I've received a lot of stuff these past two days, most of which not being too noteworthy. I did, however, pick up a random box of RC stuff off of the bay. I noticed the majority of a Tamiya Hummer, a Hornet, and a truck I couldn't identify. I didn't have high hopes, but I really wanted the Hummer.

The random truck turned out to be a Marui Big Bear Datsun. This poor thing had seen better days and is missing a lot of stuff. I do have a bunch of random parts which I suspect is from this beast. I also have the manual for it. The transmitter is broken, but I may be able to fix it. This one is totally cool, but I'm not sure if I have too much interest in it.

If those tyres aren’t perished in any way, you may well have struck gold, one of the most rare tyres to find anywhere

They are in surprisingly good shape. I guess I'll need to go the Big Bear more in depth. I did find a few broken bits on the chassis, but this might be a good start for a collector.

One parcel which I was waiting for some time arrived today from Sweden... It took much longer than usual, and the tracking of the parcel still show it under transportation in France at Sweden side and under preparation at sender on French tracking side... I had some fear each time I opened the tracking. My wife did receive the package today and she did not told me, so I was surprised to find it when back form the office...

It was within a bigger box, but inside there was a nice box

And inside the box, an incomplete car (missing wheels and central shaft, and maybe other details). And there was a lot of goodies, which should allow me to complete 3 cars (at the exception of the wheels).

The plan was for this Coors to be a donor chassis for the Shogun. I'll probably missing wheels set and a rear gearbox for the Coors, but now that I have a box, we can say that I have an incomplete Coors to complete :)

i dont know WTH this is about but i got a tiny 1" camera key chain today. i didnt order anything like this... i did order a 5 set of antenna for the Taiyo RC radio some time ago.it hasnt shown as delivered yet so i assume its on the way. maybe a small switcheroo on the antennas??? im going to keep it in its packaging and hope i didnt get switcheroo'd the seller for the antenna is based in China, the return address on the key chain is UK... the key chain address wasnt mislabeled so i got a small mystery...

Tamico box of goodies arrived today.

DT-03 bundle with bearings and a brushless combo - a bargain. A few hop ups, servo, wheels and a driver. 

CVAs for my nearly complete 911 RSR and a servo saver for my Rustler.

Today I received this M04. It came with inexpensive LiPo, Tamiya ESC, some leaking Yeah Racing shocks, bearings, quick release battery holder and aluminum dogbones. The shame is that it has a demolished rear gear case that was very strategically glued back together.

I was looking for an M04 for a while to no avail. Now I have two of the things.

Nothing super exciting, but will make the plastic parts to hold the wing and raise the DT02’s wing a bit!  :D

Got a NIB Twin Detonator as well as a bunch of hop-ups. Bearings, servo saver, 880 ESC, Quick change battery holder, and so on. Now all I need to show up is the shocks, towers and servo holder.

thanks, yeah those thin ones seem to be rare to be that small sized. it doesnt fold like the original but i cant fault it for that. when stowed away it sticks out 2 1/4 inches in height and 9 1/4 inches fully extended.

still not sure what the toy camera key chain is about.... LOL

Very nice! IMO the Twin Det is the bestest looking of the WR-01 trucks. Are you going box-art or coming up with your own livery?

Few incoming today. Few RXs for some cars first...

Then a bodyshell and some accessories for my Kyosho Spider TF3... It will be a CLK GTR, and I'm not 100% sure yet if I get it painted my own way or not. Only thing that is sure is this car needs to get ready by first week-end of June for a vintage event in Belley...

Last, I got advised by a cool Australian guy that I have a package to fetch somewhere nearby... He told me : it's going to be amazing or a nightmare. I'll fetch that at the end of my day, check the content and report the long story if it is what I hope it is :-)
