it needs a good trim over the gearbox and motor plate and on the back end of the pan (in front of the rear shocks, you can see just about in the second picture), but yes it fits pretty good (it's only my basher so it doesn't need to be perfect.

Volumiza, what are you using to strip your bodies? I noticed you mentioned in my thread you had used brake fluid by mistake, were these the bodies from the brake fluid or have you used something else? Either way they both look great, I particularly like the salvage on the Funco body.

i did use brake fluid for both, but it was extremely time consuming. especially the funco 'cos that had been painted both sides. i cant say i noticed any adverse effects from it but after reading cautionary advice i'm not sure i'd do it on anything rare or important. to be quite honest the ammount of rubbing and brake fluid i got through i wouldn't be in a hurry to do it again at all ... well ... :wink:

Volumiza, I wasn't expecting much when you said spray the outside but wow. Great Job!
