The official “What’d ya get in the mail today?!? thread!! 🤩

I bought Breydon the Lamborghini for Xmas. I think he got to the 3rd page or so and there it still sits. The boy has the attention span of a Roomba in a daycare after a birthday party.

He got almost to the second bag until he realized he has to take it pretty much all apart cause he put one side of the block in upside down and the crank won’t turn

I received my new Vanquish Origin Classic kit in the mail today. I have the chassis put together and will order my wheels, tires, paint and a new receiver tonight.

I have to say, this kit was a bit frustrating compared to the H10 Optic kit. Installing the front axle and all the associated parts was where most of the frustration came. The instructions seemed lacking regarding what exact order linkages needed to be assembled. I had to take some things apart and reassemble a second time to insure I could access the fasteners for some of the parts.

But on the positive side, everything fit perfectly and there was not a single piece of missing hardware. Quality is excellent. Overall, a positive experience.

I installed a Hobbywing Fusion Quicrun Pro 2300kv motor/ESC combo and an AGFRC 32kg coreless digital programmable servo. I'll pick up a receiver for my FlySky GT-3B to complete the electronics.

There's nothing much to look at yet. I'll post some nice photos when I get the body painted.

Here's a really poor iPod Touch photo. I'm one of the 1%'ers who doesn't own a mobile phone and I don't feel like breaking out the big camera...

"Cordless" is also what my spell-checker wanted to change "coreless" to as I had typed that post!

Thanks @Littlemotor for making it happen. It was well packaged and arrived safely after travelling across the globe and eventually made it through Australian customs Legit seller for sure.

Do you get snow that far north on the north island?

I’ll have to use the “too may irons in the fire” excuse then..

For some perspective-this is just some of what’s going on currently at the Littlemotor Compound..
