Thanks

The rear louvers are from Shapeways user Junkyard stance https://www.shapeways.com/product/YS...ionId=60360038

I cut off the hinge since I've just glued it in and dont need access like on an actual sand scorcher

Cheers dude I'm quite impressed with paint!! Not sure how it will hold up when it starts rolling around!! When I get it how I want it I can clear coat it in tamiya laquer or similar!! Got some black on it too!! Have also cut an drilled an tapped my links again!! An started on a roll cage!!

So put my links together an put basics together all went together well!! These shocks are only cheap 70mm may go back to using shock towers an slightly longer shocks to get little more articulation but should work for now!!also made a little bumper for front!! Have cut slots in front of shell so this pops through front!!
