Like to check out something also with you guys... I was wondering if I would to change the shell to a Tamiya toyota Hilux, is it neccessary to extend the wheelbase of the chassis to fit, or the wheels and tyres needs to be smaller to be in scaled sense? |

Hi ttown180, no sir, it`s not a funtional canvas at all. I used those kitchen paper towels to made them. Just rolled them up to required sizes tied then up with cotton strings and lastly, paint them using Tamiya paints! It`s really easy... |

| I`m not pretty sure if its called pant blousers... we used i in the army, whereby it`s used to hold the bottom of our long pants in with the 2 hooks on the both ends of the elastic strap, just above the boots! I guess it`s the same! hehe... It`s a trick I learned from my mate...

But what`s disappointed me is the scale size of the shell.... looks more like a 1/8th instead! So felt abit awkward while Trailing with my mates. | |

| Thanks for comments... and your TR with the black wheels looks scale too! BTW, the mog is modded on the MRC chassis. Side guard rails made from ice cream sticks, and barbecued to wooden color shades! The deck also packed loaded with the wooden crates, which costs only USD1.30 each in Singapore... a Japanese budget department store named Daiso. |

Dingo shell inspired by Bellvis... took off all the flares and she looks much better IMO... Infact, it might perform better than with the flares on as there`s more room for the tyres and axles to flex out... |

it performs a lot better without the flares, and looks sooo much better. I put the bolts back in using the flare brackets and it looks a lot more scale in my opinion
