The "Postman Brought Me" Thread

[Flerbizky]

Technically, he hasn't brought me anything yet, but managed to find a DTXC7616 Duratrax Baja Engine for project Bump-Steer. It's now on it's way from Cali to Washington, and then to Denmark by a mate who's visiting another mate in said state \o/

Got home to this last night.

Fully chuffed. Have always wanted a Lancia shell. Delivered by Seidel in 2 days for almost the same price as ordering from HKG.

Finally my parcel from Hobbyking - containing the all-important high speed buggy servo. Finally, my Super Fighter GR can be completed!

[grafster]

Wheel hexes and body mounts for my TT-01E. But I've messed up - the body mounts are for a TT-01 and I guess they're different . Luckily they were only £1.27 (from asiatees).

Today, a drill press from Proxxon.

[mongoose1983]

That is the project I purchased all the Proxxon tools for.

I took delivery of my Monster Racer and it is in surprisingly good order and it looks to be very original.

V.happy with this.

I know without photos it didn't happen, I'll get to soon.

Those M chassis dampers make all the difference

Nice! I didn't think a HMR was your thing, impressed!

Postie brought me two bearings for the castle motor in my slash that decided to spit one out, and a nip seat for my Big Bear since the old one had the rear mounts lopped off.

C'mon Neil. Your restorations and builds are great but also a bit secretive. Would be more than awesome if you'd share some pictures of the Big Bear restoration process... there isn't many of those online and would definitely be a pleasure to see!

Thank you berman.

It will replace the King Cabs I sold last year, which I regret!

I also really like the front tyres on the HMR, they are a bit special.

Secretive... The Bear is still in the same condition as my last entry in this thread, primered.

Same with the Bruiser and the Kenworth unfortunately... just haven't had the time to make progress sorry.

Eventually! I have to finish the 502 build thread first and then I might go onto something more vintage.....

[Klausen]

Got these things from Tamico today. I people aren't too happy with the DB02, but I have wanted to build it for quite some time, so now it is bought

[ChrisRx718]

I think it looks kind of quirky - I seriously regret selling my old 4wd buggy (A Dark Impact DF03). The eBay buyer gave me grief too. I just never had the space to run it.

Now I've moved house and we have a massive garden with lawn but it's not all that flat, so my FAV and Turnigy Mini Buggy struggle a bit (OK, the grass needs cutting) but my DF03 would have made mincemeat of it.

I'd love to see one go together, if you have the time to do a build thread.

[MitchellJames]

Not today but only a few days ago.

Also my first toe in to the world 2.4ghz radio gear. The receiver is so small.

Ive also got a parcel at the post office which i think is going to be a TBLE-02 ESC i ordered.

Just waiting for a sport tuned motor on the way from HK

Tamiya PS2 Red and some vintage Mudblaster decals for my Vintage Mudblaster II build....

That Mud Blaster is going to look great with that body finished like the classic one!

You stole my same idea! I'm sure looking forward to see how it turns out.
