what are.you planning to trim it with some kind of vinal trim or maybe stainless or crome trim or maybe some or that thick rubber trim crome with rubber strip or rubber with a crome strip
are you just stright trim like pin striping or are you trying to trim the wheel wells
maybe a big thick rocker pannal trim in crome or gold

I have used a pair really sharp scissors before, and a razor blade. Did ok as long as you have a steady hand. I would be interested to hear what others have tried.

no acctualy you explained it just fine but you forgot the pics always include pics theres no way for us to grasp how bad you body is and body mods are mostly personal prefferance there are rules about how much you can cut if your competing with it but other than that its what you like and no one here is gona tell you shat you like



in my opinion just grab some sissors and trim alittle at a time you can always cut more but you cant add more or go buy another body



i dont have a rs10 but i do have a e10 all cut up for function not form if your interested but you know you first lol

honestly ive never seen a cut up rs10 body the only rs10s ive seen in person have aftermarked bodys or no body at all redcat isent known for the quality of there bodys

you might have a look at the axial section the rs10 and the everest 10 are vary a vary close clone of models that axial made so the axial bodys should fit your rig with out issues and you might be able to pick up dome ideas there
also look at the losi night cralwer section for body cuting ideas


for pictures i was pointed to imgru after photo****it pulled there crap them copy the imbed code and past it in your post here



you should try some gold colored trim lol that always helps lol
