a couple thing here...pack it well and what they don't know won't hurt them . 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

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

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

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!

I'll scope them out for ya

I've got mini pins coming out my ears but most are parma. The one lone set of "closer to modern" Are the prolines and I will get a pic of them and the bodies up soon. They are gtp style short tails

Like My Pins

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