What did the postie bring you today?

Recommended Posts

Was browsing eBay whilst my Mrs watched the Rugby on Saturday (im not into Rugby) and I noticed this. Had a long chat with the guy selling it, lovely guy, and struck a deal. It arrived today.

Now you may be thinking, why has he bought that old TA02 for? Hasn't he just sold 5 of those for a 'clear out'?

 

Well yes, but when I bought my Tamiya Repsol Cosworth, I didnt have the correct wheels. Ill be honest, I prefer the fake Rally Style ones I have on it, but recently Ive been making some perfecting tweaks to my stable, so I decided to get the period correct kit ones.

 

I'm not going to lie and say Ive been looking every day for #50711, but when they did come up, the seemed to be very expensive or battered. From my limited knowledge, they only came on the 1 Cosworth model. I'm sure an expert will let me know I could have got some from 'X' but hey, I have 4, decent. condition ones now.

They will end up on this

As I say, I probably prefer the ones that are on it, but hey. This is how it should be and how I remember it.

 

It also gives me a spare chassis, so I can move my Mitsubishi Evo 7  WRC off my SRX onto this chassis (Rally car, rally chassis) and Ive picked a road car shell for my SRX (Touring Car Shell for a Touring Car).

 

Make sense? It does to me! I think!

Two sets of 1.9 beadlock wheels, both black. One set are the steel stamped deep dish. I like those because they're like the steel wheels I put on my off roaders. 

The other set are black aluminium six spokes. 

A 5 slot 550 motor for one of the crawlers. 

A waterproof receiver box for £1.55, bargain! 

And some magnetic body mounts for the hard body builds.

All of the wheels I've bought are from Injora, quality and good price.
