Get a torch

I am putting Bob and Doug McKenzie in the wraith and moving Duke Nukem to the Hilux. Now I need a driver for the TF2.

Does that work? Does it burn the paint? It wouldn't take much heat, I wonder if my butane soldering iron would do it with the blower tip.

[neillarson]

depends on how think and hard the plastic is, it will melt a little on the back, but it will be covered by the seat.

I think the McKenzie bros are to small for the Wraith... I just sold a set last week.

• Realistic scale human figures: full (knees up) -3, part -2 (torso up) - Points awarded for up to 2 figures, and only if accompanied by an interior.

I guess we just have to define "realistic"

Just use popsicle sticks and draw a smiley face on with a sharpie! Ha. That's realistic in my book.

I think I remember your battery is under the hood right?

Yeah, i've got the same 1x2x4, but I put it longitudinal down the middle of the rear part of the chassis where the battery was supposed to go. I was thinking of trying to put it right behind the seats myself.

I've got the receiver, bec and light controller (aftermarket, slightly bigger than axial one) in the project box.

Yeah, the battery is up front with a servo winch, so unfortunately no room to put the receiver/bec in that area. Of course, if the heyok thing doesn't work with the servo winch to get rid of the glitching, may just go with a 3racing winch which doesnt seem to have that issue on my honcho, that would free up more room.

Nods, well that was my thought as well; it may not be VP part but it may be better than the plastic one.

Actually I think I have those too.

I want to put South Park's Cartman, Kenny or Butters as PROFESSOR CHAOS in my Dinky MRC.
I was also thinking of a Batman in the FOFF'n Bastard.

I bought The Dude and Walter for Buxom Melons but they were to big. Maybe once I get the larger PL bug body...

something like that. i wouldnt do it half-assed, just would like to have something different and funny.

been considering bratz dolls in the wraith, but for tim i want something less realistic and just fun.

[thzero]

Anyone got a spare Wraith servo plate?

[Die-Laughing]

I have one. Ill ship it to ya.

[Die-Laughing]

I'm going to try like hell this weekend to get all the work done on the wheels im working on. I came up with a cool "deep dish" style but, still need to figure out what I want to do on the face.
I got all the parts drawn up and programmed, I just need to DO IT!
I might even get 2 sets done. I ordered up some titanium hardware too! lol

Then, I'll have Mega Fattie take good pictures. I'm going to see how 1.9 Irok's look on them as well as 2.2 TSL SX's.

I'm excited!

think you could make something like this?
Maybe as a beadlock ring and hub cap.... or just a hub cap
