mtbkym01 4008 Posted September 28, 2019 Anyone figured a way of disguising pre drilled body holes that don’t line up with the chassis body posts? Ive got a Subaru WRX shell (from a TL01 kit) that I’m thinking of fitting onto a TA06 chassis, but it has pre drilled body post holes that are not in the right place for the chassis. The obvious answer is to cover with stickers, but is there any other method people have used? Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WillyChang 1814 Posted September 28, 2019 No real solution, especially when it's an unpainted body. Super painful if it's a shell you want to build for display and its factory prepunched; worst when you know out there there's been some units of same body that's not prepunched If you're building to run & its prepainted, that's easiest... either cut new holes or use magnet underbody system. Cover wrong holes with lexan scraps shoegoo'd. For display... we'd go find another display chassis TL01 holes should fit on TA01-4, FF01&2, some early HPI RS4s etc If you're feeling creative get some straight up plain bodyposts that screws in from the bottom. Use angle aluminium from Bunnings to craft mounts extending off the shocktowers... etc etc then again if you're using TA06 IFS you don't have front towers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tamiyabigstuff 832 Posted September 28, 2019 Magnetic body mounts or modify the body posts on the chassis to fit the holes in the body. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No wonder I’ve got so many cars Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
