I use the exact one and its a wonderful piece of kit and would be lost without it. One piece of kit that is well worth the money - especially in our hobby.

First round of upgrades...

 

66t Holmes hobbies motor for the TRX4M, the extra wheelspeed is really nice and considering I'm using a 1060 ESC the tires slip before the drag break fails. 

Brass diff covers for the TRX4M, going to be painted red. 

RPM rod ends for the BHC-1, the stock are 💩! 

[totlxtc]

As i have a sticker fetish, these wonderful stickers arrived today from this really awesome forum im part of! Highly recommend. Thank you 😊 

 

Also bit the bullet and got a camber/toe guage as i was fed up measuring with a straight edge, height of tyre to work out the circumference and then what distance the wheel would be to the equal angle. Oh and some wing bling.

Yeah the guy at the adult toy shop was really kind and helpful and said if it arrived he would DPD it over free of charge. 10 mins later it arrived. Also got the bodies today! "It's Christmas EVERY day! Ohhh its Christmas EVERY day!"

That case ❤️

I scoured AliExpress earlier to see if you can buy the NB4 case separately and drew a blank. If anyone knows different please let me know.

Bodies arrived. Really, really top work from Jockeli. Need some slight trimming and stickered up, but really very happy!

Out of interest Alex, how much did these cost you? One of the things I am disgusted about Xray is the cost of hexs at £18 for a pair and refuse to pay that.

£5.19 delivered, they came from China and arrived in about 7 working days. 

 

I have no idea how the shipping is so cheap however I'm not moaning 🤣

I believe Chinese Government heavily subsidise international postage to encourage trade/production/exports. Like. HEAVILY subsidise.

Yeah i was shocked when my order arrived after 8 days. 15 days earlier than the estimate.

I never knew that, no matter who I order from they all go via the same places and considering the size of the country I find that surprising. 

[Kpowell911]

My first ever Plaza Japan order. Arrived within 8 days, the Rally Blocks were less than £3 a pair!! The BZ motor was £18 and the TRF Shocks were £42. Postage was £22 but still a bargain!

 

 

[Kpowell911]

Ignore the tyres. Theyre sub £3 cause theyre for an M Chassis 😂😂

[BigGinge]

Unlucky. 
 

the full size ones are still only £3 a pair though.

Unless you go for the fancy soft compound ones:

 

https://www.plazajapan.com/4950344548613/

 

They are much more expensive at £4 a pair!

 

Edit. Just looked closer at your picture, the tyres look like they are the 50476 parts which should be the standard rally block size tyres that fit the “normal” 10th scale models. Pretty sure that’s what I’ve got on my XV-01 at the moment (got a set of the soft ones on the TB-05 too).

We will see. Plaza is ridiculously cheap. Its worth doing a few £80 orders with £20 postage. The Yen is so weak right now. The motor is £53 here, £17odd there 😕

 

Hopefully youre right with the tyres

Lady up the road has a P1. I look at it with very, very  green eyes. Although if I was to have a scoob, money no object, it would be the 22B.

Anyone wanna buy an Xray XB4 for £150,000? Can throw in a free daughter who is good at cleaning.
