Help please

i used the .75, fine for a 1/10 buggy body. have a look in my this year thread for one of the shells. have had polycarb before and its been useless, but their stuff worked reasonably well, needed drying before vacforming though, bubbled up otherwise. if you havent got a vacformer then it might be worth you making your mould for the body and then contacting someone like steve haskins on here to form the body for you

coke bottle and heat gun ok for smaller cars, they just arent quite big enough for a 1/10 buggy!

depends how creative you want to get or if you just need something to cover the car...this was a xxxs that i made into a xxx4 before the xxx4 came out
