The "Postman Brought Me" Thread

1 new pair of ball diff joints for my Zahhak kit.

Original kit ones are plastic, they warp very easily. The new TRF 201 items are much better quality

Should stop the ball diff from slipping

2 new high torque servo savers

[SteveU30]

2 pairs of lexan scissors, 1 straight and 1 curved.

I got a call today at about 3pm and a little voice on the phone said "Daddy, There is a big parcel for you" I asked if she had opened in and was told "No, Mummy won't let me. Please come home". So, before I was able to put my bag down, this is what was happening:

After much excited pulling of tape (and a little help from Daddy after he managed to put everything down) the big box was opened to find...

She is so excited about her first car that she wants to start building NOW! Please Daddy, can we, please?

I can't wait either Oh, there was also a set of M-Chassis TRF dampers in there as well, the 54000 ones.

DF03 hard type turnbuckle set, and a set of 3 racing blue anodized 4.8mm ball studs. Both arrived after 4 days from Japan to Aberdeen, Scotland.

Also received a used Madcap from a TC member, its a little rough round the edges but just what I wanted as a project, also had an alloy motor mount and cva shocks all round.

Today

8 Traxxas E Maxx shocks

4 Traxxas Summit shocks - man these are beefy !

M05 carbon shock mount

and collected the new set of Clod tyres from the mail depot

[s howell]

A new set of body shell scisors and a willy body set

Got a feeling this will look a litttle strange to some as most are going the other way,

I am also doing a willy head on the jack body.

[Percymon]

Jack Osbourne in a strait jacket - seems pretty good to me

[Grastens]

I was thinking the same thing!

Today, a Tamiya - HPI micro adapter and a set of Tamtech crystals arrived. I would have photos, but have yet to transfer items over from my soon-to-be exterminated Inageshack account...

[DaveB]

Today, an alloy shock tower from Fortuna Racing for my Manta Ray resto:

[IBIFTKH]

NIB re-re Blitzer Beetle

[bromvw]

So Rob will it stay standard or do you have a ' Cunning Plan ' ?

[IBIFTKH]

Not sure yet. I'll build it fairly stock and see where it goes from there. The only mods planned for now are the bump steer mod and a change of colour (blue instead of black, probably). I've got some bits and pieces for sale on the bay, if any of that goes I'll use the money for a brushless set up. And I'd like adjustable upper arms for it but I'm not sure which ones fit. Any ideas?

[bromvw]

I think the DF 03 hop up link kit is what I used mate for both the top links and steering rods . Adjustable camber makes a huge difference to how tuneable the handling is . If you go brushless make sure you fit touring car hard cups as the originals soon wear out . BTW the supper grippers are pants and soon wear on tarmac - more so with brushless . Proline Dirt Dawgs seem to work best . 13 T is about the limit - I used a 9 T and its too much . Fun but not very drivable .

[IBIFTKH]

Cheers buddy, much appreciated.
