fitting body shell on the chassis

Post by Keld »

Wes oploaded a video with tips for fitting the body on the chassis



but there are more tips to this, i added some magnets on top instead of weight, this fix the problem with holding the bodies in correct position until the glue is dry.

I also use contact glue instead of epoxy, its take a little bit longer but I am able to remove it again if needed.

and I also keep all magnet with the poles in the same direction, this give me the opportunity to switch bodies later, to this I use a big magnet to hold the magnets while I glue them.

Maybe bodies produced in the future could have a little indent to set the magnets into? so they are always in the same place on every car? so bodies are easier to interchange as spares?
