a couple thing here...pack it well and what they don't know won't hurt them :wink: . Keep it ground shipped if you are worried but I would take a guess that 1000's of batterys are above our heads daily being shipped without any issue.

Thanks for cleaning it up-that wasn't really the intention of the thread anyway. I will be taking some decent pics and putting them in my for sale thread anyway these guys were just too quick for me 8)

I'm quite sure that Ni-cad batteries don't cause troubles. It's the lipo stuff that ticks off alerts

i seem to recall seeing on the usps forms something about batteries in general. I will have to try to pay more attention next time :mrgreen:

I cant wait to start putting this stuff into something cool. I have a lot of off road 1/12 tires now and lots of 12e parts already. I think it was in the Harry Higley book that they showed some early pan car flipped over to run off road. Always wanted to build one 8)

I am really starting to dislike Portland Craig's list! I am about 250 miles away and there are some really nice cars on there and some seem to be a good price.

I drove down there last Friday to pick up a Marui Big Bear and 3 Associated cars but after 500 miles in the car it about killed me and when I got back my wife said I was done looking in Portland. But like the idiot I am I keep looking and finding things I would LOVE to pick up!

BTW Nice find on the DS would have loved to score something like that!

Apparently the shop that had this stuff either added a "0" to the front mini pin order or they grossly overestimated their popularity :lol: I always liked the look of them but they were not for tracks around here!
