Yes, the pliers are included, bought from Amazon

Retro goodness just arrived.  The hornet was my childhood buggy.  

[dannymulder 1126]

Upgrade parts for my cc-02 build from rc mart, and a wild one, 2 castle creations 3800kv motors and  a proline jeep body to replace the ugly one on my kyosho mad wagon from modellbau berlinski.

The castle motors where on sale for 43€ so I had to buy them.

Shims and some nice new taps. Can continue with the TC-01 build now

[Nick-W 2059]

I’m not entirely sure that these will end up on the Terra Scorcher. They are pretty though. 

[OnTheTrail 1417]

Big thanks to @GreenBar0n!   He assisted with finding a part# for compatible SS mirrors.  Order from eBay and they showed up real quick.  Plus I got an extra SS front body facia and an extra set of wipers (both being primered for future use)

got this Hobbywing 10BL120 today.

[F-150 739]

Won't let me put up a picture ..

I got my Mini JRX2 today and let me tell ya ...I didn't think I'd be into a mini car, but longing to collect a full size jrx2 I folded and got a mini 

If lad I did because this tiny car is super cool. The camber, toe in and all that are adjustable, metal gears, aluminum shocks that feel smooth ... It really is nice. 

If you could get a few of these racing on an appropriate sized track, it would be super fun. 

 I'm definitely going to run this car on appropriate terrain, make tiny jumps and play around with the settings.

The nose cone and wipers are for a Blitzer Beetle, the Sand Scorcher nose cone is a little broader from memory.

The monster is here... 

That will be a fun build.

So this arrived today. Courtesy of my Daughter who is 10 months old. Not too sure how she managed to order this, let alone pay for it (She probably has more money than me!) I didnt think 10 month year olds understood E-Commerce or had any concept of money but fair play to her. Unfortunately its off to Santa now to be delivered to me on Christmas Day!

For the record. “She” paid $210.58 including postage and VAT at checkout on Amain so £171 was the charge all in. No additional charges. It was ordered on the 6th and arrived 10 days later. Id have had no chance getting one from the UK as I was missed the original allocation. So to get one at circa UK retail was great

Its also factory sealed in cellophane. I dont think UK ones are?

Some bling for the TC-01

Me too!  

 

There is no official factory sealing from Tamiya. As far as I know do this some distributors, but this foil is no quality feature.

Yeah I have to admit over the many decades I’ve bought tamiya kits I’ve never had any that have been shrink wrapped and the one and only tamiya kit that I did receive wrapped was my avante black edition and that was from tamico back in those wonderful days you could order from Europe tariff free and at your doorstep within a few days…………well done Boris and farage

[Dan1891 297]

My Wild Willy 2 kit from Tamico was shrink wrapped.

[Twinfan 2468]

Yep, UK distributed kits are not shrink wrapped. Tamico kits always are.

[Kpowell911 2628]

Not looked at an RC for months then two arrive in 3 days. Currently at work but my Mrs sent me this photo. I sold a TRX4M I wasnt using. Quite excited for this!

I think its a black one. Will unbox later if I get chance!

[Alexei 786]

received a few parts earlier today. a T-Works small bag, ABC Hobby front body magnets, Yeah Racing battery connectors, Square aluminium servo mounts and wheel nuts, Yokomo adjustable aluminium suspension mounts and suspension bushings.

[CoolHands 1013]

Curious about the hard case small parts bag? I kind of want one, but what do you think you’ll put in it? I’d probably end up with junk in it and forget what’s in there!

The wipers are the same, but the BB nose is longer, same width though, all of those parts would work for @OnTheTrail if he wants the longer snout look.

Was it accompanied by an angry face emoji? That's what I'd normally get.....
