RC10Talk - The Net's Largest Vintage R/C Community

I have two things in the mail, that will take a while to get here. The first is a decal sheet with custom colors from MCI, for a Corvette project I'm working on.

The second, I looked every day for a set of these, for months, placed WTB ads, they were nowhere to be found. Spotted these by accident last night, HPI Porsche Fuchs, 26mm front, 31mm rear. Going to have to skip a meal or two, but I'm so stoked to have finally found these! They are for a VW Bus model. Seller's pics:



What are you waiting on, currently?

...but we already have this topic:

I haven't got anything in the Post, I'm currently waiting on these parts... That's the reason I made a separate thread.

Not to be a party pooper, but it's a bit redundant.

If the mods need to close this, I'll understand.

I haven't received anything yet in the post, I'm anxiously awaiting parts, and that wait will be at least another week. If no one else can relate to that feeling, or appreciate what's on the way, I'll understand why it's so quiet in here.


Two more things I'm waiting on that are keeping me from finishing a project, are black nylon nuts for the steering, and the shock pins for the front arms. Can't do much until they arrive, should be early next week.



What's keeping you from finishing your project? Is it in the mail?

I bought a junk lot on eBay yesterday..... mostly for the Bandit parts, as I was gifted a Rustler missing parts to rebuild, so I should be able to create something usable. Plus, was a great price for what will hopefully give me the parts to rebuild one, and maybe even two, trucks.
Mostly junk from that view, but a few pearls amongst the swine.... hoping this works...
...and at the last moment, saw this:
So yeah, awaiting the postman.

Thats what I took the thread for. Perhaps simply "What are you currently waiting for" would a better subject title??

As hard as you've been searching for the Fuchs I can understand your excitement. Congrats by the way!

Nothing wrong with this thread being about parts people are more excited about receiving, or have fully stalled their project.

Ever read the first page of the "What are you watching" thread... that one got off to a dark start.

Dunno why you'd be so excited over that 59¢ heat sink when the AMB transponder is way more interesting.

I was looking at the crystal...

Much thanks! You know I've been hunting those exact wheels for about 7 months now; finding the wider rear and narrower fronts in the same auction was the ultimate needle in the haystack for me - that's that ol' rimplaysia acting up again .

I called it "What's in the Mail?", first, then added the second part to clarify the anxious waiting part.

The delivery date is what makes the wait bearable, you know it's on the way when it's in the mail, it's going to happen, but exactly when? - is the feeling.

Jealous..... haven't even had notification of my junk pile being shipped yet, so nothing to track. Seller is usually on the ball, too....


I want my junk, dogdammit!

Hope that mailman knows not to make you angry.

Can't go any further on this project, waiting for parts again.


In the mail currently.
40th axle shim kit - the original cone washers and flat washers were bent, one was nearly folded. Would cost too much to go NOS, went 40th instead.


A Team Novak T-1 from 1986, first one with temperature cutoff. This one will need to have the early molex connectors put back on.



ASC6256 for The Dead Pool project.


(2) more Proline Jaco donut sets for The Dead Pool project.
