Pre ordered on 6 Sep, arrived today, just 3 weeks wait, not bad considering some had waited 6 months for it. Wife is not too please though.

Postie brought me this yesterday from @djmcnz. I am sure I will find a use for more m-chassis stuff. 😁

Top Force, Super Astute and ???

Seems hard to get the springs though. No one that I usually buy from has stock.

More drivers have appeared. I'm going to try and get one in my Egress at some stage...

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 🤔

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.

That's a good colour combination for the terra scorcher👍

That's a static model right? Yes, I agree good protection is important, especially for statics as they are far more fragile than RC kits. Perhaps a feedback comment? 

Yep, 1/24 static and I agree with you. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
