kiza1208 Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Just a quick question. Does anyone know how to cut down a shell as the rear wheel arch is to far back for my car. And do I cut the arch or roof? Thanks for looking kieran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewan.Mackay Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 What shell are you talking about? If its for a basher I wouldnt cut and shorten it because you will just absolutely destroy it the first bad landing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiza1208 Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 Its a dodge ram shell. I want it to be a scale look bit it is to long for my nitro chassis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super sharp shooter Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 I've just brought a grafil shell and was planning on using the Dremel with the cutting disc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Try cutting a small amount that won't affect the rest, if that makes sense. Grafil have a very bad reputation, or HAD! Older shells are said to have been made from poor quality material that splits and cracks - this will happen if you cut it. Later ones should be fine, they say. Al.

(-:AD:-) Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 a fellow basher has a grafil shell, about 4 months old now. The odd crack here and there but it is alot stronger than the stock body. (on a 5ive) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
