Re: Anyone know how to ship from US to Aus/NZ?

How do you ship to Australia or New Zealand from the US? Do you just staple the package to a wombat or something? Apparently a couple of guys, presumably both named "Bruce", want my Storm 2000. Don't make me come over there.... download.jpg "I see you've played knifey-spooney before....

Re: Things that irritate you

Huh... I had no idea. I assumed it was eBay coaxing sellers into sending out offers to those that viewed their listing. When you add an auction to your watch list, doesn't eBay eventually suggest to the seller that they should send out best offers to the interested parties? They used to... I figured...

Re: Things that irritate you

I like how you can search for what you want to watch, and it shows you which apps offer it. The other night I started watching a movie, and the audio was out of sync. I chose to watch it through another app, and all was good. Now getting back on track... It irritates me how eBay now lets sellers sen...

Re: Things that irritate you

I know what you mean. It would be for my elderly father if he's interested as the bulk of his TV watching comprises of the MotorTrend channel. I wouldn't say I watch a lot of TV myself as I usually don't have the time to fit it in. I religiously watch two shows that are live every week, and occasion...

Re: Picture of the day. (Taken by you)

The more the sun was blocked here, the cloudier it caused the entire sky to become until you could barely see anything at all. :? Still super cool though!

Re: Things that irritate you

The Spectrum cable company. I've been dealing with their crap for months now. :x For something like two months we were getting letters that all their cable boxes were going to stop working by the end of March. The monthly cost of the new boxes was also going to go up considerably. With having 5 TVs,...

Re: What is the rarest R/C part you have

The other day I remembered another rare R/C part I have. A Big Boy Toys steering kit for the Raider of all things. I had never seen one before I bought it, and haven't seen another one since. It really surprised me that they had something for it.

Re: Peak Brushed Motors

If you check out new in the package 'Peak' motors, you'll see they give the company as Peak Performance on the back of the header cards. So they're one and the same.


From what I've found, the one you have seems to be a 15x3.

Re: Forum News & Discussion

I'm contemplating making sub-forums for Tamiya and Kyosho's re-releases as well but not sure if it's worth it though. As seen in the above quote from last November, I created re-release sub-forums for a few manufactures but was contimplating doing Tamiya. Well I just made one for them now. I've bee...
