Rc Fj40v

[Enigma]

Thanks for the update Mot. ANd to anyone considering buying one...in my best Ben Stiller impersonation 'just do it'.
They make a great present from your <insert spousal equivalent type here) to yourself, or just buy it for yourself and tell your other half they have done their christmas shopping already. Or just go buy it 'cuz we are all big kids at heart and who wouldnt want one!

Enigma,

THANKS!

MOT, don't give her one of these RC 40's. Go get her something nice.

If I told you what I really got her I'll never hear the end of it from you guys.


























I got her a pair of knee pads.

SERIOUSLY!

Anyway, not that you care, but I'm going to take my kid to school this morning and have a couple of errands to run, but I'm still planning on putting one in the box, and posting pics later on.

I'm also trying to con someone in the forum into buying a couple of them.

THANKS for your patience!

Some of you might think that it might be a bit of an overkill.
But I've seen boxes that get punctured holes all over the place and I did not want to take any chances with this baby! I think it came out fairly nice.

Anyway, I'm hoping that I will be able to get everybody's shipped out either on Thu. or Fri.

I've got six individuals so far that are going to take eight of these units. All but one have paid for them, including for shipping. (The other person just needs to pay the shipping). I have a couple of more people that are tempted as we speak.

Anyway, I will keep you posted and will give you the tracking information once they get sent off.

BTW, if you haven't already, PLEASE PM me your telephone numbers to be put on the airway bill. Also, let me know if you would like me to check where it says "gift" and/or how much you would like me to declare it for. I have heard (could be not true) that a US resident are OK to receive something like upto $400US worth of stuff from abroad w/o being taxed. BUT DON'T QUOTE ME ON IT!!!

Anyway, stay tune!

THANKS!

I've got most of them boxed up, just need to fill out the airway bills tonight or tomorrow morning before shipping them tomorrow (my Friday).

I'm going to have to edit the prices as after taking everything into consideration it appears that I'm doing this as a Mud charity drive, instead of a side business.

But as I said, I'm not going to charge any of you who have paid already anything on top of what you have paid.

I was up, but not too with it to post.

I can't believe it myself, but I was able to send all 12 FJ40's and a couple of extra boxes loaded up in my 80, hauled them down to one of the bigger post offices in town, and got them sent off this afternoon.

I'm sending those of you who placed your orders a PM with generic text (copy/paste) to give you the tracking info.

I'm curious to see who gets it first and where you're located.

I've noted in the PM, but please allow a couple of days before your shipment shows up on the system.

I would LOVE to see their/your action pics.

As you could see, I took great care in getting more-than-adequate (overkill?) package job, but PLEASE let me know if you encounter any problems. Not that I know the first thing about r/c's I would like to make sure that you're happy!

I still have a few red ones left and am planning on ordering more yellow and blue/green ones as well.

THANKS AGAIN!

David,

Glad to hear that they're there and that the boxes/package have done a good job of taking the abuse.

Hope you can find spare batteries easily as Rusty has mentioned.

Jake,

Probably because of the wrong tracking number entered. Chances are it's probably I had given you the wrong one. Maybe I missed the "JP" at the end. In the rare case that I did give you the right one it makes it easier if you could just copy and paste the info I gave you, rather than trying to punch in yourself.

I'll check your number when I get to your receipt at my old place and will let you know.

[edit]
I've just checked the info. that I gave you and it is indeed incorrect. I'm very sorry for this and I will take a look at your airway bill in about exactly three hours when I can get to it after dropping my kid off at school and will give you the correct number, or ask the post office what happened to your package if it's the right info. (I don't think that's the case here though). Stay tuned!
[/edit]

Mine showed up today also mot. Just checked up front and it was sitting there. Screens and RC came through perfect.

I'm glad that you got yours safe and sound, too!

THANKS guys for getting them from me!
