Popular Post Lone-wolf Posted November 14, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 14, 2022 Okay body shell is on, its ready to rumble, i had to cut a lot of the HPI foam bumper but need to keep some on the chassis to support the front posts, also want a bit of protection on the front of the shell 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the end I just got the drill bits out and used those to put the holes in (starting out with something small like a 2 mm bit then moving up in 1-2 mm steps until I got to the size I wanted).

Looks great Not sure if i mentioned, the body comes pre painted and finished only job was the door mirror and make post holes, it was worth the extra money over the clear one to get the look. i have made a mistake on the RS4 front foam bumper trying to get it to fit neater under the shell, so ordered a new foam bumper as i want it right as i was paying postage on a low cost item i added a killer body clear Subaru Brz shell to use as an every day shell 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes killer body 2007 in clear this time, it will be an every day shell rather than risking the Alfa, also ordered LED`s to put on both Alfa and scooby 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it, and its a proper keeper........but i do find road cars slightly boring, its faster than i expected might be close on 40mph flat out in a slightly wiggly line, it sounds nice and handles pretty good, the RS4 chassis is light years ahead of similar priced tamiya chassis, i might not run it a lot but its staying 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
