Re: So what did you get in the post today ???
HI!... Well some more stuff showed up on the weekend.
Tamiya Super Shot MSC. This one will be converted to a BigWig one. It actually came with the super rare resistor mounts. When I was restoring my original Super Shot it took me forever to find two of these :

CRP HotShot A-arm stabilizer :

A lot of tires/rims I got for $20. Most are new never run :

More Tamiya BigWig parts :

So that yellow tree holds BigWig parts?

Two lots of Alex Racing Barracuda parts.
Lot 1 (not pictured): chassis, top deck, shock towers, some arms, 2 gearbox covers, bumper + foam, battery cups and bar, tons of c-hubs and rear hubs. Not shown in the sale pics was the serious damage to the front of the chassis (doesn't matter, I wasn't going to use it anyway) and that the front shock tower is cracked and unusable
Lot 2: Barracuda R2 Special Edition with R3 suspension arms and several options (center one-way, front arm reinforcement set, full set of swing bars, ti-nitride suspension balls) + some spares, JR RX, servo and reversible ESC. So quite a good buy, except that both front shafts are bent (a spare one is included, I will need to track down another one) and one of the rear ball diff outdrives is broken (the tracking down of which is going to be a pain in the behind).
This is going to be mated with the 2-speed special chassis set I picked up earlier. I still need to check whether I have the correct center shaft parts (the center oneway may require different bits than the stock center shaft, and the 2-speed need the stock shaft
), and maybe I'll be adding Square alloy uprights (there's a bit too much play in the stock parts, IMHO).

It was a good day for pan car servos
Most were from Bud, a few missing a couple screws (lightweight lol) and shortened leads which is handy when done correctly

Finally!! Scored me a NIP Parma rally body after years of wanting one. Ever since Aug 1996 RCCA I've wanted to build a rally buggy. I just set it on this buggy to check how it fit.

It's a Vauxhall Astra body. The fenders are exaggerated quite a bit over the real car but I like the larger fenders. Reminds me of the old group b cars.

Thanks for the clarification. I like the look of the wide fenders, especially on racers. Should look awesome once it is painted.

Re: So what did you get in the post today ???
I'm loving that.... reminds me of my Nitro 10 rally cars.... and I've been a fan of that body since I saw one on the cover of one of the old British RC mags back in the day, talking about Rallycross (it used to be big, kiddies!).
Look forward to seeing a great paintjob on that..... white with red and yellow factory colours would suit, or maybe some blue and red with STP signage.... keep us updated!!!
