The "Postman Brought Me" Thread

I ordered these yesterday after discovering my current mini file was almost bald

Decided to get a Tomahawk while I could.  And MIP drivers!

Today I've had a couple of deliveries, mainly for my new race car.

Some paint, wheels and tyres, tuning springs, transmitter case.

Also a Bat-Safe and 2 Centro 5000mah LiPos.

My first LiPos and I can't help but feel uneasy having them in the house. I'm not entirely sure where to store them.

I'm like you, relatively new to lipos (a bit over a year) and have 2 bat-safes for my lipos. I have a lot of lipos because I also fly helicopters. Anyhow, lipos are very safe (assuming you keep them at storage charge) when not being used. I store them inside and have no hesitation. When they become a bigger risk is during charge or discharge, either from a charger or from use and when damaged (namely punctured). As you know. always keep watch of it during those times. You an also minimize your risk by not parallel charging and always charge at 1C. Just being smart and respecting them goes a long way.

Finally a vintage Avante   

I've had her for a little while but wanted to replace the cracked original tires before adding to my garage.. and yes my first shelf queen 

[Granddad Stinky]

@phil h look!

Look what £18 on eBay bought me. It’s an officially licensed Jeep body, with great detailing, even some light buckets. When I get around to putting 4-links on my Clod, this will be on it. The wheelbase is exactly 14”. I’ll also de-sticker it and find a period 1:1 paint scheme for it.

I’m not sure what i’ll do with the rest. Amphibian is tempting. 😂

Nothing beats original Clod Buster parts. Came over to Canada all the way from Australia.

Just another lipo bag for me today.  I ordered it at the same time as some calipers and IR temp gun and of course the one that I don't really want (more of a need, its to replace one that gives me splinters) arrives first and the 2 I really wanted are still on their way here.

Got my new arms for the Lazer ZX6 too, so that is back together for the race meet next month.

Today's basket case delivery was this little lot masquerading as an F150 Ranger, luckily I already have 95% of the missing parts including a true Ranger body and is going to be built up with a few custom parts like fully polished alloy parts & carbon fibre chassis etc...

And here it is 10 mins later...

Well I have been busy with a new toy.  It's not a big T,  but a small t. 

 

[ThunderDragonCy]

19t steel pinion for the DT03 which meant i could put the 17t in the Thunder Dragon

[topforcein]

Top-force upper and lower decks also shock towers front and rear  plus battery stays. all for my original Top-force. 

[max69vk]

Deliveries have been a bit quiet of late (my bank account has been heaving a sigh of relief), but I've had a couple of vintage Beatties bags (blue) turn up to house a couple of vintage models without boxes, plus a set of original SRB shocks, & these converted SRB shocks, only a simple modification but they make the world of difference in both looks and performance!

 

[svenb]

Arrived today 👍

Expensive but no custom charges!

Not sure which decals to use but leaning towards the '99' set.

[tamiya_1971]

Great delivery day: Bruiser slipper clutch, alloy Lunchbox body mounts, RC4WD rod ends, CPE Clod steering kit, extra Clod C parts, and a Lunch Box pre-made body from wahwahmodelshop.

The most beautiful RC car ever followed by the egress! (Original or re-re) it has its design problems but who cares when it looks like that and the more i look at the avante of which I never get sick of doing the more i admire it!

[Supercoolnothing]

A couple of crawler parts from radshape, a cc-01 battery tray so I can get the weight as far forward as possible to improve the climbing performance and a land anchor for when I actually get around to fitting a winch to the chassis. I also got a massive bottle of createx airbrush cleaner for ummm cleaning my airbrushes because the wee bottles really don't last too long and are an incredibly expensive way to buy it. 

[max69vk]

More parts! Another SRB front end, this time with some creative painting which will be stripped.

And a Bruder cab unit which will be modified to fit a WR02 chassis after seeing an epic conversion on Instagram of all places!

The inspiration... 

 

 

[topforcein]

a couple of aerials that where meant to be to scale for crawling but no way am they for crawlers as they are way to big. even to big for 1/14 trucks.so that was a waisted buy.

[bjorklo]

Got the screwz4rc kit for my schumacher xls. These Are stainless, but boy Are they heavy, so not so sure i'm gonna use em. I think i have to find some titanium one's instead.
