Maybe not the postman, but I think we get the gist. Christmas present.
So Tamiya have just released this body kit, I’m assuming off the back of the street version release. I’ve got it to help with a rally car rebuild I started a couple of years ago. The body that I had with that restoration is a bit of a wreak, I do plan on trying to fix it, but at least with this new body shell I can make a nice job of it 🤞.
 

Interesting that the roof scoop is included on this sprue.

 

This next lot really did come via the postman.
I bought this lot for 2 dog bones ????
I’m sure I’ll find a use for most of the other bits eventually, who knows ??

Hi Alan,

I have the same body pre ordered and I like that it has the roof scoop also. I also ordered the Castrol livery (from MCI) to mimic the original kit.

Nice ORV lot too.

Cheers Jim, I’ve got the MCI decals tucked away somewhere.

The Super Astute and f A ux stute have arrived:

🤩🤩🤩🤩 and the street devil...🥰🥰🥰

Happy new year to me! And all of you of course.
Not exactly mail man, I'm from South Africa, our mail service is mostly non existent. I opted to make the drive to collect this box of shiny blue goodness. Boy did i score on this lot purchase. Deceased estate, the family broker was left to sell off everything. Long story short, he had no idea what he had. Another three TRF chassis posts to follow when i pick them up.

 

 

Tyres for The Frog resto. Plus some old school plastic aerial tubes for some other projects. 
 
Servos ( plus some spares ), servo saver ( I found an unused one of these in a spares box, handy for another time as long as I remember I have it ?? ) and rubber axle boot for Frog resto, plus more front tyres.
 
MSC fitted to the Frog build ( but arrived in the post the other day). This I suspect came of a Blazing Blazer due to the length of the motor wires, but it’s exactly the same.
 
And finally wheels and tyres for my ORV Scorcher build.
 

This came in the mail yesterday.An unused Acoms AP-227!A little worn box but the contents are completely MINT.Also comes with a Norwegian price list dated 1/5-1981

I am loving this delivery today! If there's anyone in the know, please comment:

* Wave Stock Motor year released? I wish the turns was filled in, but I'll just test for RPM at least.

* Race Prep Battery is said to be 2000mAh - Agree? Any other info like approx. year?

* Sanyo N-1200SCR has date SC code - 3/1988 Agree?

* I emailed Kawada and they actually sent me info on it (and my MX-1) and said 1992

Boy do those motors bring back memories! Nice score.

The cadnica stick is a handmade stick surely selected cells like the pink stick. In races pilots select each cell to have an equilibred stick.
I had a cadnica in 88 89 and was largely better than my old sticks varta.

Bet these don't come up often!
