You can also sand or x-acto knive away much of the inner wheel well on those S-2000's without making the wheel well itself larger.
(Referring to the outter body lines of the wheel well of course)
Trust me, I've done 7 or more of them.

I take it its hitting behind the wheel on the larger part of the chassis?SHAUN wrote:The body clears fine , Its the chassis that its hitting.
you'll have to take off the wheels, and dremel/cut some clearance aon the main tub of the chassis where it rubs. If you go slow with a grinding stone on the dremel you can reshape the plastic until you've got more space behind the wheel for clearance.

Ya , I finnally figured that out , but I left everything on and just went with the x-acto knife , I cut through the chassis but fixed it with some glue.
Thanks guys.
Oh , I forgot CW I'm suprised that those big ass wheels I got tucked under that S2K body don't rub at all , not a bit.

Why not now, while it's still being built? Cuz once it's up and running you won't want to pull it down again. Plus, it makes it that much more custom, and you learn so much more.SHAUN wrote:Yup , works like magic. I love this bit , to me it is the perfect bit , large wheels , ZZ blue gear set , decent hard wired motor , spring front suspion.
I was thinking someday , I might just cut out both those wheel well parts and get some thin styrene and replace them.
You'll be sooooo confident for your future projects.
