Integy are a manufacturer in their own right. 

Yeah, I get that, but I also buy Square RC parts from Integy.com, hence the reseller comment

I've had no issues with Integy hex hubs or any Square parts, and the Integy axles and universals seem very well manufactured

I’m excited to get on with my Hotshot rebuild soon. Waiting on a new shell and I think I’m going brushless too.

The first charge of spare parts for my TRF414M arrived:

You should have another big box somewhere for the bearings!!!! 
Have to say I love this chassis. It’s just so different and tackles rough terrain in a way so different to others. Not a fan of the body but then I like marmite. Wheels and tyres are surprisingly efficient though I went for larger diameter crawler tire on my Mog.

The first of several RC related deliveries arrived today. Two pairs of Super Grip 60D tires and a TX/RX for small hands which was unbelievable cheap. 15 Euros on sale.

I received some silk silver PLA filament today, which I intend to use for wheels prints. I will test this filament soon.

Beside that, I got another box, it's a case with a handle, and inside there was something:


And yes it's another chapter of my Hunter/Galaxy long story. This combined with a chassis and a roll cage I have already will complete a Galaxy RS (as this one has a complete superstructure). The broken chassis will be repurposed as Hunter chassis.

Me too, I really like the shape the wheels and the overall look of this & the G6 chassis performance. I’m planning on  painting it a mix of silver, red white & blue. And partially painting the wheels silver, maybe to use them on the Konghead, got some ideas I wanna try out. The half tracks and other bits are on order from overseas so could be a while.

Birthday treat to myself of a B64 truggy conversion kit. 

Frustratingly, missing a part, but anyway looking forward to what it'll hopefully become, which won't use this body shell. But does need the body mount, which is the missing part.

Have you worked out how the gearing will work. Is there a way to calculate the correct wheel/tyre size to work with the tracks? Very interested to se how it turns out?

A modest but much needed Sand Scorcher chassis for my stalled project -

From the ever excellent @Fusion-Hobbies. Can't wait to have some spare time to start this!

This arrived on it's own😞 I ordered two (front and back) but only this turned up I also ordered the slipper clutch and servo mounts but they've been put back to end of February! Must admit this super avante is starting to become a bit of a damp squib I've had it since the beginning of December and only used it once for about 1 minute and the diffs give up🤨

2 boxes of track sets, they look like fun! Now thinking I should’ve got a 3rd for the G601TR instead of wheels.

I don’t consider that a rude question (or 2)

So roughly £70 per pair + p&p. And quick as you say. Seems reasonable. How did you get on the the dreaded tax man👹

Unmolested by customs, which is a rare thing round these parts these days.

I think it came to £160 delivered with PayPal exchange rates. It’s the best price I could find and without the UK duty beats Tamico.

Finally!

Ordered 2 weeks ago from Tamico... right before I heard that Tamiya is running a new batch of them. Oh well.

Two servos for my monsterized CR-01 

I might finally get this chassis sorted.

[GeeWings 2859]

Repro shell for one of my Wild One rebuilds from Team BlueGroove, it arrived super quick.

Probably time to stop buying and start building now

[optimaforever 87]

I got my transparent Samurai gearbox

[Tamiyastef 2776]

I got my magnetic body mounts I expected to arrive in March
