RE: Exo Terra build questions and comments
I have to say that the stock plastic bodies shocks operate very smoothly if you bleed them well. I was impressed. If you can get your hands on some Team Associated "green slime" thenthat will help with the smoothnesswhen you apply it to theO-rings.
As for the tires, I recommend that you inspect the tire bead for flashing or uneven molding then sand or carefully cut any of it away. Then wash the rims and tires before you glue them. Use degreaser soap if you have it or basic dish soap will work. Don't wash the foam.
When you glue apply it in small sections, don't try to put a ring around the whole tire in one shot. It's tedious but not impossible to do.
