I wouldn't say its the E10 actually based on the position of the body posts and the fact that the wheels are held on by lock nuts. I have no idea what it is though. Looks good anyways, just needs a little more offset on the wheels to mount flush.

Gratou, how do you cut your wheel wells? every one of the car's i've seen from you look so real! i think that the way the wheels sit on a car makes it look that much nicer IMO but, i can never get the wells to match up with the wheels as well as you do.

That ER34 is actually my brother's shell. But we both use a compass cutter (Ofla) and curved scissors, then smooth out the wheel wells with some 150grit sandpaper.

so do you mount the body on the chassis first to mark were you are going to cut?

i don't really have issues with cutting the wells them selves rather i can't find a way to mark the were the axles are to place the wells
