gti power Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Fairplay they look fantastic, I actually used mine for the first time Sunday with the intention to get some good pictures ready to advertise however I'm not sure if I'm going to bother now or just keep it.

RC4WD fan Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 right I'm really undecided on this made a tool box to put a small 3s Lipo to run the lights the same one that in my gt3b the battery only just fits in it unsure as it looks to tall so do I use it with the battery and have it that tall cut a bit off to lower it and use it for some scale bits or not bother putting it on what's your thoughts on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz! Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 If you have room under the shell, why not sink it into the rear bed so it looks a little less tall? looks awesome though mate 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Exactly what Gaz said, just sink it down a bit, you could even make the bit at the bottom the bit that opens up so your lid never opens by accident or comes off, also, you could make the underneath bigger, as in wider and longer, to fit your receiver and everything inside. It'd still look like a nice scale toolbox to the outside world 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC4WD fan Posted March 25, 2016 Author Share Posted March 25, 2016 right so sinking it it is then anyone know what would be the best way of making the cut by that I mean do I use a hobby knife and score it till it all the way through or use a cut off disc on the dremel as I don't really want to mess it up and have to start over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC4WD fan Posted March 25, 2016 Author Share Posted March 25, 2016 I'll try and and word it better I'm not very good at that so say for example you have a square 100mm by 100mm and wanted to cut another square in the middle say 50mm by 50mm to make a spare doughnut what's the best way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz! Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Make the hole a touch too small with the Dremel then knife and file to suit the box. i would score your outline though so you know where to keep the disc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC4WD fan Posted March 27, 2016 Author Share Posted March 27, 2016 (edited) got the interior done ready to be put in I did have to modify the door cards because the battery pushes the interior up so the door cards stick to far up so chopped a section out they sit a lot lower than they where suppose to be but I can live with that Edited March 27, 2016 by RC4WD fan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
