Wtf... Anyhow, what does one do if they need those plastic stealth trans motor guard spacers?


These little guys

Those can be easily 3D printed, if needed.

Thanks pal. I found some aluminum spacers that will work.

Need a better charger? Get a better charger.... or 2.

A servo connector kit, should allow some tidy wiring

Well that was not cool... I was told two guys showed up in a white compact car at 9:00 tonight and seemed to be snooping around, and then left. Come to discover they left a package on the front porch. I instantly knew what is was but didn't expect that whatsoever.

Ten days ago I bought a pair of rear aluminum beadlock wheels from China. Today they made it to northern New Jersey and said they were out for delivery but I'm at least 2 hours away. I figured it was a tracking glitch, and they'd be here tomorrow or Monday. They were sent via a company called SpeedPAK who then passes the packages off to the USPS here in America. So I don't know what the story is but am not happy about it. Also, they weren't even shipped in a box, just a thin padded envelope. I don't know how in the heck they arrived unscathed. At least they're here I guess.

A couple of 1/8 AE nitro onroad cars. Went to go buy one, and the seller had another ready to go, so a combo deal was met.

The original deal. RC200 w/ RPM Disc Brake. Car is broken down, but is 90%+ complete from what I can see; at least all the big stuff is there.



Then the add-on deal. RC300. I don't like the plastic independent front cars as much as the solid axles, but went with it. Main issues are that it is missing engine mounts and the chassis is toast, but will work that out.

Picked up this awesome rc10 body with a vintage Warpaint paintjob. Shipped in a padded mailer (ugh, just dont) but it got here safe.

I'm tired of getting things shipped improperly. If you can't package an item in a box that needs to be in a box, don't sell it in the first place as you're just asking for trouble. That's my segue into the 1997 Tower Hobbies catalog I got in the mail today which was packed amazingly for once. I've been buying catalogs for a number of years now, and the lack of care and effort is astounding.

I probably received more items packed poorly than I do packed well. Particularly irritating because I'm a vintage hot wheels collector as well as a rc addict, and those should be really easy to pack. No, shipping a $200 hot wheels car in a glorified plastic bag is not acceptable.

Anyone know if the FanRC stealth trans case fits the original RC10 ball diff?

No it does not fit the original stealth diff. Gotta use the fanRC diff. Or get an original stealth case

New motor for the storage case, lol.

The last one that really hurt for me was 5 years ago when I bought several NIP Cirrus CS-80 clear case servos for $20 off eBay which was an amazing deal! What showed up was an empty bubble mailer with a giant hole in it. The seller claimed they had their receptionist package the servos, and they mistakenly sent them via media mail. I was refunded, and I didn't peruse it at all with the USPS. I figured that would be a lost cause, and I'd just buy some more when they came up for sale. Well... a month or two after those got lost in the mail, the price of them skyrocketed to astronomical levels. It still bothers me to this day obviously.
