Track markers!

These are great. We were using them with a pair of Lunchboxes, and I noticed that they would cause the occasional rollover. With some careful cutting (you can do 2 at a time), I doubled the number of cones. Eliminated the rollover issue, and created a new set of mini-cones for the micro cars.

Nice job cutting @Room335

That is smart thinking.

Recieved my original Stadium Thunder today. It's in pretty good shape and the price was very hot.

Complete with period correct radio (but with the sticks on the wrong side).

Pretty sure you can open it up and swap them round, perhaps the previous owner was left handed? And preferred it that way round?.

Trigger finger on your good side..

Some goodies arrived today... The springs will go on my big bore dampers.

simple, insects can crawl/move on walls AND ceilings given there is enough for them to grip onto. the taxonomy of a monster beetle is still unclear and a mystery as to their natural abilities.

It’s the 2015 ReRe, which I plan on bashing. I picked it up as something to go with the lunchbox which I let my 5 year old nephew use at the park. I didn’t quite realise how bigger it’d be but it sure does look cool!

I don’t have the coin for vintage NIBs… though if I did it’d have to be a HS2 if I could find one. The HS2 is my Wild Willy 😀

Nothing exciting but just parts for my parts bin.

Got another steering servo in today to put aside for TD, the previous reserved went to CW01.

[Busdriver]

about time I sorted out my servo wires. They are never the right length and look messy. Having a practice on some old y leads first

One of the best tools I've ever bought. Use mine on every build👍

it's your orientation on the camera if you look to the side you will see a little icon rotate when you rotate the phone just make sure its facing the direction you have the camera

Cool I'll give that a look!👍

Any photo, even upside down, is better than those taken by people who insist on holding their phone upright (portrait) when taking photos.

I can't understand how they look at the end result on a proper screen and don't ask themselves a) why the photo is so small and b) why there are huge black bars.

Seriously people, learn how to use your tech properly, it's a photo, not rocket science.
