Default The search is over - Holy grail found...

I picked up a Kinwald XXX new in box when I lived in the US in 2007, and wanted this Trinity part for it, but could not find a new one. I came back to the UK 2009 and have continued the search ever since. This came through the post today via an old friend in the US, the hobby store would not ship international. It was in the sale as well - $15 plus $7 postage. Yeah, maybe I'm a real saddo, but I would love to hear your stories on finding rare parts and what they were, or what you are still looking for - we all have a Holy grail, and this was mine!

For me, it's the Wasp alloy front transmission for the Schumacher XLS/Procat. I've seen two come up for sale in the past 18 months but missed out on them both!

Nice find, ive managed to get a shed load of spares for my vintage prototype directly from the manufacturer Kyosho 20 years after they were made, they did a search in their own time for me in their hq warehouse.

Now I'm hunting for the WASP geared rear transmission, I know where there's at least 1 but he won't sell it
