Nice score on the shock parts.

Since they were discontinued a couple years ago, they've gotten stupid priced.

You're not kidding. They have a lot of old SC10, B4/T4 and B5/T5 stock in bins not displayed. And some B3/T3 and older TC stuff.

Got in a shipment of bodies from TBG. Got a Futaba FXT, Tamiya Falcon (for the hybrid buggy), TQ10, Cox Bandido, and Nissan GTP.

He also threw in extra Bandido and GTP bodies, along with some extra wings.
Got some more electronics. Tower and Tamiya receivers are a Tower servo (all Futaba).
And some hardware and general supplies from Amain.

Set of tires and couple parts trees for a FXT. Also had to get another SkyRC brushless motor analyzer, since my last one started showing amps super high in the 90s on the display. Thing was only 11 months old and I got a whopping 4 or 5 uses from it. Knock on wood that I get more use out of this one.

And a RC10T. Already got a 2nd one on its way.

I wonder how well that MSC got along with the 17T motor?

Well I can tell ya I surely in the hell ain't gonna find out
Cool thing is, that Speed Gems Sapphire is an original and not a Speed Gem 2 (couldn't tell from the for sale pics). And other than being dusty as can be, it's in very nice condition.

Mystery turn Reedy motor. But I couldn't go wrong because there is "Gold Star" scribed on the side of the can. And if I remember correctly from back when I was a little lad, getting a gold star was a good thing.
FXT turnbuckles, a nice soft brush to rub my tires with, and stuff.

Aren't you supposed to unwrap it before you do that?

Just a bucket list car NIB. Plus a few vintage goodies for it.

Is that a Traxxas ball diff or Thorp?
