Re: So what did you get in the post today ???
I got this sad little Grasshopper.
I only paid $40 (shipped !) for it, so I couldn't really go wrong. And other than a pinion gear, I have enough junk to piece it together with.

Always looking for new and interesting ways to waste money.

Re: So what did you get in the post today ???
I got a parts RC10 that was supposed to be in fair condition, and well, yea, it is just that. But I need one or two lower cost graphite chassis for a couple of builds. The big surprise is that I think the shock towers may have been manufactured by my favorite vintage RC accessories manufacturer.
I build RCs like people would have done back in the '90s ..................................... if they had 3D printers.

Re: So what did you get in the post today ???
Was the Kydex looking black top plate from the Digger ever used on the Hugger? I think I actually had the Hugger. I remember my being longer than the Digger seems in the photos. "Road Hugger" on the tires has a familiar ring as well.

A b4.2 parts lot and a complete centro4.2 with spares
The buggy looks like it had most of the options added TiN ball studs and the j concepts option parts.

Re: So what did you get in the post today ???
I am guessing that this was from a team racer given that most of the associated parts are stamped not for resale.LowClassCC wrote: ↑Sat Feb 04, 2023 4:51 pmthat's a good looking lot.JosephS wrote: ↑Sat Feb 04, 2023 4:22 pm A b4.2 parts lot and a complete centro4.2 with spares

I get having extra arms and axles. What I don’t get is having 7 top plates. Do they shatter ? Should I just start a collection of just top plates?

I picked up a really nicely painted and trimmed Viper body from rwordenjr. I highly recommend his painting services. I have a short arm gold pan that's been waiting for just the right body.

Here’s an unusual one I received today.. aluminum JRX2 spindles. If anyone knows more about this company and their parts, I’d like to hear it.

Re: So what did you get in the post today ???
I got a box from Schumacher. Nothing noteworthy except my Storm now has wheels and ball bearings for the steering. The rest was just spare bits to throw on the pile.
I don't know where I am going with it yet. One idea is to put a drag car body on it, hence the big wheels in back / small wheels in front.

Re: So what did you get in the post today ???
it took a whlile to arrive with some additional delays but it is finally here... I finally have a Marui CJ-7 Golden Eagle Super Wheelie...
And in the box there is one car (black body) and 75% of the second one (white body, new) : missing a chassis, transmission, rear axles, and front springs.
And that means I will have to possibility to precisely model the CJ-7 body shell like I did for the Land Cruiser.

I buy kits to build and ru(i)n them

I've been hunting for a nice B2 and after letting some nice ones slip away too cheap I finally got mine. And I even like the paint job.
