Status: online 		Well, after getting my RX7 body out of the postman's hands, I tear it open!

I find that the holes are not drilled, to my TT-01... Not everything is made for you!

Anywho, I was thinking on how to drill specific holes, for the TT-01...

It's already painted, and decalled, so, I can just mark ontop of the clear lexan... What do you guys do!?

Has anyone found an alternative to body posts + clips? I think I read somewhere that some guy has succeeded in fixing the body to the chassis using Velcro or a similar material, is this a reliable method?

Status: offline 		I found the Velchro method to be a litttle unreliable.. one soft hit and the body would go everywhere..
