Lots of pics have already been posted by several well known builders, including a complete step by step build thread.

How many more do you need ?

I really don't have permission from the few guys who have sent cars.,

although Pablo did a step-by-step with his.

 

You already have pics of 4 or 5 cars in this thread.

 

Here's the link to Pablo's build;

Hidden under "Proxy Racing" LOL

As heavy as that resin driver is, I think it needs more than tape or glue...

How about a pair of pin holes in the top of the body, and drill holes through the interior.

Body mount pins go down through body and interior, then bend at a 90.

Body mount pins go down through body and interior, (you lose me here) then bend at a 90. ???

See above....

 

I was thinking :scratch_one-s_head: and then some more :umnik2: about....

 

um ... Bob....  :secret: you better try that theory out first .... before the guys think your nuts. :rolleyes:  

 

Wait.. did you just hear that?... who whispered that in my head :laugh2:

Harpoon a hole downward through the body and into the interior in the same places my screws are.

Drop a pin down each one. Turn body upside down and make a bend in the pin so the interior is locked.

Or, fill the interior holes with JB Weld or CA and secure the pins that way.

 

My way with screws is good because they are easy to remove.

Those itty bitty screws don't weigh much.

 

I'm sure you will come up with something in the course of a week or 2, Bob :sarcastic_hand:  :bomb:  :dash2:  :laugh2:

:laugh2:  Now I got my fingers CA'ed to his as-sh and a pin in my finger ... it's bleeding ^_^ ... wow it stopped. must be the glue. See :good:

 

I'm more worried about the driver... not my finger or the itty-bitty screws ... :sarcastic_hand:

 

NOW - *You must take a course*

1 week :wacko2:

2 weeks :crazy:

Times up ! :heat:
