What was included:
- Super-nice condition PB Maxima box
- Set of four Optima rear wheels and tyres, painted silver and gold, for some reason
- Two motors; a silver can, and a Kyosho Le Mans 480Gold
- Some random PB parts, including a NIP Battery Charger Socket pack

For the price, I can't not be happy :mrgreen: 8)

Some second hand wireless Futaba receivers,
The modern stuff is so easy and tidy to install, got 3 x R204GF-E, and 2 X R404SBS-E,
Got a good deal on the package lot, at 9pm at night, and the guy dropped in my letter box by 7am the next morning.
Thanks Shane Oconner, top bloke

Couple of packages in the post today.....

First one, contained a set of new Louise beadlock Short Course wheels and tyres, with a set of hex adapters (12mm, 14mm, 17mm), a Reedy 3300kv brushless motor, a Skalar 17.5T brushless motor, and a NIP Tamiya TBLE-02S ESC.

Second one contained two Protoform 1557-30 Chevrolet Corvette C7R bodies.

Motors and ESC will go into the pile, ready to be pit into the next project. SC wheels and tyres will go on either the Losi or Durango SCT, when I eventually finish one of those projects (:lol: :oops:). Corvette bodies may just end up as the next touring chassis project ;)

I have no idea what parts are available for it. I'm keeping this one together because it's mostly complete, but if I come across a sway bar set I'll keep you in mind.

If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.

I've been hunting for this chassis for a while. It's nice to be able to end that search. A nice Revtech mod motor popped up as well.

I've got a set of those rears on my basher car. Mine are dyed black, because they had a weird dark red dye job when I got them.
