only the 1/24 917 fits and make sure it's lexan the acrylic ones will shatter.

He's working on some new ones for me i'm sending him a 2wd and a 4wd to mount bodies on . The rest of the 1/24 are too wide.

OK you are doing the stock electronics i will make the step by step vids for that first.

you will need to cut the center square out for the stock servo start there. Dremel with a fiber cutting wheel is best not the clay wheels they break and take out a eye.

Any questions Instant message me on AIM sjakes20 or post here

ok, cut the block out.... what are the best wheels offsets to use?

how do you make these rear wheels? clearly none of the stock mini-z wheels is going to look right with this body given that width.

The good thing about lexan is it can move.

You can crease the rear right at the fin and use a stock set of rims. I like the enzo rims. But i have used vette and Z-speeds.

the dual tires i think is the best way to go, If your going to run a Hot mod like SO3 you can't get more traction.

for the dual rears you need a rim with the least offset preferably a wide rim. and it's an aluminum sleeve that slides over and super glued on. Not very high tech but it works well. You could try the Tagu rims but they are really wide. The sleeve extends out to 15mm wide

here's a pic of the sleeve

i would prefer to use the modified wide rear wheels rather than bunching up the body. can you give me any more information in the aluminum sleeve used?

i will fire up the lathe and make a few dozen for the shop. there cheap but you need to take your time putting them on making sure they are straight, plastic rims are not very straight to begin with.

the carbon fiber deck is only used for aftermarket electronics.

You want the slim fiberglass one for the PCB

Servos bolted down like normal.

This page a has a car done with li-ion cells only diffrence is you bolt the PCB on top of the fiberglass deck for AAA cells

I used the sleeves on one of my Pro-Z's and they worked out well,but I then went to the Revolver wheels with the F1 tires which filled out the wheel wells nicely.
