The "Postman Brought Me" Thread

[Rinskie]

Yea what Pylon said. I ended up tracking down a set up big bores for my M08 and I can tell I am gonna take super good care of them. I ended up buying an extra set of reinforced plastic parts for them as spares. Awesome sauce btw.

These are the genuine TRF dampers. Impossible to find these days. Take good care of them! I would polish the rod and change the oil straight away

 

Really? I figured that they were something "nice", didn't know they'd be rare though. I'll give them a clean up and some fresh oil.

LOL, try to replace them . I looked everywhere to include RCMart and Plaza Japan. All out of stock. I ended up finding a set at TQ Racing, they only had one for a very short while until they mailed it to me. Yea, clean those puppies up and take good care of them. They are super nice btw. I wished I had a 5th one for a dest top fidget toy while working but I don't unless you want to ship me one of yours!

If you really want them PM me and we can negotiate, I think they belong on something nicer than a plain TT02 anywho!

Got myself a fancy servo and set of stickers that came in a rather large box, wasn't sure if I had ordered more stuff by mistake or something, but I guess it keeps the stickers safe. If anyone needs F60 decals and doesn't want to spend $100 USD or more for them, Tamiya USA still has them in stock for $15 , also claimed they had a body until I decided I should order it about an hour after I had noticed

Picked up a Radiolink RC8X off of the prime day sales earlier this week, excited to try it out racing this weekend.

Maybe we should start a "What did the post man NOT bring you today thread?" The mailed not bring me the pair of the non scratch pliers I decided I needed. Alas, gotta wait some more.

Nice little RC fix - £10 delivered 👍

It was the Super Champ steering’s rods I wanted, the other bits are bonus parts.

Well, if we go by that standard, the post DID bring me a new steering servo for my Senton.

the Didn’t Bring Yet is the carburetor I’m waiting on for my Honda Cub 70cc

[Nick-W]

Not the postman but rather a trip to my Not-That-Local-Hobby-Store for a second lipo and some connectors. I’ll find out tomorrow if I can remember how to solder.

With Halloween approaching I went for a vintage Midnight Pumpkin body set.

Not sure how good idea it is to put picture off your Unique Voucher code?, "we" do not have much of this in Norway so nut sure how critical this is @alvinlwh

T-square is a japanese band thats been out for 40+ years who are specialized in fusion jazz. I normally am not a fan of jazz, but their songs have some beats i like as well as ewe (something like electronic sexophone ).

Thank you. I'll take a listen 👍

This arrived today for my winter rally project. i found that the 26 mm tamiya radial tyres are great for controlled drifting around the corners at my track. But they wearr very fast. 

[simalarion]

RcMart - MIP . Heard good things about them. I like Tools.

 

Edit: FYI: RcMart is very good at informing that Vat is paid now, mentioned 4 times in front, so should not be a problem anymore

So Ive been in New York for a week or so, and also not been too busy with RC stuff. However Ive returned too:

3D Printed Porsche 992 GT3 Wheels. The quality on these is insane considering they still need a finish but undecided on colour. Tamiya reallygot the wheels wrong on the 992 Kit so these should finish it off. They even have a tyre valve!

 

Im a self confessed servo snob, and I cringe whenever I see the Amazon Junk been used on high end builds, However these are great and sub £10 from Ali Express so I ordered a couple just to have on hand:

Then I couldnt resist this. But after spending money on the Egress Black, Avante Black and BBX Im in trouble for this. 

Its A NIB Zexel R34 GTR on a TA-04 Chassis!

Keep saying this but now I do need to sell a Traxxas or two, and if its not an R34 GTR or a Supra I cant buy it!!

I received a few of similar wine vouchers in the past and if I recall they were something along the lines of "buy 300$ of (bad) wine and enjoy 50$ off" kind of thing. These vouchers on the other hand are great for mixing epoxy glue

The postman dropped a package off before I went to work this morning. Now I can make a new try on the Escort MK2 body. 

 

I also got pinions, so I can gear up the Carten for next year. I am ready for more now. Last I got the ESC I need to convert the M-08 to brushless in a cold and dark winter evening .
