Im jealous of that shell

I was thinking I might get one for the SSG anyway and it has plenty of room inside, So I think it will fit the chassis nicely

Now I'm thinking I might just get him another shell and keep this one for my SSG build?

If you get the chance mate can you tell me how wide the body is at the arches?

it's 188mm at the front and 189mm at the rear
I hate how masking tape allows the paint to bleed! I tried to scratch it off but it's still noticeable. I hope the kid doesn't mind pink lol. I want to do another but use a liquid mask and paint it the same colour.

Everyone when you install the alloy suspension mounts you need the pivot balls too!
