    The Foot Thingy worked like a charm! The end result of your build is mint! Cheers!

    Love the Scholl foot scrubber hack!! Might try that next time…I always use a Dremmel and even on the slowest setting it feels way too fast and because of the small size of the drill bit, it can really take of chunks very quickly without realising. The Scholl foot scrubber looks like it’s more even and as it’s designed for human skin, probably runs at a more gentle speed. Top marks on a great body mate 👏👏👏

    thanks mate for watching 😊👍 it was more by accident i used it as my first lexan kit years ago required the smoothing and it’s all i had 🤷‍♂️😂 it’s brilliant for wheel arches to . yeah it’s quite soft but you have to keep moving it to avoid bumps but i have only changed the head once in 3 years . glad you liked the body . i had yo dremmel this one as the scholl can’t get in narrow gaps . 😊👍

    Yeah, Dom, that was great to watch! I really enjoyed this, and it makes me want an F1 RC car also, although I'm more of an offroad guy, he he... It looks great, and I look forward to seeing out in the dirt, ehhh, on the tarmac of course!

    Very entertaining viewing Dom. Firstly, I love the holey sleeved comfy jumper.... I have a couple like that to mate! 😂 That body looked like a real challenge to cut out and refine..... but the foot tool was an amazing idea!!! Just how the hell did you come up with that idea?! 💡🤔 It can take hours smoothing off those jagged edges properly, this is pure genius..... poor Mrs Doms guna have to put up with having rough tootsies now! 😂 Agreed with the red paint thing, every red lexan one I've done is very translucent..... the backing colour is essential to get proper depth. Came out looking superb mate, great job. 🙏 👍 👍 👍

    Turned out very well and it is an interesting chassis. I just don't really have anywhere to run such a vehicle. Do you have any trouble with the decals staying on the tyres? Mine always seem to fall straight off.
