  1. No problem, as it was for someone in Europe, I figured the search engine might not figure out the error like it would for someone in Canada or even the USA
  2. I think it is MCI racing if I recall
  3. looks good, thats to bad for the minor car crash, but considering how many police cars get rolled and crashed in the tv show, it just adds some character
  4. Ok, thanks, that body should work pretty much perfectly for me, thanks again for the measurements, I will probably get myself one of those soon.
  5. Ok, that is promising, and the wheels can still retract into the body when the suspension is depressed? (They aren't rubbing on the body)
  6. Ok thanks, because they do build in extra room, because the tires are 190mm wide, so they make the bodies a little wider so the tires don't rub, how much wider varies by manufacturer, but some definitely make it more then is needed, and all I really need is like 5 more mm!
  7. Yeah, I right now an using the team bluegroove body, which is supposed to be like 185mm so smaller, and I just cut out the wheel wells bigger with the wheels protruding, but as it's real world track is closer to 190/195mm, I was wondering if the "190mm"of the kyosho body might have meant more like 200/205mm real world measurements
  8. Ok, just wondering as my RC car is 195mm front and 200 rear, if it did fit it would be really tight, like within 3-5mm
  9. Thanks, could I get the front and rear track width as well, thanks again.
  10. Would it be possible for me to get some measurements for the Kyosho Fazer General Lee body/chassis, specifically the wheelbase, width of the wheel wells, and the distance beteween the front and rear wheel wells, as the picture shows, thanks.
  11. ok, i am using the team bluegroove body, so lexan as well, and the only complaint that i have is that the tamiya paint is a little sparkly, not as flat chrome as it should be, but other then that it does look like metal/chrome bumpers, also how do you make pictures small enough to upload without cropping into nothing! haha
  12. Looks good, one thing I did on mine that worked out pretty well for the chrome is that I masked off the parts that needed to be chrome with painters tape, including around the windows with 1mm RC masking tape, then painted everything orange with white backing, then peeled all the masking tape and sprayed tamiya chrome paint on, ps 48, I think, which looked pretty good, one thing though, it seemed to eat at the sticky part of the window masks, which made them essentially fall off as the paint was drying, I saw that and fixed it in time, but only got one or two light coats of the chrome on, not as thick as I would have liked, but I then put some silver metal duct repair tape an the inside, and it looks great. I also fabricated a mirror from a paper clip and a hole punch from a thick piece of plastic that I painted with that Chrome paint
  13. Thank you for the Welcome, I have been a Dukes fan ever since I discovered my Dad's Dukes of Hazzard slot car set like 5-7 years ago, (10-12) I think my favourite character would have to be Bo Duke, and I have been into rc cars for roughly five years, but i have only used hobby grade ones for the last 2 years, with my General Lee model being my second hobby grade RC car, which I drove for the first time today. (definitely not a winter RC car!)
  14. Yeah, honestly if I had to do it again, I would still go with the team bluegroove one, as the detail makes it better even if the wheels stick out the tiniest bit
  15. I watched the YouTube videos as they came out, and those gave me inspiration to make my own 1/10 RC General Lee, with the Team Bluegroove body and a Traxxas 4 tec 2.0 vxl as the chassis not nearly as professional as anything posted here, with the main problem being that the is roughly 1cm to wide, so the tires stick out 5mm on each side, but they don't look to bad, definitely a different look though.
