Stormbringer Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Thats a shame about the shells but maybe you could fire of an email to Carisma about the shells ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone-wolf Posted July 19, 2023 Author Share Posted July 19, 2023 Early days but i think me and the ford shell are back in the race, i found the main issue with getting the grille to sit about right, just need to fettle a tiny bit more plastic and it should be about good, im still waiting for the magnetic mounts so still no rush to prep and paint, but im feeling a lot more confident of this turning out how i plan it to 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone-wolf Posted July 20, 2023 Author Share Posted July 20, 2023 I have done the rear shocks, put 5mm spacers under the pistons this has dropped back end just right, really hope the body mounts arrive tomorrow or Saturday then i can clean and mask the shell maybe even get paint on it, this rig will only be a trail rig but should be a pretty nice scale trail truck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfie1 Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Looks totally great tbh, think of it like this- when you destroy this shell you can do the next 1 better, not that it looks like anything is wrong with that 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
