You guys go nuts with your tutorials, won't bother me in the least. As for shaving the body, I had to do that also...make the side wall thinner and a little off the inside of the back bumber. However, I picked up a Dodge pickup body today from RS and it's thinner and doesn't require the shaving, still need to notch the bumber a tiny bit though. One thing you could do is put some kind of standoffs near the rear body mount tab to pull the body back as far as it will go, you might get away with no shaving at all on some bodys, I recommend foam here as it will allow you to compress it when removing the body. Looks great ZZmods, glad you had success, now get out the paper mache and build yourself a mountain to climb!
AND back to the original secret topic of wheel weights, I finally got all four done, and with the help of a wheel kit from RS, I'm back in business. The truck weighs a TON now, it's 3.7oz, no joke. The only downside I see of this weight is the stress on the steering and gearing. No problems yet, in fact I think it turns sharper now (weight on front wheels maybe?), and let me tell you, it's rock solid stable. The CG is so low, it's almost impossible to roll it over.
Chilli, I use the blue loctite stuff in the red tube as well, I bought the tube like 4 years ago and there's no sign of it running out anytime soon. A little goes a real long way.
