Default My baja Racer UPDATE 9-05!!!!!

hey everybody,

as some of u have seen someone is making a baja racer on the atomicmods board. Well i had one in mind along time ago but now i have the body i need i just have a few questions. One what would u guys recomend using for rear bracing like the baja trucks? i dont want to use brass because its a little pricey and its a pain soldering it. i was thinking styrene tubing but i cant figure out a length that would be good wat do u guys think of 3/32"? well give me any info u want about anything

well i think a baja racer is a killer idea and i think it would be easy if you used metal from an erector set but it might look tacky. i dont know much about styrene tubing so idk, but try bending and cutting a spare antenna

i meant a controller antenna because its like tubing but its a pain in the butt to cut because bends easily so be patient wit it, but if you dont have a spare antenna you could use wooden skewers and wrap them nicley in foil or something for the bars

if you could make the body look like one i would be extremely impressed
