Default My very very.....

Ghetto micro-t "wedge" body.....home made...took about 2 hr....and if your lookin at the pics, i didnt crash it, thats how it turned out...lol. As u can see im not very good at making thing out of aluminum. But the only tools i had was a pair of aluminum scissors and my hands and a dremel, wich all i could do was drill the body holes...lol. But actually it handles purtty dern good w/ it on there and is kind of light...

Just take a little more time and work on finishing it, it doesn't look bad. I personally am interested in getting a small tabletop CNC for this hobby. I have some ideas on making my own RC parts for improvement on RC vehicles.

Yea i reckon if i spent alot more time actually measuring things and took time cutting it would look ella better...but i just snipped away free handing everything with sum dull sciccors and thats what came out. It be even better if i had a ribbitor....instead of using double sided tape lol...

Lol, this wasnt made out of a coke can.....we found a thin sheet of aluminum laying in our ditch and went and grabbed it along time ago. Then just yesterday i figured id give it a shot and thats what came out. It did look alot better until i realized the body sat to low and scraped the ground.....so i had to trim it all the way around.....then thats when everything became a mess....


P.S-Just do what i did andrew......go mow ppl's grass fur money.....thats i how i buy everything. [8D]
