Hey Mike:
After talking to some LST guys… everyone thinks that the post holes will tear first time out. And I agree.
Think I will have to keep this body as a shelve queen. Unless there is a rectangle shaped piece that is glued across left to right. The way Losi designed that body for the LST, the piece that was cut out acts as a body stiffener, and makes the rear of the shell ridged between the post holes. Take that out, and I will not be able to run the LST with a wing as well which I don't want to do. I might ask you to try something like that, and then paint it. But don’t know how what that would look finished once it was painted?
So, how about this? Send me the shell as is… and I place a new order for a 2nd body. I will keep this one fresh, and as a display body never to be run on the truck.
What kind of deal can we work out on this 2nd order, and what would be the time line?
Thanks again Mike.
P.S. Not mad dude… chit happens. Like I said, have over 2K in this truck already and it’s not about the money. Just want to have the best painted shell I can “run” on this rig. And I am sticking to my guns… you are the man I want to paint my colors!
