Brent Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 This was my first time working with a Resin body. Used the Winged Express kit for chassis and cut out the side panels of the frame, not sure why, just to be different I suppose. Shoe horned a Ross Gibson McGee Quad cam engine in it. Not sure how manageable it would be to get down the track with that short wheel base. She would be one wild ride that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wku88 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 How did you get the realistic "boogers" on the slicks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 Thanks for your comments guys. Wku88. I took a long bolt with an assortment of washers and squished the tire between the washers. Mount that in a drill and spin at high speed with a medium grit sand paper. The grit of sand paper has to be fine enough that it doesn't sand all the rubber away yet not too fine or it wont do anything. You basically want to replicate high speed and friction just like the real deal. Wear a glove and be very careful you do not burn yourself or get your glove caught while holding the sandpaper. Here is another one I have done the same way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
