CW-01 tub which might/might not get used and a set of D parts which will from JK-RC and a 3x30mm screws for the motor mount.

To come:

x3 flysky receivers

bearing set for midnight pumpkin & a lowride

3D printed lunch box body mounts, pumpkin body mounts, strut braces, gearbox clip and wheelie bar wheels

Lunch box C & E parts, body and set of stickers for a pumpkin, C parts for a pumpkin

To order:

x1 motor - not sure what to get

x2 Speed controllers - again, not sure what to get. I have used hobbywing 1060s before, which are fine but the motor wries are a bit short for the CW-01 shell.

Paint : Yellow (lunchbox), Black (pumpkin), Red (monster beetle) + a bunch of different pots for details. Blitzer beetle stickers, monster beetle stickers.

My Comical Avante is here:

A build thread is in order!

Monster Beetle Trail arrived from Tamico; one of their weekly deals. £167 delivered to the UK. Arrived here from Germany faster than if I’d bought from a UK supplier.

So they do exist, I was starting to wonder

[ThunderDragonCy 7886]

My custom narrow servo trays for low profile servos arrived. Fitting to my FF03 and TA06 later

.....absolutely nothing!!  

paid customs and handling fees last week on a delivery from US that sat in Miami Airport for a month, scheduled delivery for Saturday - nadda.

Also waiting on a motor and a few other bits and bobs from Japan and they are well over a month in delivery.

I'm starting to get the shakes - I need some new shiny stuff to play with!!!

An early morning delivery from those nice people at Fusion Hobbies. My next build after the VW Karmann Ghia.

The VW Beetle Rally with ESC and Torgue Tuned Motor.

MF-01X bearings,

PS-7 Orange Paint,

Damper O-rings,

Tamiya Screwdriver No1 and No2

[futureworks 864]

Just in from the US, a rare original Supershot MSC. I like doing retro twists on re-re models (see the new built XR311 in my showroom for example)  so this is going to be paired with a re-released Super Hotshot currently on order with Fusion Hobbies (you can’t beat their 10% discount for subscribers).

A Striker/Sonic Fighter Chassis

[Busdriver 6209]

These arrived today. Going to mount them up on a set of Blitzer rims then use them on any of the five cars that can use them.

I discovered that the shell is the same as my Freelander.

I did think that - torn to keep the devil decals or make more “standard”

Sounds like you need a runner shell and a shelf shell

My postman turned up yesterday at 16:50 

He brought with him some of the final parts for me to embark on my TA-02SW build, having missed out on the GT2 Street kits last year when they were €115!

Massive thanks to @svenb for providing some of the missing ball diff parts, whilst also letting me piggy-back his Modellbau-Seidel order from Germany.

Only thing I'm now waiting on are dampers - I plan to put together a build thread in due course! 

And yes, that is a PIAA-spec low-mount rear spoiler on the GT2 body 

[Green Tokyo 53]

My first radio set in about 20 years. It's not much and it's cheap. However, it will get me moving for now. 

Now just waiting for the car I want to come in stock and a diff gear for my nitro.
