I had the same problem on the rears only. Used .5mm spacers.

don't waste your money. I did lol. did not expect it to be so bulky, you have to cut out and add 2 winglets to the roof top. the bugati look is cool but not competitive. super neutral and feels lazy going around the track. I am going back to my Bwoah....

It has been covered, but I will help. I run the motor on a black carpet track 48'x80'. I usually run a F.D.R. between 3.0 to 3.45 depending on how tight and technical. Outdoors on big flowing tracks, I have been down in the 2.8s for f.d.r.

Thanks. I have the olfa circle cutter that works fine for the actual cutting. I found the yeah racing wheel well marker, someone had it in their pit area when I was racing this past Sunday. Someone on RCtech did a 3d printed version of it and that's what I remember seeing. Thanks for the info though.

I have the yeah racing one. It's nice, aluminum but the wheel arches are a bit tight, will body tuck if you don't cut extra off the back.

I had a friend 3D print up four of these. It works great because the tires sit on it and it lines up the arch perfectly. I mark it and cut out the wheel arches using small curved scissors.

This has always worked well for me. I have had one of these for over 20 years. Only $7

Have a touring car and looking for a thick lexan body for my Xpress car. Tired of just brushing the wall and tearing the body to shreds. Anyone know of a brand that makes thicker lexan bodies?

Try some of the Tamiya bodies. Much thicker than aftermarket race shells.

I just finished a Tamiya Mustang body. 141g with minimal paint and basic stickers. It has the rear wing and side mirrors plus the o rings and little clips.

At 3.45 to 3.85 stay on top of your motor temps. With up to 5 or 7 in a heat or main I like to have the giddy up at being around 3.85 - 4 to manage the infield as fast as I can. Guys we’re running 3-4 tenths faster laps in practice with a clear track but having to manage traffic the speed on the back straight was equalized with the giddy up I had in the infield.
