Thanx for the comments guys.

The nest step is to get all the electronics in and drive it around, make panels, some primer on the frame, a complete interior, and a bunch of detail work.

Nice!
I mocked up those tires on my PSC Bruiser and they looked WAY too big. They don't look too bad on your's though.

I thought the same when I first got them! Put them on and they aren't too bad.

Yeah I was just fooling around, to see if it would look the part. What do you think?? That took me 30 seconds. If I do go with it, I'm going to make a stencil.

I'm going to put all the electrics in and run it around, and I haven't decided if I'm going to make tabs for the body panels to bolt on or use some other technique. Ideas?

I do like the bolt on panels, but a hidden system would look a lot cleaner imo. I just did 3mm nuts on my chassis and bolted all of the panels on with 3mm button heads. The 3mm stuff is a little big though, maybe some 2mm nuts and bolts might look better.

That rig is looking awesome!!! I know it doesnt matter much due to it being a scale rig, but do you have any idea of the finished weight?

I'm still undecided, but it is looking like a combination between a hidden system and some micro fasteners.

I'm still unsure of the finished weight, but the chassis itself weights a little over 3 lbs.

I bent the bigger round bends with a brakeline tubing bender, and the smaller radius bends by hand with a pair of vice grips. I also built a bending jig for different radii (sp) out of square tubing and various sizes of bolts.

Pic for the newb:



Still have to rework the rear section of the body panel to flow better with the curve of the tire.
