The "Postman Brought Me" Thread

[Truck Norris]

From Fusion, thanks guys! More pics and info in my showroom http://www.tamiyaclub.com/showroom_model.asp?cid=126588&id=43050

Saw the VW on the homepage, looks smart. I wonder whether that front bumper style is available separately?

The other concern being that it is pretty widely acknowledged just how easy it is to roll a regular WT01 - how will this cope in cornering?!

First bumper on EBay is mine.......

I'm a bit concerned about how exposed the suspension arms will be though, my current bumper has visible signs of being put to good use...

WR-01 one is not huge though.

A good day today!

The second set of super slicks for the rear end of my Alfa.

More parts for my planned DF-02 Gravel Hound rebuild.

Few bits and bobs for my M0-3.

And a set of multispoke wheels that were so cheap at Banzai that I had to buy them!

[i_am_scarecrow]

Icing on the cake! This just arrived too!

Now to find an FF-03!

Given the near ubiquity of SCTs at the race tracks around here, and how pessimistic many of the tracks are about getting enough 2WD buggies to show up to make a class I ordered this up partly as "insurance". By that I mean if we show up to a track and my son can't race his Desert Gator because he's the only 2WD buggy we have a fall back position. I also wanted a "loaner" car for when we go to the track on practice days we have something a buddy of his can run to join in on the fun. We haven't run it yet. All I've done is water break-in the motor and add adhesive foam donuts to the body holes. I'll need to change over the Tamiya connector on the ESC to a Deans as well.

PM me if you are in search of an original set

find original madcap. In France...

[Effigy3]

And a Kyosho Ultima SC6 for yourself?

Dorvack.

I need to get my TRF 201X built before I get any more cars for myself. Plus, my daughters birthday is in two days and she's getting a Pink Neo Scorcher. We'll build that together so I reckon I have my hands full for a while. If this SCT goes over well, I might get my son a "proper" race SCT for his birthday in June.

How much pre-building have you done on the Pink Neo? Hope the birthday build goes well!

Quite a tatty Hornet body that I'll modify and try out a paint scheme I thought of when the winter build off was started [emoji57]

[Grumpy pants]

I've been away for a few days and I've come back to 3 small deliveries.

12 black alloy wheel nuts.

Crimping tool-TWINSET recommendation.

Window hinges for my M38-Dojo Dave, thanks buddy.

Very happy, a small amount of money well spent imo!

I'm trying to finish/enjoy/make the most of what I have instead of constantly buying more cars and projects that need time and money I don't have. It's tough love, but I'm sort of getting there : )

4 x sport tuned motors

2 x Tamiya TEU-106BK

2 x F Parts from Chrome Clod Buster

Any ideas what's being built ?

So, what has the Postman brought you today ?

[ChrisRx718]

^ Hopefully nothing twin-engined, as the Sport Tuned motors spin at a different speed forward to backward don't they?

I have ear-marked my electronics in anticipation of my Jimny build. Yup, the one we aren't likely to see until late June / early July!

Hobbywing 1060 ESC

HK3100 Receiver

Blue Bird BMS-631 servo

un-decided on motor yet, I might put something with high-turns in it for a more scale speed...

Today was a big day for the postman and me. All the rest of the parts for my TRF 201X build arrived along with a shock building stand (inspired by Nobbi1977) and a low voltage alarm which will find a home in my sons Desert Gator for the races this weekend. We're making the move to LiPo for racing but the TBLE-02S ESC doesn't have a low voltage cutoff. A major oversight by Tamiya IMHO.

[chriss76]

Today brought a titanium turnbuckle wrench and another avante torque slipper.

I think I have more than I need now :-)

I'm not sure why, but that really made me laugh!

[Axeboy]

Was on holiday for a few weeks but got a few treats waiting for me. Thanks to JimGTR for the Madcap

The Ligier was a bargain. Didn't expect a box or the spare body, seems decent

Got a bit of a backlog now. Couple of madcaps, a Club10 and the Ligier. I need to stop buying for a while!

[ChrisRx718]

I did a count up the other day when someone notified the forum they were back in stock. Turns out I already had 4 spares, so I held back on ordering any more - for now!

[Nobbi1977]

I just put one in a model and counted boxes and that will be enough for the current wait list. Need less temptation or more space.

[Cooltoys]

Got some spare wr02 chassis for a painting project...

[80sBasher]

3 cans of Tamiya PS paint, another fly sky controller and a super sport motor for the Frog build I'm working on bit by bit,
