Hey folks I've got a Monster Beetle build in the works, and have bought a Sand Scorcher body set (51046) for it. I actually really like the slightly off-white colour of the plastic substrate, it suits what I have in mind for the final result and would be happy enough to leave it unpainted. Is that possible? Is there any recommended clear paint or treatment to protect / 'seal' the plastic but keep the substrate colour? Thanks in advance!

Hi all I would like an expert built body shell for my sand scorcher as I have always wanted a box art sand scorcher but am not confident enough to do it my self as I am a perfectionist. So I was wondering if there was anyone that had one and was willing to part with it. I am based in the UK

Hloo! I really like the Sand scorcher body. I really like the CC-01 chassi. Combine the two i wanted. Guggle has surprisingly few hits on how to do it...what was needed to be done to the chassis. Found one on a scale-rc forum that makes the body sit really well. However, the modification made the use of the usual cc01 bodies more difficult since the back body post holes were cut away. I wanted to eat the cake and still have it. So I began to cut and test and cut some more (rinse and repeat) until i finally found what i think was a good compromise. ---------- How the body sits: The cuts I made: On the last picture where you can see ..uhm... heated plastic glue residue(from a gluegun) I'm going to put a strip of velcro to fasten the Sand Scorcher body when the body is finished. And then I made new removable body mounts with computer screws and steering links so I can use my other cc01 bodies. Yes, the plastic has been damaged after some rolls and flips...it still holds the mounting screws though. I might need to make new somewhere else, but if you drive somewhat more sensible than me, this could be a nice solution i think. Yes.. that was my contribution... Hope someone can use it! =)
