Besides I was too proud to show the bodyshell that crashed_1 did for me.

Woow ! That would mean having to make 4 or 5 bodyshells to test !

Yeah, I know I'm pretty lazy when it comes to making and spraying shells.

That's why we have people like crashed_1 who can do bodyshells for 1 pair of foam tires.

Thanks for the reply Julius. Is that 5 mm forwards or backwards?

It very much depends if the diples are for your specific car. Most protoform shells don't have dimples I think.

Normally the first time I cut a new type shell I'll align the front wheelarches to sit in the middle of the wheels when using 2-3mm caster.

Then I'll decide if the next one needs adusting depending on experience.

Ah, you're right ... I meant wheelarches guides.

So do you play around with the wing positions too? I normally don't because it seems that some of the rules don't allow for overhang.

Oh, forgot that we have the good Captain lurking in here these days. On the other hand, I think he's too busy fixing that trans-beamer of his.

Oh, and all this while I thought you were like Mark Green.

He used a touring shell in the lola/outlaw series for the last national race because he already wrapped up the British National championship for Serpent and the 710.
