The gem in this haul, for me, is without a doubt the Tamiya Vajra Upper Deck for less than 30 Euro/34 Dollars. Too cheap to resist ... so maybe it's time to awaken the Thunderbolt some day soon. I definitly have no other excuse than time now. Coincidentally, The Vajra is actually Tamico's 'Offer of the Week' at the time of this upload. Check it out for 222,22€. Not the greatest basher and runner, but for a Tamiya-enthusiast it's either a model that one dislikes or likes very much.

Also got some parts for my Tamiya DB-02 project and a rebuild of my Tamiya DF-02 (again again!). 

And then a few parts to try optimizing my field kit, which right now consists of too many boxes and tools. So a multi-driver and a neat little box should sort out the mess. I will probably make a video out of this soon.

Ball bearing oil, tire glue and damper oil is essential for most of us, so I got some more. I have a large selection of soft and medium damper oil from Tamiya but needed some new harder damper oil, for some of my Tamiyas and perhaps another shot at refilling the oil filled dampers of my WLToys A959/a959-b. Tried that some time ago with some medium oil, and with the small screw-head-pistons it wasn't really a great combination (see previous video).

Then there is all the battery equiptment. LiPo safety bags, LiPo-checkers and charging cables. Not the most exciting but quite necessary.

Feel free to pause the video, copy the article number or the name of the item and search for it on Tamico.de (or other places) to find the current prices or/and availability. And feel free to ask me any questions. I sincerely hope other RC enthusiasts will follow this example, and maybe make a few videos of their own RC hauls. For me, it's always interesting to see what items are available on the market, that could help one in the hobby, and see what other's are purchasing and maybe recommend. Not just the big hauls with expensive models, but also the small necessities, parts, bits and pieces that is needed every day in this hobby.
