ruebiracer 1046 Posted August 5, 2020 I actually like the double deck method, nowadays also available by RC Channel: http://www.rcchannel.com.tw/product_info.php?cPath=26&products_id=494 I cut one myself but for the price I wouldn´t bother. It greatly stiffens the chassis, also when crashing and saves the body cracking by flexing to banana style during the crash... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Superluminal 3750 Posted August 22, 2020 I had the 3d printed versions of those wheel arch liners. I epoxyed them in and later realised i couldnt get the windscreen in when they were in place without bending out the bodyshell (which cracked the paint id put on it) It might be worth do a trial fit of everything first.
