I think the postie tried to deliver this today, but I was out
Means I have to wait for redelivery or drive 10 miles to the main sorting office in Bedford.
I think impatience may get the better of me

Bought some spares/repair laptop batteries from Oz a few years back, my Highlift came from USA, I sold a camera to someone in Russia earlier this year, oh & there was that gear set Edou had. As a general rule though, I try to keep the buying/selling inside the UK, mainly cos I don't quite get the whole import/export duty thing

Unlucky on the SRB bits Martin - I'm lucky, our postal depot is only 2 miles away & I drive past it on the way to work. I actually get stuff quicker doing that than when the postie abandons it with a neighbour (Or takes it home, or delivers it to someone else)

I have bought items from: China, Japan, Thailand, USA, UK and of course Australia, New Zealand Ohh and now Kuwait I have only had 1 issue and they refunded me so all good, I always check their rating and find the good ones in a bunch

edit: and I've never paid any extra duties or taxes........

Well I went to get the mystery parcel and it was the SRB bits
On the whole I'm pleased with them.



There is 1 complete MK1 gearbox case. Grubby but undamaged, with the bumper mounting lugs intact
LHS Mk1 gearbox case "modified"
Pair of MK1 swing arms (with the extra bearing space) in good condition
MK1 lower front suspension arm
Radio box case with broken lid (no receiver box)
Pair of Hop Up sponge tyres with drive shafts in reasonable condition
Rough Rider roof part (I have the rest of a RR shell)
Random bits of broken plastic and FRP, including bits of SS and RR bodyshell

With this lot, I have nearly enough to build two SRB's, probably as follows:
- Sand Scorcher with MK1 parts. Probably with Radshape chassis, Kamtec radio box and Kamtec Baja shell. Runner, but for "Sunday best".
- Rough Rider Hybrid with Apache front suspension, sponge rear tyres and my original shell. Probably double-decker type chassis similar to my TRX-3.

Now I just have to find the time...

another hopup for the Bruis

Hey all , Well a little bit ago I managed to pick up an original set of Wild One rims , The fronts had some aftermarket nobbies on them and nothing on the rear plus they have been spray painted silver (since these are for running, no big deal )




So today my new tyre set arrived from Japan



stoked...Andy.

must have been a good boy this year, Saint Nicolas dropt something off today.



loads of goodies







NICE!


not sure what these are good for?


Are these Tamiya, if yes when did they change the star thingy?


Another hop-up for the TF.


GPM? it is for the TA02

in the "not sure what these are good for" pic, the grey thing is a front body mount for Holiday Buggy. The black bits are either TL01 or HBX Bonzer battery holder ends.

It's quite possible the star-shaped diff spiders are also HBX Bonzer
