Innovation
Our unique three piece body, as used on the McLaren M8f, is an exciting innovation in RC car body design. The body construction offers some awesome advantages:
- Handling - trim the side fins as high as you like to achieve better stability on slower tracks.
- Strength - the sides of the body are the same thickness as at the top - there is no thinning like in standard bodies and the shape in the sides makes them really stiff.
- Speed - The seperate wing which attaches to the fins provides excellent downforce, but much less drag than the large 'air damn' on commonly available bodies.
- Looks - unmatched scale accuracy because all of the side undercuts can be replicated exactly as they should be.
The bodies are a sinch to trim and paint as well, just take some time and follow these steps and the finished product will be something to be proud of.
- Trim the body centre section keeping the side fins as large as possible
- Trim the body sides, but leave plenty of extra material around the top edges
- Temporarily assemble the sides to the centre with tape
- Mount the body onto your chassis and cut all mounting and engine holes
- With the sides in the correct position, mark and trim the final side fin shape
- Paint all of the pieces seperately (paint inside!)
- Permanently assemble by applying the supplied 3M super strength double sided tape to the fin on the centre section and then placing the sides into position
- Fit wing and apply decals to finish
And the most important rule of all... take your time and enjoy it!
