This turned up overnight. Needs a light restore, and replacement of some aftermarket parts etc but what is there is pretty darn tidy, considering it was used (as a drift car). 

Looking forward to giving it a birthday 🙂

Perfect delivery in time for the weekend. Not really sure why I bought the Cat XLS bits from Schumacher to be honest, but the carbon kit for the Super Astute couldn't have arrived at a better time.

My very first hobby-grade kit and the realization of a childhood dream. I have a lot of stuff to buy before I crack into the box, but just seeing it on the shelf brings me joy. I don't know that I've ever been this excited.

one step closer now, the aluminum A5 mount is in. Jconcept tires 2.2 sprinter buggy tires +  yellow team associated wheels are ordered. everything is on order/in process or not yet released for my TD. the only thing i didnt order yet was a radio control unit.

 

i dont even remember if the TD kit will include a steering servo but i have one i purchased for the slash that i have yet to install it on. when the steering servo gets bugs i will put the servo on it or the TD build if that happens to come sooner.

Mog


Yo! when I built Moggy I had most of the plastics left over. 2 years on I’ve finally got round to ordering the bits to build another CW01. Sure I have most of the stuff already but this way I can put them in the box and kid myself it’s a new kit :lol:

Replacement parts due to "the big crash" from when I went 62+ with my blackfoot, aka "Flying Brick"...

 

It actually flew in that run, it just didn't land so well...

Ford Escort Mk 1 Body

M-07 Concept Chassis. I am wondering why they release these concept versions. Now all I need is a M04 and M08 and I then have one of each version in the series.

 and to go onto the M-07, an ABC Celica LB (1600?) body

Every time I look at my over priced super hotshot that I bought off Ebay after one too many alcoholic beverages (never go on Ebay when your inebriated its expensive) I think the body needs replacing but I've spent to much on it already but this came along at a price I couldn't ignore! Who ever painted the body I have on it at the moment has been painted with TS paint then backed with black TS paint and the moment it bends or twists the paint cracks! And I think they cut it out blindfolded?

Having been let down by one hobby shop for some motors, a ZTW Beast 3450kv Sensorless combo turned up today with a few connectors to qualify for free shipping. 
It will replace the current 13.5 HW set up in my S/Blitzer that’s sensor wires about to break. Not surprising really considering where it’s been. At least I’ll have now something to do while it’s raining and can’t paint my Knight Hauler.
