The "Postman Brought Me" Thread

[Sammo]

I'm about a week late with this but after spotting this going cheap on eBay I ended up with another car!

Something I didn't notice on the eBay ad was the previous owner, in an effort to keep the motor cool I'm guessing, has drilled a load of holes in the rear casing!

Actually not a bad idea! 🤔

Postman has been with goodies, or rather " Daddies presents here, mummy going to shout" as my 2yr old now says 😕

Kind of pointless stuff now too, 

Dedicated servo, rx, wheels/tyres and Schumacher kf2 shocks, for the now unlikely speed run attempt 😔

Does non-rc stuff belong here? I got 3 bottles of single malt delivered. I'm thinking that a lot of whisky fuels much of what goes on here, I mean really who in their right mind would try and make a toy car go 100kph?!

That is one of the funniest things I have read in a long time, only a 2yo could come up with that.

Going to be a good weekend. The Top Force is on my list for no reason other than it looks so good. The last thing I need is another 4wd buggy!

Now you can grate cheese with it.

Honestly, it doesn't look bad at all.

Glenfiddich has definitely fueled some of my choices/purchases here.

Now I can get rid of the horrible aluminium bits from the gearbox!

[marcod13]

Ferrari F12tdf body arrived today. What detail! Gonna be painted tomorrow (weather pending) and mounted on my TL01 with the driver cockpit.

[Sammo]

Ordered a load of little bits from Modelsport yesterday and was very surprised when they arrived today!

I run my 6900kv on 3s all the time, well about 8 short speed runs... I wouldn't overuse it for more than a couple minutes on 3s for fear of pushing my luck.. which I know I am already doing

I was going to try 2s at first, just to see what kind of beans it's got. 4s is only a wee bit more rpm than the 5700 on 5s.....

Not that I know anything about what you guys are talking about in detail, might as well be Latin or Greek to me, but don't forget one thing, SCALE, a wee bit in 1:10 scale is to be multiplied by 10, so that is 10X a wee bit. Enjoy your fun you guys.

Crash this "fun" just caused me to spend 2 hours replacing a broken chassis on my DF02... scale that's equivalent of going to the cinema and seeing a good film
