What are the chances a tlbe-02 ESC will run these?

You should have no problem provided you've got the TBLE-02s configured for brushed motors. I have a heck of a time discerning when that LED is "orange". To me it looks like it goes green-red-red. I can't see the orange but my wife tells me there is a difference however slight. Once it's in brushed mode I find it to be a smooth and decent ESC.

I spoke too soon :P

My original 50344 tires to complete my stock Grasshopper II restoration came in today. She's done!

Received my package from RC mart today for a HobbyWing Quick Run ESC.
Guess what? The inside box is empty. The outer box flap is sealed with the postal form and the bottom is taped.

What the.......

That's a bit alarming!

I also ordered one of these recently - hope mine turns up. Is there anything you can do with regards to the mail service?

The "proper" drill chuck for my 3mm tap arrived from Hong Kong today. As did 2 sets of FTX rims for my daughters surprise birthday present Pink Neo Scorcher.

Today i´ve got a Lunchbox and a Montero/Pajero wheelie which i will spend some mini shocks and "Brat" tyres.

I also get, Ballberings, 2 sets of white C.V.A. shocks short (8 piece), 1 set of white C.V.A. shocks mini (4 piece), Paint & Primer, 3M thrustrod, & other stuff...

I would like to post some pictures, but i haven`t get the functions in the forum yet.

But i will learn to understand how to post links & pictures for future projects.

Finally got my TA-02 solid prop from HK yesterday evening.

I say "finally" not because the post was slow, but because it's a mod I've wanted to make since the second I opened the box - somewhere around 20 years ago!

Today I received some nice clear blue limited edition Tamiya 18 spoke wheels for my Laguna BTCC build, which in turn will be painted PS30 Brilliant Blue as per the body. And yes you can paint plastic with PS paints which gives a nice finish (but dries 10x faster than TS paint) :)

Body will be washed, dried, masked and painted today all ready for decals and accessories. :)

The old ones had a bit of life left, but they needed changing as I was losing confidence in them when pushing on :D

The orders placed to get back into this hobby should be slowing down considerably very soon. ;)

This order brought a car carrier: 3 drawers for our 3 cars. I got the A parts sprue, reinforced front suspension arms, backup ball differential springs and a new tube of grease as well (just in case), and extra strip of ball end dust protector foam donuts for my TRF 201X.

Got the M-05Ra uprights to see if I can get a little more clearance on my 4x4 Rally Mini ... Or maybe fit them to the new Jimny kit later this year :)

Only thing I got in the post today was a Microsoft Surface 3 to replace my Microsoft Surface 1 which has been bullet proof over the last 2 year and an absolute godsend when we went for out mortgage at the beginning of the year :) So far so good, its very quick and speedy and the portability is a real plus point for me :)

It seems to be quite clean, other than flakey paint, couldn't help myself, threw in a ESC and receiver and drove it for about an hour this afternoon.

I can see why everyone loves a Top Force.

Is there a definitive way to tell a 58100 from a re re?

Arent Astute tyres 1.9" same as the Madcap? They might be a bit loose, but a few rubber bands might take up the slack if added to the rim first?

Schumacher T652 2.0" front tyres from modelsportUK. I hope they fit on my Astute.

PM me if you are in search of an original set ;)
