Tamiya high torque servo saver, TA02 speed gear and ball bearings for my TA02.  and some Yokomo drift tires, spare rod ends, aluminium servo mounts and a YD-2Z gear differential box set.

Another part for the m03 I've been collecting bits for.

One last delivery before Christmas. The servos will now be safe for the season!

Merry Christmas everybody!

Goodies from japan. For my M05 build!

[DarkSonic 198]

Right before Christmas and after 6 months without any RC work, I did myself a present.

Normaly I'm a LRP guy, but couldn't resist...

Castle creations brushless combo

Build quality is absolutely top. Now with the parts from Christmas, I can complete my DF01/DB02 Frankenstein

For me, spare tire set for the Kyosho Beetle.. if I can find Goodyear side wall lettering for the front tires I’d like to combine with the rear Goodyear tires I got from Kogawa-san last week..

Two packages arrived today, with parts for my Hirobo cars... Almost everything to complete the Zerda, and part of what is required to complete the two 44Bs...


It's incredible when you find brand new stuff, including tires for a car of 1983...

[Nick-W 1182]

Some spacers! Not exciting by themselves but it does mean I can start the xv01 build at the weekend. It’ll be completely stock (to start with) but thanks to @Nicadraus build thread I’ve got a heads up on the alloy spacers.

Super boring tubes and rods..

Today, I fetched 2 cars with one single purpose : complete the Nichimo chassis model collection

I also got a MRC catalogue, which include a lot of valuable information on MRC, Nichimo, Road Academy and some other brands imported by MRC...

Mis-post

[Superluminal 3509]

Has anyone recieved any post from HK recently?

According to the tracking for some bits I ordered back in November it arrived in the UK on the 1st Dec then completely vanished - I assume its lost in the Langley Heathrow abyss never to be seen again?

My last order from AT took about a month to arrive. I think could be the Christmas flood of mail, plus RM strike that is causing the slowdown. I don't even bother to track my current AT and RCM orders, they arrive when they arrive.

That happened to me I ordered hi-caps and a few other bits for my super astute and exactly what you put on here was carbon copy of my package (DHL) that was in August 2019 then it just disappeared  then first week in December I got an email from DHL with the tracking number and "your package will be delivered between 13.40 and 14.40

[Superluminal 3509]

So potentially another month of waiting then taking into account the strikes / xmas etc

Fortunately the seller has just refunded me as ive been stung by exceeding the max number of days of refund eligibility on ebay before

This is an absolutely good tool to have.  Nice choice!   I use mine almost every time I am working on RC or making styrene accessories.
