Bens Fj 40 build

My first time with styrene. next time i will use all thicker material. I figured i'd keep the weight down, but that stuff is real light anyway. used some thick craft paper for templates and took no time. Real easy

Back in the day before all the guys started using styrene for them most people would just use an old tire that they would cut up and turn inside out. I know some have used trimmed paint can tops also. Here is a link to a friends build that is using styreneBGGruff's TR (Stage 2 Courier)

I cut TLT tires...they work perfect with the wide side at the opening and the small side toward the shocks...

I just made these last night with Huggies Baby Wipes container. Good square profile for the SCX-10 TR. Now I just need to paint them. You can tell which one was my first one.....

The innr fender wells on mine are just styrene I glued into the hard body and trimmed to follow the contour of the chassis. Worked slick!

The cheapo throw ziplock lunch containers from the super market are hard to beat. You can often get 5 for well under 3 bucks and they come in multiple sizes and depths that is what I did in this build and will do on my current honcho build.

SCX10 (Project Class Two Cherokee trail rig)

Here you can see that the inner wells lock into place.




Opted to also make my fender wells removable.
