Default SOMEONE WHO MODIFY THE BODY?

Hello,

i was thinking to modify the car body so i can have access to the starter and the fuel tank, not to remove it every time..
is here someone to help me find a good quality body to cut it? i know if i cut the body that i have it will crack immidiately due to no good quality.

The best racing bodies are made by proline. Ask your local hobby shop, I bet he has them. Oh, and ask on here first if you don't know how to cut bodies, as you can easily make a real mess of it. Also, buy a good pair of 'LEXAN SCISSORS' (psalidi gia lexan), they are important for successful cutting of bodies. Don't go for an HPI body if you want a strong one, they are also very thin, they are just for looks and playing around.

use normal quality scisors for the straight stuff, and a smaller scissor, or the curved lexan ones for the wheel arches.

Cutting wheel wells is the ugly rear end of this hobby.

I use a dremel with a sanding bit, to round out my wheel arches, window holes, etc...
