So Mr B , Does this mean your going to have to paint is red then ..  

Makes you have that  sick feeling when you see the box & how they could deliver it like that .  

BUT At least the RC is all good apart from the colour that you can change   .

Unfortunately it looks to be the courier here (judging by the crinkles in the NZ Post stickers) and the box is meant to contain 4x forklifts and there is the one I bought and enough air packets to fill the space of 1 more so half the shipping box was empty  and I would hazard a guess that a million other parcels have been loaded on top.

Yeah will paint it red (don't see many other coloured Linde H40ds with a google search) and weather it, (dings and scratches etc) will also replace the driver with either a Tamiya or more than likely a Verkerk driver

So , you ordered the dents & scratchers then , by the look of it  ..  Where did you buy it from ? .

Postman brought my son a steel 25T pinion direct from England.  When I told him that a "random" person on the forums wanted to help him out with his TT-02 build, his eyes got wide and he said, "Oh my gosh!  Really?"  So thank you Nobbi1977 for helping to show my boy that the world really is a small place with many kind and caring people.

Tower sent my dirt web 4wd fronts and proline dirt hawgs 3 for my tt02b ms. Now I can't wait until I have time to build

Lol! Ebay.. someone called D-Edition.de. So if you want to pay €65 in shipping and get a half**** wrapped parcel and your message ignored, buy through them

Well, more what the Postman didn't bring me 7 months ago...

Received an email from Banzai Hobby saying that a parcel I had ordered on the 11th of November has recently been returned to them! They will either resend it or refund me (minus the shipping cost). Pretty amazing service I thought! I have products in my basket on Banzai so it makes it a very easy decision to place my next order as soon as the refund appears!

Top banana.

[GooneyBird]

Good move by Banzai. I wonder why it got returned though. 

I got some much-anticipated stuff today; 6 foam car stands, a roll of servo tape, a receiver controlled switch for the Pajero, TT01 heat sink and 8 Tamiya radial tires with +2 rims for the Tamiya cup. 

 

[Badcrumble]

The wheels for my Bowler project arrived today. I have ordered paint and tyres so no more excuses, I should have everything I need to complete it very soon - must push to get it finished.

This is really geeky to remember it, but there's a connection between your username and the CRX - in Grand Theft Auto IV the "Blista" was a car which was actually based on the Honda CRX. They obviously don't use licensed vehicles but it's very obvious this is what the Blista is meant to represent! I'd post up a picture but I'm on my mobile and it's a kerfuffle.

Blista Compact originally appeared in GTA Vice City. He probably knows, hence his username.

 

[Blista]

Yup, that is indeed the origin of my username.  Was a big fan of the GTA series, and I have to drive a Honda for adults these days so a Tamiya CRX is the next best thing.  That image of the Blista Compact is basically the paint job I'll be going for.  Just deciding between an M05 Pro Ver.II or stock M05 with a few basic hop-ups.

Postman brought me some more antennas, this time from Stellamodels 

 

[Snappy1]

I gave each a quick test, I was surprised at how much punch the Acto Power has

[berman]

Not that I condone this but big T doesn't make a 20ft...

 

[Flerbizky]

Some machined things from RC4WD. That company aces my overall list for friendly service!

[matman]
