Got some front end parts this week..

Well not really in the post but more what did I find helping my mum move house Over the weekend as she put it all your old s##t
Unfortunately the 12l was just the left over part after a graphite chassis conversion back in the day don’t know where the actual car has gone to but the pro panther seems to al be there even if it’s a little messed with at the moment.

And the old aurora afx and tyco magnum 440 slotcars was a surprise to find there still too

This is my second shipment from the MCI/TBG collaboration of combining shipping. I have to say I like what they have done. Save a couple of bucks on shipping, and the combo shows up at the same time, because honestly, one doesn't mean much without the other. Props to them for joining forces!

A few bodyshells incoming for my in progress projects...


I was expecting two 3D prints deliveries today, but it seems it will be for tomorrow or Thursday rather...

Actually yesterday, but whatever. Got a shipment from Frankentruck.

Two Yokomo stocks, a Trinity Slot Machine 2, a Speed Gems 2 Onyx, and a Matrix 7.5.

Also got another Airtronics/AE mini receiver.
The two Yokos are handouts that are still sealed and look to be lightly used.

The prints I was expecting yesterday arrived today...

First, some white SLS PA12 printed elements for the Samurais


Later on some red SLS PA12 for the Nichimo Spirit FF. It came in a cocoon

They must have a new employee in the packaging department.

Got a Duratrax RX-100 (Futaba R-122) receiver and another Powerline motor.

Found some pretty cheap touring car bodies on eBay, to complete some cars, so snagged them. Same week delivery Lancer Evo will go on something rally, and VW Golf will be installed on a Tamiya FF01 chassis I recently acquired.

Neat bodies too.... nice paint and decal job, light buckets, extra wing and detail parts.... great stuff for the price!

The red one now has a sibling.

Indeed originals. My re-re still hasn't been removed from the box. These two will get restored first though.

Well, not exactly the postman, as I went to my favorite dealer this morning to fetch some parts I was waiting for too long...
When I arrived, I got a gift. He told me when I went there before Christmas that he have something for me, and he would give it to me next time I would come. It was today.
Here is :


There was no other customers, he offered me a coffee and we had some very nice and long discussions. I showed him my work on the Nichimo, he was impressed. I suspect that next time he gets a car with a broken chassis, he'll ask me if I'm interested

Factory Team Rc10 B4 shocks and titanium turnbuckles for the on-road T4. Now it can legitimately be considered a T4 FT.

And stumbled across a nice condition Speedworks blueprint 427 empty box. Nice addition to my unused Speedworks blueprint 427 motor.
