My guess is permanent red marker on the edges, then run a bead of super glue around it to seal.

Does it come with 2 chassis and topdecks?

I read a vague post previously but when I checked the manual (online ) it has 2 of each listed - Standard and stiff.

One chassis & one top deck. The kits are shipping with 'Standard' right now. Not sure if Stiff will be offered as a kit.

My build is done, minus mounting a body. I spent some time working on my anti-tuck game. More pics at https://picasaweb.google.com/racerlog/PhotonEX .



Has anyone thought about where/how to mount a 5th body post?

With the new steering rack it looks like the hole for the top of the old steering rack is spare?, unless it's too far back.


It's killing me seeing other people building their kits, I'm racing tomorow night, will have to use my old Photon again, was hoping to have the new one...

Have done this several times with the 12th scale's also.

Sand the plates
Give it two layers of FasKolor Airbrush Paint
One layer of Thin CA.

And it's this glossy

To Bad, no time to build today. Have to finish it this weekend.
