You know it's a good day when a NIB RC10 arrives at your doorstep.

Tiny part for one of my Corally




Jerome

Last two bits for a RC10 T4.1 team build, and the last T4 in the group, #5.

A good friend of mine picked this up in a cheap garage sale lot recently, amongst a bunch of other cars. He had no use for it, so he tidied it up and sent it to me!
Sure, it's only a Super Hornet, but it's in pretty nice shape, and the Futaba Attack-SR TX is in almost-new condition. Needs a few small parts here and there, and a set of bearings, but I can get this going again.

Just got to decide on a body..... try and find a SH original (not a fan of the black plastic), or hit it with something Rallycross-style.... hmmmm.......

New boots for my el-cheapo bash truck project...... these cost more than the truck originally cost me!
One more parts order to arrive, paint a replacement body, swap in a servo that can actually turn the wheels, and it'll be done. I'm banking on Christmas.... won't say which year

I have been after both of these motors for quite awhile. They both popped up the other day for a reasonable price. Sometimes you just luck out.

I am very excited for the P-94. Not sure why exactly, but it's one of my favorite motors.

A few things arrived today...
First an essential part for the Super Wheelie I'm building for my daughter (she is 14 but she will love this)...


Then a NIB car... The box is a bit damaged, but the content is brand new...



It is quite rare but also super interesting, and will go for a CAD model at some point...

Received a Dahm’s Avenger 2000 van body today. I collect Dahm’s and van bodies, so this was a double score.

A diff and spool for a puller project (had to get into it quick to determine shaft size), FTW chassis plate for a SRB project, and a chassis for a next project.

Uh oh, more red racers!

Big thanks to @Bormac for the delivery services, cleaning, sorting, bagging, rebuilding, and for being just a good bloke... and to Richard for the Tamiya stuff and some electricals.

Now to get started on race-readying..... only 6 months to go to Vintage Bash 3.0!

I suspected you were the "Alex" mentioned in those Bormac videos. He posted links on True Vintage Schumacher (similar to Vintage Schumacher except no "annexing" Czechoslovakia).

Guilty as charged.....

That's a good approximation of the 'other' Schumacher page.... which was no longer open for business, last time I checked. Shame... some people put good time into the community there, so it's sad that it was ruined by the ego of one who puts the dick in dictator....

Hey Alex,

I got the same wheels for my dog chaser basher. Make sure you get some wide washers for the wheel nuts. this happened to 3 out of the 4 on mine.

Frankentruck hooked it up with some 3D printed Kyosho Pro-X/XRT gear covers for reproduction.

The group is still viewable, but I have to search for it. It no longer appears in my Group list. It might be wise to go through the files section and pull down anything I might want to save. You uploaded most of it anyway, I think, so there probably isn't much there that you don't already have.

Being American, I had never seen the old British magazine articles, so those are a treat. I asked a Top Cat question once (probably a stupid one, as things go) and Phil Booth answered it. So as "difficult" as that group could be sometimes, they definitely had credibility.
