The "Postman Brought Me" Thread

Recommended Posts

Another tatty Corvette shell for the Kyosho HiRider2 that my mate gave me.  Not sure why I bought it really, the holes are in the wrong place for my chassis, and it's not much better than the old one (which is the plain blue one if you were wondering...). :wacko:

Yellow CVA kit for my new lunchbox.

It now has an indescribable combination of refinement and crudeness but it's good!

Photobucket has decided not to play ball this afternoon but I received a slightly crumpled box (thanks DHL) from Tamico which included a Giulia body, decals, chrome parts and wheels. Also got some paint prep supplies including polycarbonate paint remover for when I mess up my paintwork...

Had these 2 turn up today, I fancied a different colour shell for my F150 SRB but couldn't bring myself to touch the original body & decals already on it:

RCMart delivered some new bits.

4 x M Chassis wheels (those chrome Minilites are pretty nice)

4 x M Chassis Foams

4 x M Chassis tyres 

4 x Ford Motorsport 1/10 white rims

4 x Honda JAZ 1/10 white rims (this will require buying a Honda Civic Type R shell in the future)

Some silver cans arrived, don't seem as well, rounded, as my other 540's (as in, almost sliced my finger open on the, press steel end bell burrs!), but for less than £3 each!? 

6527's any good?

Nice dependable motors, that's the spec of the kit motors.

Where did you find them so cheap?

If you've bought alot from hobbyking, you get discounts (I think it starts after 10 successful sales?), so I got a mate to order them when he did an order.

 

*Edit* - it's after 2, but better discounts after 11 sales.

Over the weekend I had a new built FAV  arrive. Then pointed out to my buddy Mud a cheaper one. And then another cheaper one. This one has those awesome alloy wheels so there's a bonus. Just love these chassis. Sorry no pictures as I've been at my upload limit for a while. It will be in my showroom soon. Also updated my showroom pictures with the latest in the stable.

Well, speaking of FABULOUS... I picked up this Mad Fighter for a song... figured Id get it as a runner for the neighbors to play with, that And this is the 1st Acoms radio Ive ever owned.

Its in great shape for its age, even has original box from 2001 and manual and remaining decals. I just need a pinion for it.... they Mod .06 or .6 right?

Took a punt for £60.....

Jugg body and original light chrome bumpers turn up. Couple of scrapes on the body but easily repairable.

Thanks to @taffer I have another spare Dual Hunter shell for my boy's machine (or the two loaners I got a little while back).

Plus plenty of TL01/WT01/KongHead spares for the cupboard.

Only if you use a motor with a 5mm shaft, or manage to make/source a sleeve or adapter of some sort.

 

Tamiya make 0.8 module steel pinions that are a perfect fit. Why not get one of those?
