  • Why not just use scissors???

  • @TAMIYAMCHASSIS -scissors wont cut hard plastic. They only cut the lexan bodies. This is a hard plastic body by Tamiya.

  • nice! i like the Cew Cab idea!

    

  • @MikeHendershotJr -I've done quite a few of them. The longer wheelbase helps in 1:10 scale rigs and they just look cool!

  • can you cut lexan bodies like this?

  • @munen3434 -Not sure as I've never done it. Only issue I could foresee is how flexible it is allowing it to move around as you cut. Otherwise I don't see why you couldn't do it. Although lexan is easy enough to cut with scissors.

  • use shoelace to cut pvc!

  • @TheChris1696 -Not sure what you mean. if the body is lexan, scissors would be best, then maybe an x-acto knife. If a hard plastic body, then this is as good as any.

  • Would this work if I needed to fit an rc body on a truck? I have to cut the front of it to fit over the bumper...

  • @pantablo Yeah i think i would do it your way if i was too try and swing the doors on my sand scorcher
