Just got back from a 2hr round trip ride to pick up some nice goodies from a local trading site, very happy (GREAT price)

HI!... MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Technigold goodness................

the australian dream

HI!... O.k got a few things today.

1st is a Team Associated RC10 mid motor. Probably going to redo this one. The smurf blue is not my thing. All the plastic will be dyed black as well.

It came with a spare "A" gold chassis as well :

Got a bunch more Tamiya BigWig stuff as well. I'm currently working on #5 and #6 at the same time.

Also picked up a almost complete Tamiya BigWig car. This one caught my eye because it had some rare items on it. Never seen the front or rear sway bar set-ups before? Also it has a fiberglass rear shock support, and 50% of a after market front bumper. The Moon Craft wheels are in excellent shape and it has the original Technigold motor in it. Too bad it's missing the sub chassis and MSC. The body was painted very well. Just not my choice of colours. lol!

Also got a assortment of tires/wheels. 90% NEW. The black rims are aluminum and look to be never used. Don't know who makes them?

Also got a black RC10 stealth trans and extra parts :

Picked up a set of original vintage Tamiya Grasshopper decals as well :

Yes but it was originally only 1 goldie, it wasn't until I called that they mentioned the other bits

Wanted an Astue to go with my Top Force basher for ages

Nice one Did it come with the body? gee enough shock oil

Yea came with body wing and under tray but they were beyond saving.

Lol yea its like a joke with me every buggy I pick up from eBay I end up with shock oil in the deal.

On the topic of body any one used Kamtec as a body supplier I have seen the Astute body with wing and under tray on eBay for 30 pounds yet Team Blue Groove do the same body and wing for 30 pounds + 18.95 delivery are the kamtec bodies any good or should I pay more for the quality I know of TBG's reputation of doing nice polycarbonate bodies.

I picked a replacement Porsche shell from TBG and are very happy with it or will you go for a genuine version?
