With a new shop open in the area, Aussie Hobbies. I went for a look and found this for sale at a discount.
must have... must cut and check.
must get confused.... the body was almost too good that the detail on the throw away pieces including headlights was confusing.
Off to the website...
This body is NOT for beginners. I am quite experienced and getting the desired cuts and radius on many parts was a challenge.
but eventually I got there.
and the body sits together quite well.
test fit gets exciting.... what colour.
I was thinking about something like this... how close can RC paints get... not really.
One thing about this body is it will be expensive for the whole thing.
I got some extra parts. but while the 3d print fit is good, the finish is not up to injection molded standards.
RC Arlos 24KRC make a lot of cash on extras.
rather that provide a bag of injection moulded extras for the whole car that yokomo would charge 25$ for.
you end up with options.... that could cost well over $200 or Euro. I stopped at the essential light buckets.
Light buckets $35
rear light lenses $25

rear upper spoiler
front emblem
