Definity take caution!

Just a FYI, you can find hairdressing peroxide at most beauty supply stores, and some up to 12%. I use the "Salon Care Volume 20" most of the time, in clear liquid or creme, depending on the size of the part(s). The volume number represents its HP percentage. 10=3%, 20=6%, 30=9%, and 40=12%. My local Sally Beauty has all the volumes in the store. Quick little article: https://www.using-hydrogen-peroxide.com/hairdressing-peroxide.html

For me, another week, another Tamiya. I might officially be a Tamiya guy now. I didn't know what the other chassis was from the seller's pics, but now that it is here, it is clearly a Traxxas Street Sport, which means I now have a parts car for when I get around to mine.

Never thought I would be this excited to get a box of a half a dozen used,old and likely half dead batteries but here we are. Living in Canada, I had to source in country as I cannot get ‘hazardous’ materials across the border (groan).

These will be used to complete my 1994 box art YZ10 and my Pavidis replica. Almosssttt there!

Got this unique part today for the collection.. 5mm front axles for the JRX2 so you can run Kyosho or Tamiya front wheels.

TRX-1-3 sent me a really nice battery cup for my TRX-1 build. It seems almost like a NOS part! Thank you sir, it's very much appreciated!

Got a delivery yesterday from my great mate Mark / @Mad Racer... some bodies I can use for my T3 race truck. Not sure which I will make fit just yet, but either should work. Silver one is a cab-forward from a 22T, and the unpainted is designed to suit the XXX-NT... but some quick placing on my T3 chassis shows either should work fine.

A bit of an eclectic haul today of good parts. I was actually upset when I saw these Proline wheels had sold on eBay. I was mad at myself for not grabbing them. I had completely forgotten I had ordered them. I was happily surprised when I opened the package tonight. :lol:

Yep, one nice thing about getting older is that I can buy gifts for myself and still be surprised when I open them.

Yesterday I got a nice lot of Losi shock parts. Here’s the good stuff.. a like new set of JrxPro SE shocks, various springs including a set of 1.5” Kinwald blue that I didn’t know existed..and a set of thin shock collars with no cracks.
