looks AWESOME mate, cant wait to see the body painted

Thanks man, you should see it for real...
I was a bit intimidated by it's brutal look myself when I put on all the Pro-line stuff.

Hope to get some decent paint soon so I can use the airbrush for the first time.
And some good weather of course.

i may get one of them for my hornet. that looks wicked

It measures about 205 by 80mm - thought that might be useful info.
It's nylon so very sturdy. And the shape is just great.

if your still stuck for shocks, get some from the website i posted in my wild one thread
can you upload some, not all of the pics to tb so i can see them, my school laptop blocks some websites

can you upload some

Do you mean that I should post some pics of those shocks here? I can do that...

your posting your pics on another website and embedding them here so they don't work for me because that websites blocked by the DET.
jus upload some onto tb so everyone can see what it looks like

Aha, message received. Here's where it's at momentarily :

Glueing the tyres didn't go as smooth as fitting the wing at all...

It's hard to do this job exactly right anyway.
I used different CA glue this time and that turned out to be quite a bit thinner.
So some of it ran outside the rim...

I chose to let it flow out on that side rather than the inside because otherwise the foams would get hard and lumpy.
So that part was a conscious decision. Not the abundance of glue though...
I'd called this one a medium succes - but then I don't feel so bad about using them.

When I glued the Dirt Hawgs I used two rubberbands to let the tyre flange attach in the groove of the rim better :



But the Road Rages are much softer so that was too much for them :


So I only used one rubberband :


Where there's the bigger Pro-line letters on the side of the tyre, the rubber is even softer.
As can be seen at the bottom left on the picture below... so I had to take extra care there.
I glued all the insides first, then let that dry a bit and did all the wheels on the outside.
Always with the most recently glued side facing downward.
After that I placed them on the heating for a short while. And didn't leave the rubberbands on for too long...

that thing is AWESOME!!!
that would win heaps or races
