The dreaded tyre rub..

[crazee horse]

So I've picked up some flat iron xl for my sendero hd, but they're really rubbing. I would have raised the body slightly but I've just got the club5 racing magnets and rear body hinge. Anybody cut/trimmed there fenders or similar ? Not usually a fan of butchered bodies. Share some picks guys to five me an idea 😊

yes, I have cut the fender completely off, you can also use a heat gun and glass cup to shape the fender to be more of a flare.

I have heard this but would like to see it dome before I try it on a body.

Yup, I cut the whole flare part of the fender off. Gives a more aggressive stance

I trimmed off about a quarter inch in from the edge. I drew a line with a sharpie pen (wipes off with alcohol on a Lexan body) and used heavy duty scissors (like kitchen shears) and slowly followed the curve. When done sand the edge and it looks like it was meant to be.
