Re: USPS delivery service

I have had a similar experience 2yrs ago, only difference, I was the seller, luckily for me, shipping was done through eBay, and eBay takes full responsibility after the package that you send domestically arrives at eBay, from there they ship it, if it gets lost domestically, on its way to eBay, you...

Re: Optima is back!!

I am loving the red ano shocks! I like the bottom aluminum retainers, I am big fan of kyosho CB shocks, these are the first 'modern' shocks to resemble that, 12mm siam, just the same size, I am sure rr scorp, toms and beetle owners will use them as up grades, they look the part vintage shocks, so we...

Re: more vintage kyosho vintage hopups and mods - 4x4 scorpi

Thanks coelacanth, so for tamiya sand scorcher body, polycarbonate is a no go. I heard this from a hobby shop owner, saying that those pair will react with the styrilne plastic, ok meant to buy some paint, but first trying to order some airbrush vital parts. Rc stuff is really fun, painting is easy ...

Re: more vintage kyosho vintage hopups and mods - 4x4 scorpi

What I do with carbon fiber cut out parts Is that I round off all the edges a little so that you have the cf part appearing thinner than it actually is, this is an illusion that tricks your eyes. It's what apple is doing with iPads, iphoes and Mac book pro If you have the slots counter sunk then, us...
