I would have thought a good set of electrician scissors would do the job, maybe tidy it up with a dremel grinder?

SkyRC Toro 150 Aluminium... Nearly got everything for the MT410a8fb438baa38026c95b66ac9707ec323.jpg

Do we know what the Toro stuff is like these days, Were a bit hit and miss in the early days.

I bought one of these about 10 years ago or more, I think I was pretty much one of the first to try a Toro, Was the same as this.

Chucked it's legs in the air on about the second day, You know what they say, Once burnt, But that was over 10 years ago.

My russian unbreakable bodies.

I was expecting one to have a slightly different wheelbase to the other as one is destined for the Kraton Vs one for the MT410, but they appear to be the same.

I guess with the Kraton people seem to just cut the rear of the rear wheel arches completely off.05202efe28c483f4aa900be93c4f2bd3.jpg

Yes ....I’m mid doing mine 

I’ve cut the worst off but had a few things pop up that have stopped me doing the sanding

I’ve left a good 5mm from the inside cut line for sanding and shaping and left the nose a little longer still

 

i still need to take the back back a bit ....here’s where the rear shock tower rubs on the body so you can gauge your cut

this is with the nose flush up against a tbone bumper...same as the stock body would sit

Not the postie but got s free nitro buggy today from a guy in work. Pretty clean buggy to be fair. Not sure what I'll do with it if anything but it was free!
