Now received, and based on the sticker on it it competed in the 9th Final of the Kyosho Cup

Quick rundown of the options it's equipped with on first sight:
- Kyosho teflon shocks + tuned springs
- carbon top deck
- ventilated steel brake disk
- alloy center diff mount
- 2-speed
- front and rear wing bars
- alloy steering
- light forward drive shaft
- Team alloy chassis
- carbon steering plate
- foam bumper
- carbon front shock stay
- turnbuckles
- Tamiya OS Max engine with optional carburator(?)
- front and rear CVDs
- delrin lower arms (probably Form)
- tuned pipe
- possibly titanium hinge pins

So basically a nearly full-options FW-04 for 80 bucks (and 20 Euro import charges). That will work out nicely with the McLaren F1 body I have...


Also, soooo tempted to make it my first nitro runner...

Same thing applies.... if you want it, you bid for it. If you bid the high amount, you get it. Pretty simple, really.

HI!... Exactly. If I want it, I'm going to get it plain and simple. The only time I bail on a item is if the bidding goes crazy and I can get it elsewhere for cheaper.

Yup

Friend dropped off a ton of 1/12 nip rims and unused green foams. Said her ex left it. I don't even own a 12th scale RC. SMH.

Vintage Reedy goodness.

sounds like its time to pick one up

A NIB one

HI!... O.k got a few things today.

1st is a Team Associated RC10 mid motor. Probably going to redo this one. The smurf blue is not my thing. All the plastic will be dyed black as well.









It came with a spare "A" gold chassis as well :










Got a bunch more Tamiya BigWig stuff as well. I'm currently working on #5 and #6 at the same time.




Also picked up a almost complete Tamiya BigWig car. This one caught my eye because it had some rare items on it. Never seen the front or rear sway bar set-ups before? Also it has a fiberglass rear shock support, and 50% of a after market front bumper. The Moon Craft wheels are in excellent shape and it has the original Technigold motor in it. Too bad it's missing the sub chassis and MSC. The body was painted very well. Just not my choice of colours. lol!






















Also got a assortment of tires/wheels. 90% NEW. The black rims are aluminum and look to be never used. Don't know who makes them?








Also got a black RC10 stealth trans and extra parts :








Picked up a set of original vintage Tamiya Grasshopper decals as well :

Picked up a few goodies this last week and half. My favorite is a new assembled replacement of the first 4WD buggy I ever had. A JConcepts BJ4 that came along with a few new parts as well. I'm now in the hunt for a BJ4 Worlds car or conversion.

Got these today from MCI on eBay. For being repros they are pretty nice although not 100% accurate. The corner lights on the T2 for example are yellow and don't recall them being that color. I remember them being silver in color. Then the tail lights and corner light on the 10T are also off in the color they are. Still nice to have so I don't have to use my original decal sheets on a runner.

Not quite in the post.... yet.... hoping this lot arrives tomorrow, and then I'll put up some more photos. However, to whet the appetites of everyone watching, here's some quick pics from the auctions:





Not able to identify everything as yet, but so far I've been able to ID:
- JRX2 A3003 Gear covers
- Robinson Racing JRX2 spur gear
- RPM battery box for JRX2 or RC10
- RC10 front anti-roll bar x2
- Thorp Raider 'Diffrential' and a spare unidentified gear
- JG Optima top chassis plate
- CRP Tamiya shock rebuild kit, shock tower (Optima?), Ultima truck axles, counter gear (Scorpion?), Hotshot a-arm stabilisers
- Bolink Raider body mount kit (x2?)
- Yokomo wheel hubs for Optima and Ultima, '93 arms, MR4-TC parts
- Marui Samurai bevel gears
- Nichimo LSD gears
- Heaps of Kyosho parts, including OR28 body mounts, AB4, AB28, DE-1 Baja Bugs gear set, EF-20 gears (Plazma?), SB-6 Shadow diffs, FI-16 shocks, MB-60 "Rough Road Engine Series" gears

Heaps of stuff, looking forward to it all arriving!

Alex

Well, my parts (pictured above) finally arrived. To say I'm pleased is an understatement!!! Couple of the unidentified items now have IDs:
- Big Grizzly BG-9 Gear Set
- CRP shock tower is indeed a rear item for an Optima (to mount long RC10 shocks)
- Thorp diff gear is #4681 Ultima Diff Gear 48P
- Yokomo arms marked as ZC-408C '93 arms are in fact Andy's parts.....
- TA Air Cleaner Foam (WOW!)
- Some ABC boat nitro and boat parts

Got to say, that Thorp Raider ball diff is a thing of beauty!!!!!

The fiberglass shock tower in the ziploc bag looks like an A&L trailing arm tower for an Ultima.

Thanks for that mate..... I thought it looked familiar, but am in no way certain. I think I'll put some pics up in the "WTF is this" thread of a few of the items I've yet to conclusively ID.

I was eyeballing that car, glad someone on here got it. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it
