Re: So what did you get in the post today ???
Thanks. The Andy's Jaguar for the Agitator is in real nice shape but the one for the 10L isn't perfect. The unpainted body is an Associated Nissan GTP with a good amount of shelf wear scratches but no cracks; the blue/white one looks un-run but has an amateurish paint job; the blue/purple is the most used with a good size split in the hood.
My major want in the lot was the Sees wheels on the 10L and they're in excellent shape so I'm very happy. They'll be going on my sprint car.

I got some carbon fiber tube to use for axle tubes on one of my SRB's

Re: So what did you get in the post today ???
Hmm, they offer smaller sizes that might work for that. They could probably be carefully tapped if the wall thickness allows. The tubes I got are the exact same size as the original SRB axle tubes. I was either going to use a stock center axle (threaded ends) or maybe no tube at all. But maybe I could find a correct size center tube to try to tap! I'll keep you posted on that.

Re: So what did you get in the post today ???
depending on what kind of abuse you plan to put them thru you could fill the ends with epoxy and then drill and tap them...

Re: So what did you get in the post today ???
If they are component grade construction and the correct resin was used the should be tap-able. A buddy of mine used to use them as captured hinge pins in dirt oval cars.
If they are Chinese, they probably won't tap well, most of the CF parts from there are basically ornamental only

I got a couple of 235mm 1/10th bodies today. One is a Camaro and the other, a Parma pug 306 rally (I had one of these on a Bosscat bitd ) I can see a rally car build in my future

Re: So what did you get in the post today ???
Nice I'm still looking for a suitable 235mm for my mate's Ex-Dez Chand Predator wide-track touring car - a Pug 405 would be ideal but I think that was a Frewer shell.
There was a time when the 190mm Parma touring shells where the ones to have - combining relatively realistic looks with decent handling characteristics, the modern-day shells from HPI & Protoform etc are much more generic aero blobs with some lights & grill to distinguish one from another! I'm currently painting up a Parma ClodBuster shell - I forgot how nicely moulded they were, & made from some sturdy Lexan!

Re: So what did you get in the post today ???
The older shells have so much more detail than the modern touring cars. If I was being honest, I would much rather have a Metro 6R4 or a Pug 205 MI16, but hey... I also quite fancied this 235mm shell on ebay right now, but the price is eyewatering http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PARMA-Ferrari-348-1-10-scale-Lexan-polycarbonate-body-shell-for-R-C-cars-10308-/261255037029?pt=UK_ToysGames_RadioControlled_JN&hash=item3cd4038065DerbyDan wrote: Nice I'm still looking for a suitable 235mm for my mate's Ex-Dez Chand Predator wide-track touring car - a Pug 405 would be ideal but I think that was a Frewer shell.

Re: So what did you get in the post today ???
Ouch! Surely nobody will buy it at that price.... I think my uncle still has an unpainted Parma flatnose 911 shell which he was going to fit onto his ThundershotCAT3K wrote:
