Yeah then I will have an excuse to build a sandpit :lol:

Nearly finished the painting just waiting for some decals to turn up and then I can put the lacquer on and hope my HPI Baja rear wing turns up and get fitting that hopefully :)

Still waiting to have a run with the new wheels damn work and weather don't seem to have a decent day between them :(

Edit: Painting is finished but could be better but then again I'm only going to crash this at some point plus it needs a lacquer but otherwise its ok :D

just a thought fella, are you guna stiffen those side mounts? only askin cause mines a fiberglass shell and mine snaped first run out plus with no roof or nose body mounts it might be to much for the shell to cope with!
 
Good point, I have some red anodised aluminium I can cut and make some strips to support the post holes with, might give it a go before it take it out for a run.
 
i would mate cause after a week of sandin, paintin and fittin to take it out on its first run and rip the shell off wasnt good mate :lol::lol:

Had a slight chip in the paint when ripping the masking tape off :( but ok apart from that really quite pleased on how it looks now :eek:
 
love it any chance of a pic of the body mounts youve use or made im sick of my tub and want to trim off the arches on mine there only in the way and started looking crapy due to cracks so im going to lower the shell down like this cheers
 
Used the standard mounts and made them roughly an inch shorter and drilled bolted em up with the stainless steel reinforced strip on the body post holes, hope you can see how from these.
