The "Postman Brought Me" Thread

Recommended Posts

Got these. Bought them late at night from Scale4x4.org after PM'ing someone in America. I should have slept on the decision really!

I have no use for them. The tyres are way too big to go on my Jimny.

They're 1.55 stamped steel beadlocks, scale hardware and RC4WD Mud Thrashers.

I'm thinking of de-Jurassic Park-ing the Pajero and building an all-out scale rig with these more capable tyres. They do look fantastic.

Or if someone wants them for £60, I'll just move them on quickly without losing much change from a fiver!

I think little Jimny is already quite capable, even with the limited choice of 1.9" tyres...

Yeah, Its restoration is now done so no worries. I was joking a couple months that every time I mentioned a restoration project, parts $$$ shot through the roof.

Nice!

Do the cabs come pre-painted or unpainted?

Dorvack.

They come in the usual white styrene, although there is a blue pre-painted cab version of the 6x4 and an orange pre-painted version of the 4x2. There is also a metallic version and then the pre built versions I think. I nearly had to order the blue one as this one was on hold but the guy backed out, so it worked out for me B)

I think that air filter might be overkill on an RC car.

Lol,

Never overestimate the benefits of overkill. :)

Is that a nitro?

Reminds me of the legendary Inlaws & Outlaws Jim Brockman multichampion puller!

Does having a bloke's head mounted on the bonnet make it faster? :)

Not delivered, but picked up a local find young kid offering up the balance of his rc collection for $50. A mini Losi buggy worth maybe 40 on its own an old nitro buggy I'll probably break down clean and sell....and the thing I went for wait for it. Vintage kyosho Big Brute 1b0732c03e73bdb2d1795c3d12d6fed1.jpg4828fc12945fbda94d3e191f5b601cec.jpg045bca1ab4ebf68247213a437fa9f11b.jpg7a08e5118f0c232f4afeb25bf3b9e718.jpg

Made my day. Thought it was maybe a big bear but this is even better.. I asked the kid. What's that? He said I don't know I think I got it for 10 at yard sale...
