Default RE: Mechanical Brakes on brushless buggy

I suppose body "remolding" might be a separate thread opportunity and perhaps in many situations not even limited to a conversion, but it seems this is a common issue with doing these conversions (we also have issues with limited space vs desirable location in our 1/10 scale buggy for normal operations). We ran into the issue of "wanting to place something" namly the ESC and cooling fans in a certain location but were limited due to body clearance.

(Last night) as we were trying to re-arrange our cooling fan set up, I began to wonder if a partial mold could be made up or scrounged and then by simply (and gently) using a heat gun could we change the body to better suit our needs?

Can you give a short descrition of how you did it? Thanks.
