Default So I broke down and bought one of these things...

Battery is charging, have not even driven it yet.

It better be cool because I am sacrificing my 95 New Bright Renegade for it

Building at full compression... I need to trim some more to get the body on the chassis, then start with the comp cut (dremel is charging now as well)




Check out the precision cutting skills in the tub there... that used to have a full floor and backset.


My real junk...

the body doesn't look right on the chassis... but it looks pretty good when compared to your 1:1... which is AMAZING!

Not really the same scale... but close enough.

Here is my rough (no sanding, cleaning, or paint) comp cut at full ride height...


Probably going to totally cut the front bumper off (because it's ugly) and I think it needs to come down in height some as well.

If I get bored in the next few days I will pull the windshield and make a copy of my cage.

The tires flex perfectly in to the body now, and it's way fun to drive.

I agree... I have some aluminum brake line here to make a replica cage with... I think I am going to ditch the windshield as well.
