Ive got all the tape and shoe goo and scrim to attack my shells this weekend. One request please. can you put up some pics showing the attachment points to teh cage and overall where the cage and body may touch, just so I can get some more pointers as to where to tape etc. I'll see what I can do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only pics I managed to get is where the wheels rub the body, there not the best as the silver I used to back the paint was throwing my phones camera off. Did you want me to post them up?

No just the two each side and the two on the front, the only other things that were done is Nige fitted a rear bumper thing for me and I had to make this little bracket thing (see pic) just to get the body to line up properly on my cage. I do think that it needs some more support for the rear of the body though so it might be worth trying to figure a way to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz! Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Might sound silly but would the mini cage work any better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different mounting points of cage to chassis/bumpers so unfortunately won't work... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz! Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Mm, that's a shame really, the shape is there already to suit the rally car shell. oh well, still very much a learning curve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been designed by our Canadian friend for the 5T cage, not the Mini 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersavage Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) I might have a look and see if whether any of the trucks rear bumper bracing will make a decent support for the rear of the body.

supersavage Posted June 3, 2016 Author Share Posted June 3, 2016 I've removed the Bart as it's going to be sent of to be ceramic coated next week. I also fitted a 20 tooth pinion as I think the Bart produces a fair bit more low end grunt than the Samba did but I'll have to wait until my Bart come back to see what its like. But while the pipes away I can rebuild my shocks as they really need it though I hate doing shocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supersavage Posted June 16, 2016 Author Share Posted June 16, 2016 My exhaust is at the ceramic coaters and they said it should be back towards the end of next week. It was supposed to go to them last Tuesday but I got the dates wrong and put the 14th instead of the 7th. I've gone for the titanium colour. In the meantime I will have to take a dremel to the rally body as I was having some weird issues with my carb at the weekend and think it might be due to the body not letting enough air into the chassis.
