Hey welcome to XMS! Make sure you read the rules to know what not to do. I'm not sure how to get a car body and chassis up that high...but someone will probably know. Looks like it will be a nice project to do though. Enjoy your stay.

Welcome to the forum!

I've tried that. Just way too much work. Getting the wheels that high off the ground is somewhat harder than you may think, its a evo chassis, so theres alot of things it cannot do, but evo truck chassises have more.

I had a model like that, I used the wheels for something, than ditched the body, because I wanted it that high.

Heres some tut.s that may help you in the future or right now, http://xmodsource.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=43

Heres what you need now, http://xmodsource.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4748

Hope that helps.

Get another chassis spacer and cut plastic off of one til it fits tight to your other one.

Default Being overwhelmed is easy

That's a great project and I've been eyeing the same model. I don't know your level of expericence, but I suggest starting with something a litttle easier. You can always move up, easier now, than disaster right away. Good luck, and welcome to the site!
