Good call - except I needed one set!

... I kid, of course; my Astute's tires are still in good shape. A nice acquisition, then!

Unfortunately, arrivals in the post are few and far between for me the past month, but a new-to-me chassis will be on its way...

Good god, did you buy all the parts available from shapeways ? - that box looks rather large !

I thought so too, here's what's inside.

Think they may have run out of smaller boxes what with everyone ordering Toykids FAV engines

The ebay addiction continues.

Screw for the Plasma Edge, a Gravel Hound and a Bear Hawk... plus a chassis for another purchase, **** it

The Gravel Hound is in awesome condition with loads of upgrades, very impressed. Almost looks like new... so I think it will be my new designated runner.

7 old Japanese Tamiya magazines. I have Vol. 7, 9, 13-16 and 24. They are full of pictures of older Tamiya touringcars, including a few pages full of 'tuned' Tamiya's in every issue. I really like period hopups from other makes for Tamiya cars, so these 'tuned' pages are my favorite! Full Tech Racing spec'd M02's, crazy modified FF01's and more

A small order from Hobbyking UK warehouse (high torque servos and a couple of capcitors) via parcelforce.

Hoping for some other bits n bobs when normal postie calls.

More Monster Beetle bits - Sand Scorcher driver tree (with nose cone), rear universal joints, some rubber and oil bits for a suspension rebuild and a ridiculously expensive pair of parts trees for the **** spot light bar. I also got some milliput so I can start fixing up the Barbies.

Looks like old Team Losi shocks. If they are, they are old but very good! Pro racers used to swap those on everything, even team drivers from other brands.

[Axeboy]

Thanks for that mate, appreciated

Collecting from the depot is a good way to keep my other half's eyes off incoming boxes, particularly relevant when the box is a HUGE one...

Nice artwork..

Where's the rest of it ??

Got a couple of cheapy 2.4 digital sets to replace my old AM/FM radio gear.
