What did the postie bring you today?

[markymarky]

Last of the Baja bling, just thought get it all and be done with it. 

Rear shock towers, rear shock mount, rear bumper and a couple of titanium pins for the upper rear arms. 

Can concentrate on the 5ive now after this. 

 

 

[Stormbringer]

With all that bling youl need to wear sunglasses when driving it 😎

[stretch]

Some exciting grease. Normally use carlube aquaslip but tin is massive and wanted something I could chuck in the pit box.

 

[Kpowell911]

The first part of my next project which wont be for a while (unless I sell my Top Force Evo or Astute 2022 which Ive never used…….)

 

 

L&L Porsche 959 Body, and some 3D Printed wheels. Ive ordered a better set of decals which are on their way. 
 

Now this was going to sit on a cheap MF-01X Jimny, and I was going to sell the body and wheels/tyres so it would have been a reletively cheap RC (Id struggle to find the driveshaft I know). 
 

But I really enjoyed my SRX build so Im going to splash out on an XM-01 Pro. Im either going to wait a few weeks/months to fund it (as I have a BT-01 Porsche 2.7 on order next) or more than likely sell my Top Force or my Astute

 

[Lone-wolf]

I would still go with the MF-01X Jimny much cheaper to buy plus selling of surplus bits brings cost down more and lets be honest for a shelf queen the MF is a nice chassis, here is the long shaft  https://www.timetunnelmodels.com/live/catalog/tamiya-54655-prop-shaft-p-71701.html

 

and here is Jimny  https://www.timetunnelmodels.com/live/catalog/tamiya-58614-suzuki-jimny-without-custom-deal-bundle-p-57650.html

Its the short shaft I need. Rare as unicorn poo.

 

Also hoping to save some cash by buying the XM abroad but we will see?

WELCOME TOOOOOOO

SEASON (TT0) TWO OF What Did The Postie Bring @SimplyChunk For September?? I totally didn't finish these series too early!

 

On our series premier of well you just read it so I hope you know what it is we are seeing: a holy bunch o' crap. 

Lanyards! Tool boxes! Receivers and more!!!!! 

 

Starting with our first delivery:

 

We got some lanyards to go on our transmitters, just as a safety precaution cause of my clumsiness! 

On the left is Simplychunks, and on the right is mine. 

 

Simplychunk got me a toolbox so I can start keeping all my bits and pieces in it for my cars. 

He has already starting moving some of my bits from my boxes into the toolbox for me 😄

 

x2 DumboRC X6F Receivers 

 

x1 DumboRC X6DCG

 

A pair of pliers and side cutters because I'm not already a danger to myself 

 

x1 shock pit stands

 

A used M2A1 ammo crate for my rechargeable C4

 

Heres my storage charged batteries already chilling inside 😄 (thank you babes) 

 

And onto the main event... 

I bought a TT02 chassis, it has a few hop ups included with it, thank you @Kpowell911 for the LandL suggestion, but we got this from ebay instead for that much more money. 

 

There is going to be a few more episodes after this because I still have to order myself a bodyshell for the TT02, but I haven't been able to settle on anything just yet. I like the look of the BMW M3E30, but I'm still unsure about it. 

Any suggestions are welcome 😄

 

Thanks for stopping in!

See you soon.

Intrigued to see what shell you put on the TT02 🙂 

[bunnie]

I liked the dumborc ddf-350 so much I got another (and due to only been able to store 10 cars on it which ain't enough for me) also got some hex drill bits, 2 sets of wheel nuts/covers and another 4x dumborc recievers

 

[Stormbringer]

A new radiator grill and some decals for the TRX4m

and some other bits n bobs for the TRX4 and TRX6

 

[Lone-wolf]

A second 550 brushed motor for my element gatekeeper i got a 55t 550 from injora and it has a stutter/misfire on it and to slow, so got a 35t 550 from MS and it has a very short shaft and the mounting screws hit the inside moving parts, looks like im back to the stock motor

[ghazghul]

Some ukmonsters delrin body mounts for the clod, which I instantly chopped the long ones in half, drilled them through and tapped and added some extra grub screws.   Now I can run the fronts half length for the basher body, at a nice low stance, or thread the chopped off extra section on to run the original hardbody at stock height.

[markymarky]

Fuel system stuff for the 5ive.

Fuel tank, grommet, filter, mounting kit and fuel line/fittings.

I showed @Skyesgaming one today that she really liked and it's kinda on-brand with the one I want too 🙂 

[steephill]

Some desert lizard shocks in lovely ktm looking orange and two traxxas diff spools to get rid of the open diffs for a Trx4 lcg build, thanks modelsport 👍. 

And another cheap aliexpress body, 13 quid, looks just like a Ftx texan body. 

And two ar44 compatible overdrive gears. 

 

[Stormbringer]

nice little haul mate

Welcome back to the second episode in season two of:

 

What the heck did we buy this time? How much more do we have to buy before we're done?

 

In the mail this time Simplychunk received for me: a shock plier, a ball joint tool, a hex/driver box set, R-Clips with rubber retainers, repair stands, a bearing insert/removal tool, A Hobbywing 1060 RTR Brushed.

Received not in the mail: A cheap sewing box from Poundland (with a picture how Simplychunks sets up his). 

 

Starting with the shock plier: 

 

The Ball Joint Tool:

 

The Hex/Driver/Box set:

 

The bearing insert/removal tool (with a little glimpse of another product :O): 

 

The R-Clips with rubber retainers: 

 

2x repair stands: 

 

The Hobbywing 1060 RTR Brushed ESC: 

 

And here is the cheap little sewing box from Poundland: 

 

Here is some images of how Simplychunk sets up his sewing box: 

 

We still have a couple more things to order for my TT02, but we're waiting just a little bit longer before we do that since we still have a couple of months until September.

Really looking forward to our little project(s) now. We really have a lot to do/look forward to come September. 

 

Thank you babes for inviting me on this journey with you ❤️ 

[Stormbringer]
