Alloy shock towers for my Rising Storm, just in time for my trip to the beach today!

[Theibault]

Just received a TRF101W from Stella. Once again, great shipping and quick. Glad I picked out up as I had missed out on the TRF101 originally.

[alfagta]

A cheapo 6ch tx and some smoke PS spray

[XV Pilot]

A pack of 25 500ml plastic containers of the type usually associated with the local Chinese takeaway:

They are to be used as car stands, to keep the wheels from touching the shelf and deforming the tyres while on display. Neat and unobtrusive, they should look better than the motley selection of boxes, spraycan lids and other odd items I am using at the moment!

What is that over there!?

OH NO! It's... It's a...

This should be a fun project. My Sherman will finally have an opponent. One that severely outclasses it no less.

So, what has the Postman brought you today ?

[Grumpy pants]

I'm also very happy, I got these 1st Edition Ranger rims and tyres, NOS.

The right early deep dish front rims for my small front arch Ranger.

The sprue says '1981'.

I've decided I would prefer to have 5 models that are just right, in preference to 25 that aren't quite right, I'm sure this makes sense to lots of you.

[NWarty]

Frog stuff

And a new XL2P

Also got the camber issue fixed and rear window template done (used original body as a guide and fit it over the new one)

Are you including the Mountaineer and Super Champ re-re's in that statement?

[Psylence]

Are you including the Mountaineer and Super Champ re-re's in that statement?

Didn't see the SC, saw the Mountaineer. Already did up a bruiser as soon as they hit, so I'm not sure I need a Mounty.

On the other hand, I *need* a BigWig and 959 re-re!

[SteveU30]

Ha ha, I think a lot of people 'need' a re-re 959!

[mr crispy]

I couple of Tower Pro knock off MG996R 10kg metal gear servos. Ones going straight into my SCX10 build so I should get it driving today

Not exactly today but in the last two days I got a very rare in great condition Radio Control Guide Book with the Brabham BT50 on cover page together with a 1982 Catalogue. I always loved and love to read in these old books. Also an extremely rare nib Honda Formula 2 gearbox and two sets of original vintage Tyrrell P34 rear wheels with tyresand a nib 936/Countach gear case with motor set.
