The "Postman Brought Me" Thread

[Willy iine]

This also came.. to my wife (my xmas present from her soon.. )

[silvertriple]

Some MXL pulleys to complete the transmission of one of the 44B chassis in case I can't find original parts, and some materials to do attempts at pourring tires...

[wun1jee]

I tossed around the idea of a Grasshopper for years. Then I discovered that the Grasshopper II had a limited Black Edition and I couldn't help myself.
 

[Willy iine]

This is what I got my wife in return for the F104.   

You know who's going to be asking for decals..  

[Rally!]

These beauties arrived. Exciting, I know. 

Domination of the RC world is imminent!

I have one of these that I'm fighting with. When you go to feed the material into it it bunches up and ruins the cut. I'm probably doing something wrong but it was annoying. Hopefully you'll have better luck!

Please share photos once you build that beauty.

Postman got me this today:

 Always a nice thing when these show up 

 

Inside we have some new organiser boxes and some giant Lipo bags.

Another interior and driver heads + E + F parts for my TA03F rebuild

 Yes, that's one 880 ESC for a twin motor TA03 or M-chassis project I wanna build. 

[No Slack]

I crossed the line to the dark side: Traxxas TRX4M. I fool myself thinking it is a new Tamtech Gear. 

[tamiya_star]

A very bright TR-15T

Are those blue wheels and 10.5t for the same car? If so, what?

Not sure what the motor is going yet, I had some amazon vouchers from work so it was free 😁

[Willy iine]

Street tires and chrome wheels for my Dual Rider thanks to @Fuijo.    I decided to keep mine street set up for now.  Fuijo, thanks again for sharing info on your trike!  

Also a charger for my 7PXR.

Nice. Free is always good. What are the wheels for?

Looks good. I was toying with the 1/18th Bronco but ended up going all in on a full size TRX4 builders kit instead!!!

You should at least call Guinness Records just to give them a pre-warning.

Just wait until my tire foam shows up.

@Willy iine You're welcome! If you don't want to use the kit drive shafts because you're not using the standard motor or whatever, GPM Racing do some in either alloy or spring-steel that fit those little hexes for those wheels.

Alloy. GR-T3023R

Spring steel. GR-T3023SR

[Willy iine]

Parts for my F104 and Mini-yonku to place next to my RC AeroAvante.    

I sourced the top deck, but if I can find the lower CF deck for my 104F somewhere... 

 

Also got a strap for my PX7R and trolley for Billy's LandCruiser pickup display.  I didn't feel like making another one out of stryene as I am out of the spacers I used for the casters..

More Juggernaut stuff.

A box of servo's.

And shocks.

For some reason, a free servo horn was included.

Got these after watching one of Mark Bryan's videos. It fits the TT-02. I think I'm going to leave it off for now as I want to run the car stock and add all the hop-ups slowly to see what kind of difference they make. 

I'm guessing the main advantage of this part is smoother operation and adjustability. Possibly longer life, too, as I can't see the plastic balls that come with the kit lasting very long. We'll see.

Also, should I start up a short build thread, or are there enough TT-02 builds already on this forum?

No such thing as too many build threads 👍

This arrived from the US for my Madcap NIB build that I've pieced together over the past year.

All parts for the build now acquired, plus this gearbox hop up and a set of the yellow Astute CVA's. Also now have an original Madcap box that it's all sitting in now🙂
