Default my tummy tuck

gave my 1:6 some lipo

cut 1/4" below the bottom of the suspension stops so it took off 1 3/4"
bent up the bottom/skid on the brake here at school

mounted the circut boards flat with a piece of carboard between them and cut holes for the 2 switches into the top cover

battery just sits in there and is held in when the body is mounted, i also had to clearence the dash board for the body

it will now climb strairs without getting hugh up on that huge beer gut that the stock ones come with

onto the pics

Thats a nice clean TT, I wish I had a way to bend up my belly pan so I can have some good clean bends.

thats what I did, but if you have the machines to make the bends, then you get a sweet lookin clean belly pan.
