Any tips for DIY inner fenders?

[68_f100]

Anyone make their own inner fenders? I am trying to figure out how to do it.

[Szczerba]

find some tupperware plastic bowls, cut to fit, drill out holes to mount to chassis and paint. Or use flat styrene bent into an "L". Google image search wraith inner fenders. It will probably lead you back to RCC posts.

As easy as a few clicks these folks sell some.

Carter Fab and Machine sells metal ones. Carter Fab & Machine » Product Categories » Axial Wraith Aluminum Panels

RC4WD sells paintable lexan ones. Inner Fender Set for Axial Wraith

I used rc4wd for my Wraith but made my own for my U4RC trophy rig.
Just flat clear lexan 0.020 or 0.030 sheet.

Simplest way is start with some card for a template, hack it & fold it roughly to shape and test fit, trim more, if youve trimmed too much add it back with masking tape.

Another way, again in card, is work out the shape of the 3 main pieces & then tape them together, then use that as a template.
The piece that tucks behind the shock is basically a rectangle with the rear edge angleed to match the body at the shell arch. Piece in the arch is a rectangle. Then you just need enough at the outside to fit under the side panel & be caught by the body screws.
These are just closed at the top by the hood, they won't have a piece across the top like the RC4WD do.

It's that or try finding a plastic container to cut up, seen plenty of round ones used on SCX10.

I made inner fenders from some black snap on packaging and Lexan leftover from the wraith body panels.

I have the RC4WD inner fenders and they're nice and are priced right. I like Zapod's design better.

I went with the RC4WD inners. Just waiting on them to show up.

I'm a DIY'r. So I used some black gorilla duck tape, folded it back over on it self so I have a nice flexable piece to trim and fit around the bars. Then used some small zip ties to attach to the tube work. Works good!
