I've had blue aluminum shock caps making loops around Wisconsin for a month now. Just constantly going to three different USPS locations over and over and over again. Frustrating.

I had the same thing happen.

I went to my local post office and they were able to get someone at one of the other offices to pull the item aside and correct the tracking data.

If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.
A problem shared is a problem halved but an advantage shared is no advantage at all.

Now I've learnt that something I always dreamt would make life easier is not as great as imagined for a couple of reasons, I'm talking window masks , today was my first experience with them and my hopes were high for genuine Yokomo masks from a kit used on the body in the kit I mean what could go wrong ? Am I Dumb or what ? I anticipated it to be tricky on the 834b as it's a curved window but I can do tricky most days , after several attempts it became clear that the masks were not the same shape as the impression in the body for the windows , further the three pieces didn't even align with each other ! Grrrrrr still had to add more masking tape .

You need a Silhouette Cameo :-). When there is masks available, I generally do a quick scan to be able to do some additional masks, just in case. When there is none available, I draw the windows on a colored paper, cut them and scan them to be able to cut them in a masking sheet. Works great. And it allows me to cut other thin material for some other purposes (asking myself if I can mark a 3mm kydex sheet with it, by the way)...
I buy kits to build and ru(i)n them :-)

I may have to try that. Packaged stopped at one of the WI facilities with a tracking error message for 5 days last week. I called twice while it was there, it immediately started moving again after the 2nd call, but it started making the same loop again as before.

More progress on the wife's Stampede.

Swapped the rear carriers for RPM Nitro Rustler versions. HD half-shafts, one piece front axles, and 4mm turnbuckles. Also add a RPM rear skid (I needed one for another truck).

The shocks are Associated MT10 big bores, with standard truck length shafts.

The wheels and tires are from the Traxxas Bigfoot, all fronts (wide). It is 14" wide.

Also got a Team Brood Pulverizer 550 in it.
