The "Postman Brought Me" Thread

[Peter_B 997]

Today the postie brought a re-release Hotshot prop shaft and set of prop shaft joints.

Yesterday, I received some radshape suspension mounts, some lexan scissors and a pair of sprue cutters.

Thursday it was an rcbearings ballrace set, plus extra rubber shielded bearings.

Earlier in the week a Core RC radio set, charger and servo were delivered.

All of the above for the Boomerang kit that I picked up yesterday.

Quiet week then @Peter_B 🙄😁

[Peter_B 997]

@Wooders28 yeah fairly quiet considering that's the first RC stuff I've bought for over 20 years

Next week I'm expecting some paint, masking tape and LiFe battery pack for the transmitter. I did actually already get a battery pack, but didn't pay close enough attention and ordered the wrong one, so will have to return it.

What chassis is the Alpine A110 on? I really like those in 1:1 but won't ever own one, but a little version...

I know this should be in a different thread, but does that mean the body would fit the M05? That is a common class here that most clubs race and I have toyed with it as the second class if I do buy a touring car.

Are there any bearings left for others to buy? Does that kit need all of them, or do you stock up every so often?

My TBLE-02S arrived today so my Bommerang can go again. Seems strange that I can get one from the other side of the world for 1/3 of the price locally

I normally buy in batches.... thought ivbought a lot when I bought 48 normal and 30 of the smaller..... the gf06 takes like 36 total so I won't have too many left after that build.... maybe enough to finish my tlt01 that I'm gonna sell.... I hope.

I think I checked the tracking on this parcel so many times I'll be reported for stalking.

If it makes you feel any better, I have been known to partake in a bit of parcel stalking before... it's because the 'excitement' to 'is it here yet' ratio gets askew.

Haha I think you're in the majority, once my stuff is in the country I'll be pacing around the house, looking at the letterbox and checking the tracking every 10mins. Well it feels like that anyway

The time between "Left origin" and "Arrived at destination" is the roughest.  It feels like I'm NASA tracking Apollo 13.

I was at home and happened to notice a courier van park outside a house down the street.  You'd think I was a kid seeing Santa Claus.
