Was this from the recent "Huuugee RC Auction/Estate Sale"?

No I bought it from a gentleman in Japan on eBay.

Ya it ended up better than the used one in the auction at the end of the day.

Large box of SRB spares from the very kind man @jonboy1.

Something for another weekend when I have the time for myself and some Tamiya time.
 

Leaves me just odds and sods to pick up now for my vintage Sand Scorcher to run in our back garden.

I got this MF01x for a pretty good price. It came with some pretty nice aluminum wheels and I forgot to take a picture of those.

Also, pardon the picture looking a bit blown out. I tried a different lens and just couldn't get it too look how I wanted it to.

These arrived along with some paint (not pictured), and about 20 mins later I as digging through spares and found out I already had them :blink:, except the motor.

Some solid servo horns for my monsterised CR-01.

Two to be used for 4WS. That leaves one spare for the SMT10 when it gets built. Unless that goes 4WS too, then I’ll need to order some more…

Some bits and bobs for the Tamiya Stadium Blitzer I am building:

In a way I really don't like buying these cheap radio's. But they cost EUR 30 complete... One Futaba receiver alone wil set me back EUR 45. Driving me crazy.

big ups to desert hobbies in Arizona for excellent service, my Sanwa was shipped within 2 hours of placing the order.

I'm so sick of paying for something and these websites think they're doing us a favor, and sitting on my money for days.

 

I'll continue to use them as long as the service level remains high like this.   My expectation is 24-36 hrs to ship in stock items, so kudos for good service.

It doesn't weigh much and could do with a sponge for the wheel, but I'm finally moving up to the land of 2.4GHz.

My new to me Wild One turned up, quick once over says it’s ok.

A bit dirty, but seems undamaged and complete. 

A few things to do at the weekend, but hopefully some ‘dad’ time to check it out properly 💥

And here she is - grubby but complete and a lightly used runner which should be perfect for my needs 😂

A Protoform 190mm touring car xlite body for my E4JS. And a can of Tamiya PS9 Green. Gonna do the 1998 BTCC Laguna livery on it for my runner 👍. Something a bit different, I was going to do the 1997 livery but yellow PS paint seemed to be out of stock everywhere 🙄

I've had a few acquisitions this week. I finally took some pictures and had time to post.

I'm still struggling to figure out how to get this camera to do what I want it to.

Got a nice M04 for a price I was happy with. It has bearings, and a Trinity motor I haven't identified yet. It'll likely get pulled apart, cleaned, new bearings and a silver can put in it.

Stadium Blitzer that has seen better days. Overall it's in good shape. Really needs an in-depth scrubbing and maybe some work on the plastics.

I mentioned in another thread that I'm an 87-88 Thunderbird enthusiast. There was a dude selling one of these New Brights for 300 dollars in a Facebook group. After he got laughed off of the group, I found one on eBay with a starting bid of 10 dollars. My max bid was 40 dollars. Over priced, but I wanted it. I got outbid. He then relisted it due to non payment. Once again, I got outbid and he relisted. Angrily, I set up a sniper service, and won it at it's starting bid of 10 dollars.
