Default New body



The new body for my D8T. Pretty basic, but I like it. It's the fourth body I've done. I'm still bad at trimming.

My son and I are about to do one for his Losi 8ight 2.0.(JConcepts Punisher).Does anyone have that? I'm curious howit fits.

Thanks!

Looks good, and clean. If your using those big scissors hanging in the back ground, that's probably why you can't trim a body very good, you need some small curved scissors that are for the purpose or an x-acto knife. That would help tremendously.

And also a sanding drum on a dremal.     The sanding drum will let you get in the wheel arches and give them a perfect look.

Yes true but it's also very easy to mess it up real quick when using a dremal, don't ask how I know.

I have not used my Huskey Titanium Extra-Strength, "Big" scissors on a body...but if I needed to I would. Ha! Attached are the ONLY tools I've ever used. That reamer is a beast.If you want to see the drremmel bits let me know (I have a lot). I know WHATto do, I just can't do it, I've tried score and peel and it works if you have a real steady hand, which I don't. Same with the dremmel.

I'm getting better though each time - which is what is important to me. But I still suck at getting that polished trim.
