Had a few bits recently including couple of servos, some wire and a 17.5T brushless motor from Hobbyking.

Also got this in

Just a pic of the label as I couldn't get a clear pic of the body.

Couldn't believe it when I stumbled on a site that said they had 1 of these in stock, at a reduced price as well - never mind the £19.99 the pic shows. I got it for £9.99. Brand new complete with decals for the lights etc.

I've not seen any others available anywhere. That might be the last one.

Which site was it?

Much appreciated, they have some great stock including a couple of things I have been after but navigating the site is hard work. No wonder they don't pick up on google as all the prices are only shown on mouse over for me.

Small but important.

Cricket bat tape, shims to take the play out of DT02 front wheels

And the long awaited front body mounts for my truck build! Hurrah! 🎉🎺🎊

My Tamiya side cutters and Scorcher ball joints have turned up.

Very happy boy

That was the custom edition! a family friend fell in love with it and asked if he could buy it off me for his kids (for Xmas) I agreed (stupidly), a few weeks ago I went around said friends house and I seen it in the toy box broken shredded body and no back wheels!........heart breaking knowing the hours I'd put into it😢!, So it no longer exists really!.

Its sad to say, but that was me in my youth. I had an assortment of rare by today's standards Tamiya's, and I used and abused them. But maybe those kids will learn from it and become collectors, like us.

 

I got my Volkswagen Type2 bearing set in today, and my QX90 mini quad, and assorted quad parts. The radio for the Volkswagen should be here tomorrow. So construction can begin later today.

New pot of my comma high performance bearing grease which is vastly superior anti wear and gear grease especially at £7 per 500g as the old one had lasted me ages. Also some humbrol model filler.

Really mundane but practical delivery. 

[Wooders28]

An esc with a bit more oomph and a new micro receiver.

Not Tamiya, but a pretty under rated RC IMO. been wanting one for some time but theyre old and dont pop up too often.  They have the potential to be beastly though as they have a similar type rear end like the Type-C cars do. Wish Traxxas had done more with these.

Sunday courrier always good. That's a fully original Jugg 1 including the axles and centre box and it still runs!!!

Are those the ones from the auctions that finished last night?

That's fantastic service if so.

Those blue mounts look a LOT like the ones I waited a month for to try and stealth mount my bodies to an M04 chassis.

Not all of this arrived today, but a good chunk of it which means I now have everything I need to start my summer project - Terra Conqueror Evolution. Going to start a build thread although it's going to be a little while before I can properly get going.

Got some Fibre Lyte parts for future Top Force Build

[moffman]

This little beauty turned up today 😄!,  The body is almost perfect no scratches split's etc  grill is perfect! Under the body is good just need a real good clean and polish I'm going to take it all apart and replace all the rubber grommet's and hopefully the electrics and servo's all fire up!

Today I've had a set of 8 TXT-2 shocks that are destined for my Super Clodbuster.

A Super Clodbuster screw bag B, because I need a couple of flange nuts and that bag gives me loads as well as some other spare screws for my sticks.

Also had a set of MCI Blackfoot decals arrive. Whilst I was ordering those, and to make the most of the shipping, I also ordered a set of Procat decals and a window mask for a TBG Procat body.

 A set of bearings for a Konghead from Stellamodels. Although debating whether I still want a konghead anymore.

Who wouldn't want a Konghead?! Although if you decide not to go ahead you won't need to buy bearings ever again...

I am sure it would be a good build, but don't have a lot of time and would like to spend the money elsewhere. Going to drop $800 on two front tyres for my 1:1 tomorrow... would like to spend it on that.

Ouch, and they are arguably more important than a Konghead. Maybe. At least you got a mini recently to get the rc fix

[Supercoolnothing]

My Kyosho hi rider corvette chassis arrived today along with my first tamiya mini 4wd which is a brocken gigant black special. I'm looking forward to getting stuck in and building both but they're both currently living in the boot of my car to keep them hidden from Mrs SCN and to keep my head on my shoulders.

Yeah but it's a second vehicle (another toy).

Oh well, caved... 😶

Pictures of the Corvette would be awesome! I'm working on mine these days. Just got some bearings in it to get rid of the original plastic bushings.

Hobbywing 860. Going to try it in my txt-1 just for curiosities sake. I have some 17t pinions on the way and some sport tuneds on stand by.
