The "Postman Brought Me" Thread

[jeekelemental]

New stuff for my SA:

and a pair of Vans for me

[JLZ78]

A half decent soldering station. Hopefully goodbye to rubbish solder joints.

[Dojo Dave]

I think I have just received the best value Rc ever.... a dark impact for under $145 usd shipped and no duties.

Two bargains in 2 days.... something is a foot...

[cosworthwesty]

Where did you bag those awesome dampers from my friend.

Steve.

Hi Steve the dampers came from banzai absolute bargain.

They've been out of stock for the last 3 weeks.

I guess I ordered mine over two weeks ago, they seem to be restocking fairly quick at banzai now days.

Ordered a set last night for my db01 lol. Just priced their df03 aluminium dampers £25 delivered via SAL. Unbelievable.

Canada Post tells me my latest package is on a delivery truck. I had to leave one hour after the mail was supposed to arrive, meaning I will no doubt get a slip once I return!

The ONE day Canada Post is late...

Something for a rainy day

OK so it's not vintage, (2003) but it is boxed part built and completely unused, plus I don't actually have a TT01

It's raining today, have you built it yet?

It's been sunny where I am, football, tamiyas and ice creams with the family

Got some GPM CVDs through for my DF-02 today since I lost the dog bones in the park the other week.

Can someone please tell me where the washers go though and why?

[i_am_scarecrow]

Parts for my TL-01LA build have been arriving slowly, today was a good day!

[Grumpy pants]

My TB02 Porker arrived from T.C member Sandster.

All good, hopefully this will see some track time at Snetterton in the next couple of months.

[kaylon]

A fastrax shock set for my lunchbox, a mint nip QD monster beetle shell for my restoration... And a fighter buggy rx shell... Was a good post day

Received all the bits to assemble a racing steering set for an avante. Now I only need an avante to put it in

[Truck Norris]

This week's haul, arrived yesterday and today.

Proline F250 and Twin Detonator bodies:

Two perfect condition Jugg suspension arms sets courtesy of Tamiyabigstuff and a slightly bashed up but still new set from the US.

More Jugg parts, see my project thread if you wonder why I'm buying TLT and Egress parts!

Couple of TBLE-02s, wheels, smoke parts and replacement wing for my DF-03MS. Parts to build TRF501x dampers for my Durga:

Bits for a couple of new projects:

Bargain £90 XV-01 kit from Tamico:

But who wants a Subaru XV? Not me!

Works out cheaper than buying the XV-01 Delta kit, which is nice.

My guess is that they are like the GPM CC-01 CVDs, where the washers go on the axles before you put them through the bearings, to reduce side-to-side play.

Finally, a photo of the ball bearings:

Turns out the mailman did not deliver it yesterday, but chose to deliver it today. Somebody was home, but then the mailman asked for import charges! It is now being held in some random post office not that far from here, but definitely further than I expected, and without a 1:1 car it is not as simple. On top of that, it is only being made available on the day I leave the city!

I know Canada Post may not be entirely responsible, but they get my animosity for now... Exactly why they delayed a day is beyond me, and as a student I have little time or patience for customs. It sounds strange when I had enough money to purchase an entire kit, but seriously, it does feel a little like adding insult to (pocketbook) injury.

That is just the way it goes, though, and complaining about it too much will do nothing. So, we wait until Monday if not later... But at least I got a cockpit:

Yes, this will do quite well...

Nice, I've got the DF03RA Delta, but my son has claimed it as his own now so may have to get myself an XV

Do it! The XV-01 chassis is miles better than the DF03ra chassis. You won't regret it.
