Thanks, it is still in the "Do i like it or don't i" stage. I look at it and think what else can i do to make it better looking. i've had it in a couple of ways but can't rest on one i like.
i think its time to change the paint though, anybody know how to get normal auto paint off plastic without melting the shell?

I used to use easy off oven cleaner, but it was a pain. I found some stuff at lowes, it comes in a small white bucket with a green lid; it's called PEEL AWAY or something like that. Best stuff I've ever worked with, as it got about 10 coats of paint off one of my hard shells in 5 min.

Just hought i'd show my New Treds. [image][/image] Had to jack up the body using some old conservatory roof caps, in order for the tyres to not scrub and also allow the front wheels to turn. they make a whole lot of difference to the terrain it can go over. All the radio gear has been waterproofed which makes it fully capable of running through water. I will be posting videos as soon as they have gone through the utube upload process. [image][/image]
