The "Postman Brought Me" Thread

midnight pumpkin... just the name of file!

black and flame! You've to turn rear wheel left and right!

[Percymon]

We have a winner !

yes it needs a full strip and rebuild - 10mm of dust on the chassis, original nicd still in place



just need to think what to do with it, thoughts so far..

• tow mator from Cars ?
• rusty wreck
• rebuild in box art
• rebuild in same scheme as my recent Clod Buster

Already have tyres, tyre foams, red plated wheels, red wheelie bar, yellow or white CVAs , sport tuned motor and ESC to hand so pretty much anything goes I guess !

[mastino]

Surely you'll find a way to have fun, that's the important thing.

My new project arrived today.

And the first of many parts for the charity build.

Sorry about the beer box. Lol. Was struggling to find a box for the grasshopper body bearings should be taped inside.

I was kind of upset to be honest.

I see a beer box, and not a drop of the stuff to be seen , I had to go out and buy my own beer.

Picked up today. One original Clod Buster with Chevy logo on the front grill and in writing on the back Very complete car including new TEU106BK ESC and a full set of ball bearings. Only thing missing are the fog lamps on the upper bar. I guess i can still get these. Needs a full strip and restore before i'll let my son get his first driving experience.

The body is also in ver good shape. I actually like the 2 tone paint job but my son wants it to be blue. I maybe buy him another shell and keep the vintage parts stored away safely Also planned to build in some LEDs lateron

A good postie day today

Got this so I don't have to keep crawling around on the floor if I drop a screw or three

Got my second Boomer too, now I can start the resto project soon for both of these

And a Cake Board...

Why the Cake Board? Well now I can do this

[Boothy]

Private video mate, the excitement of what u can do with a cake board is killing me

Quiet post day for me but just ordered 2x rx and 4x servos

[TamTom]

2x Technipower motors. One is lightly used, the other one mint with no decal. Will have to solder new wires on the mint one. Also got two early 380 motors for my F2 cars or other purpose. 1 is like new, the other little used.
