so ive gottin around to looking at the kit and what i am wanting to do with it and ran into a problem the kit comes with rims that have square holes and i want to use resin wheels and tires from AITM and i think they have a round hole and i can get the rear suspension  but dont know where to get a front end any hints

Grind out the backs of the resin wheels and use the square holed wheel backs from the kit. Or, drill the axles and put pins in them.

i was just thinking about that ill look into it

If your not at least 75% confident, then I wouldnt try it. Its very easy to ruin resin. But then again, youll never know unless you try. I didnt attempt anything like this until I had built a fair amount of resin trucks, and back then the resin was much thicker. You might be able to get away with using the hood and grill from a DM 800(which already opens), and the resin fenders. The hood should be pretty similar in shape to the RM, and if not should be easy to fix. Im sure I have an extra hood.

iam willing to try but i think ill wait till after the contest to open it up just so i can have some back ground with resin
