@@patr3122 Hi, Is this a thing in the RC world? I never measured mine. I’m not aware if you’re supposed to? 🤷♂️ Anyway I just checked it for you and this body measured… Side skirt in front: 3.1mm Side skirt in rear: 3.3mm Front bumper: 3.6mm All my lexan bodies sits above the chassis plate and front CF bumper not leveled, but above those two. I just make sure that they don’t scrape on the track.
@@tjaymacRC thanks TJ. I think that’s what I was trying to ask, should it be mounted level with or above the bottom of the chassis ? I’m prepping my first Lexan body now, was just curious how to set the body height properly.
@@patr3122 I’m not very experienced mounting Lexan bodies but how I do mine is that I cut the body first in the suggested lines marked on the body. Then I do the body posts, followed by the wheel wells. After that, I would mount the body on the car with body clips. Then I would put the car on a setup board to check if the wheels are properly aligned with wheel wells (too high/low). Once aligned, I would start pushing down on the car to see if the body is touching the board, then I start to trim the side skirts and bumper via scissor or dremel. Most of the time my bodies are leveled or just right above the chassis plate and CF bumper. By just above I mean there’s no gap between the plate and body.
Great Info TJ! Thanks for the link, i will hopefully have them restocked in a couple of weeks.
Hi TJ - how many mm of clearance do you set between your lexan bodies and the track (or setup board) ? Thanks
