Popular Post Kpowell911 Posted April 9 Popular Post Share Posted April 9 Ive been very quiet on the RC front. A genuine bit of RC fatigue, Ive not even been interested in catching up on forums or RC Youtubers, Traxxas have released a new Maxx Slash which is right up my street yet I havent pulled the trigger and I am unlikely too. Truth is, Id picked up most of the RCs I wanted (the Tamiya R34s, NSX, Supra and various Porsches) and I kinda felt Ive achieved everything with my RCs…. However, I had an Audi A4 on order at my local modelshop, and last week I did my usual eBay searches and made a purchase. Must be a sign as today as I was leaving for work, I got a parcelforce notification a parcel was out for delivery, and on my lunch break, I got a text saying my A4 was in at my local modelshop. So a double RC Day. Also picked up some paint etc Audi A4 TT-01E. Such an iconic shell IMO. Obviously a rere but itll be built as a shelfer so no problems. Now this is also a rere. I missed out on the original ReRe run, so had to pay over RRP, but I still got this for sub £200 all in which I think is acceptable. Its also on a TA03RS, quite a rare chassis that Ive never actually built. Of Course its the Porsche 911 GT1 Street. I do wonder if I could obtain some “race version” decals? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steephill Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Desert lizard 110mm shocks. I really like those shocks, got several sets. The 110mm are for trying out on my Trx4 high trail, gonna see what it looks like lowered on 1.9s. A set of injora steel deep dish wheels, Trx4 bumper posts and some black wheel nuts, 10 for about £2.50 ish, good value and good wheel nuts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitroholic Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Postman brought me a small vac former. A4 sized base, which will be perfect for my plans to make shells for my micro RC helicopters, plus a number of other small projects I have planned. First, though, I need to 3D print the formers for what I want. Then I can make the shells. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post markymarky Posted April 17 Popular Post Share Posted April 17 (edited) Big old motor and ESC 😁 ESC receiver cable could do with being an extra few inches to make it tidier. Will get some smaller black cable ties, the only ones i have are big and chunky, might even use black tape to hold the ESC cable to the cage. Surprised how smooth it actually runs.

Popular Post markymarky Posted April 18 Popular Post Share Posted April 18 Not the post man but had this dropped off to me at work 😊 Yet to have a proper look but the engine looks completely mint, I may have found one of the last Losi 5ives in original condition in existence! Even the controller looks unused. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was extra 😉 Doesn't fit in my car without the seats down and didn't want to leave it on view while i was still at work so bought it inside, easier than carrying it 😁 Edited April 18 by markymarky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always draws me in for things I never knew I needed lol Also always check for the discount code within the app. Add it to the basket even if it don't look relevant and it might say can't be used but then check your price and 99% of the time it's been added. Every penny counts right now 👌 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
