up ( working the graveyard shift this week ) . Ok no problem - or so I thought . My Wife kindly offered to pick it up this morning . Only one problem . Its NOT there !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! . They may have lost it . Whats that all about then? . I know our postie - he's a honest bloke and he lives nearby so I gave him a ring . The item was returned to the depot yesterday afternoon . These Royal Muppets had better find it and if its in any way damaged I will raise badword . As this is my custom painted driver figure its not exactly something that can easily be replaced . Greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer.

Rant Over

[IBIFTKH]

If it helps put your mind at rest it shouldn't be easily damaged - the figure parts are individually wrapped and in a box (not a jiffy bag). I just hope they find it - quickly!!!!

If they don't their going to see the effect of a ex soldier losing his temper - and they really don't want that to happen

[SteveU30]
