Wooders28 4723 Posted May 28, 2020 After bits n bobs selling a bit better than I'd thought on eBay, I've treated myself early, (thought I'd need to sort more stuff out to sell!) And bought a new, Sanwa Exzes ZZ, the Z was/is brilliant, but wanted something new (can't remember last time I'd got a new radio!) With a couple of bits for @Kevin_Mc , taking advantage of the free delivery. Had a quick look at the ,user guide, thinking it must be in a few languages, urm no, that's all in English!?! Ive not read a book that big for years! 🤦♂️ 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Busdriver 6209 Posted May 28, 2020 22 hours ago, ChrisRx718 said: That's pretty amazing from Tamico. Shows really what an absolute shower our "Royal" Mail system is in the UK. When you compare how badly they've been affected in the last 2 months it's pitiful. Delivery companies should be absolutely raking in profits now, with the shops closed everyone is relying on shopping online, which brings with it a necessity to deliver. Militant, unionised ex-big-state industry vs. Free Enterprise in action! I'm bitter because my postman brought me nothing but a bill today. Did you use DHL?? If so not so free enterprise. I think you’ll find it is owned by the German state post office, much in the same way as the company I work for is owned by the German state transportation company?

burakol 462 Posted May 28, 2020 Came one day earlier than expected. I will probably create a build thread on it but for now, it will stay in its box until I at least get the shielded bearings in... This will be my first CC01 build... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisRx718 4470 Posted May 28, 2020 Some magnetic body mounts. I know some folk on here have had bad experiences with these Chinese bits, but personally I think they're great. About £3.50/set delivered, too. I've fitted my G500 body to a CC01 long wheelbase and I can lift the whole car up by the bodyshell, so the magnets are definitely strong enough for me! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jonathon Gillham 4606 Posted May 29, 2020 I finally accepted my cheap banggood soldering iron was not up to the task and ordered a Hakko FX888D. It arrived today, localish purchase so no issues with delivery. Its too cold to try it out now, despite having a new ESC sitting ready to into my D418. The weather forecast suggests no racing this weekend so not a major problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grumpy pants 4485 Posted May 31, 2020 This lot turned up yesterday so I spent a little time in the sun sorting through it, removing alien items and tidying it up. I such a nerd now I am super excited about the Beatties ruck sack I didn’t know they existed and it matches my RC hold-all 🙈 Honestly I’d love to make a beach runner out of the SRB chassis, but even though working from home has significantly reduced my hours I am still clocking up 45 plus hours easily each week. So the plan is to measure the Falcon shocks to see if the will fit my Lunchbox kit and then split everything into 5 lots to sell on. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grumpy pants 4485 Posted May 31, 2020 And new Flysky GTB-3C from my mum for my birthday next week. I decided to upgrade from my 3B as I like the rechargeable battery and the handset is a little lighter overall. Evolution rather than revolution 💥 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
