| DIY topper?
Any fabrication tips working with Delrin sheet to make a bodiless top? Is .090" the best thickness? Cut out with saber saw or is there a better way? Would like your been-there-done-that's to give me a good chance of getting it right the first time. I've seen some pictures of home-builts that looked kinda hacked. I'd like to do better.

Some one must have cut their own delrin topper? It sounds so easy.

I just got excited about doing my own chassis. Maybe you can find some help or tips in my XR10 thread. http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/axial...l-lw-xr10.html See post #22 for the method I'm using. |

| Lexan topper
I made this one out of lexan...haven't used Delrin yet. It was pretty easy to do though. Good luck |

I only did a quick read...are those pieces "as routed" or did you have to sand or polish the edges? | |

They are nearly "as routed". I just deburred the edges here and there with 400 grit sand paper. Didn't take me more than half a minute. | |
