Ferruz 11702 Posted September 29, 2021 Some new tires and wheels were in the mail today. They're supposed to be destined to the Manta Ray for Postal racing business, but now that I see them they're screaming for the Terra Scorcher instead 🤔 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djmcnz 754 Posted September 29, 2021 Happy and sad. Happy that this has arrived but sad that a relatively soft box was sent in a simple plastic shipping envelope with no additional protection. How did the seller think that would survive international shipping? Well it didn't and the box is in a poorly state, it's not terminal but I like my new stuff, especially if it's expensive, to arrive in new condition. 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I agree good protection is important, especially for statics as they are far more fragile than RC kits. Perhaps a feedback comment? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I added a polite feedback comment highlighting the inadequate packaging and gave 4 stars for condition instead of 5... they'll probably block me, most eBay sellers seem to block those that provide less than 5 stars instead of being accountable for their failures. I won't lose any sleep over it but I'm sure we all appreciate a faultless acquisition. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VileQuenouille 246 Posted September 29, 2021 2 x TT-01E Skyline R32 HKS kits, one to build and one for the spare decals and wheels, I might use the extra chassis for something else, I don't know yet. I also ordered a low-profile servo for it, and a bunch of 35mm servos for a future project, a rather large RC place my dad bought and never used, so he's giving it to me, 1.5m wing span. Then a few lipo bags (finally), and last but not least, a new king size bed for the little ones. 7 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In fact it is better so that you will not accidently buy from them again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matisse 1581 Posted September 29, 2021 MORE parts for the TD4, which doesnt even exist yet, FML. Ceramic diff balls, both 3/32 and 1/16 size, TRF hex drive dish wheels with K block tyres, and a set of DF03 MS wheels and tyres which i'll probably move on. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GeeWings 2830 Posted September 30, 2021 After multiple Covid delays my R31House Formula Kart slick tires and Kart rims arrived this morning. I purchased these for my GF01 Land Cruiser build. Don't think I will actually be running them but they were too good looking not to buy! I wanted black rims but RCMart had sold out. I will see what white looks like but will potentially spray or dye them. Still waiting for the bearings and various other hop-ups to arrive before I can start the build. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Badcrumble 4204 Posted September 30, 2021 I received a notification that some stickers from MCI are arriving today. Unfortunately, I'm not back in the office until next week . If I have put the order in correctly I have a set for my TXT-2 (though I'm sure I have a set already in my stash? Perhaps not with the Summit decals), a resized custom set for my Hornet so I can finally finish that body and a set for my Mini pick-up body. Hopefully that will give me the impetus to pick up the chassis and finish it off. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
