jonboy1 2943 Posted September 22, 2020 So I bought some 9804313 hex nuts which arrived yesterday - not at all because I lost one of the originals on my patio when I was cleaning the Durga - no of course not, and I'll vehemently refute any accusations of such! However, despite the items being listed as being genuine with 2 - not one, but 2 - pictures of a Tamiya logo on the listing, turned out not to be, but were Gee Dee copies..... Not impressed So they have been sent back and will be replaced with some proper Tamiya items from Tony. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No disrespect but that seems a bad case of ocd if your non descript nuts have to be genuine Tamiya. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I completely concur with the OCD aspect of your character assassination I almost see it as a compliment Honestly - I wouldn't be bothered if they weren't genuine, as long as that's what I knew them to be before I paid my money. What I objected to was them being described as a genuine Tamiya part, Tamiya branded, and described as rare original items - only to have them arrive in completely unabashed non-Tamiya packaging. Definitely not Tamiya! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like a genuine Tamiya part, bag and sticky label (for 98xx parts) with a shops own header card added for convenience of display. I wonder how similar the packing and parts from Tony will look... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Definitely genuine Tamiya - even without the "genuine" G-D packaging (aptly named isn't it?) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Badcrumble 4204 Posted September 23, 2020 My ‘oops I’ve bought a car’ purchase has arrived. Any buyers remorse has evaporated, I’m quite giddy about this one. I know they are fragile and the ESC will probably blow on the first run but I think it will get some decent use by me and el kid. EDIT: My colleagues and I just had a little blast round the underground car park at the office. Great fun! Lots of torque twist, ***** a wheel with extreme inputs. I can see why some people think they are slow as stock but it is a great starting point. Looking forward to getting it on some loose stuff. EDIT-EDIT: *raised a wheel 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChrisRx718 4470 Posted September 23, 2020 Been a while since I bought anything from Stellamodels, but their service is still...stella(r)! Got some final bits for my XV01, reinforced belt and aluminium steering bridge. Also got bits to finish a TA05 ‘bitsa’ build. Not sure why I’m doing this, but had a stack of TA05 parts and more body shells than I know what to do with! Thanks @svenb for some of the other essential bits. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The 'fire hazard spec' battery, MSC and resistor will be going in the bin. Vintage 27MHZ Radio gear on ebay. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
