Just use the 2 screws to either side of the on/off switch. Back them out and put them thru your plate and back into the original holes in the chassis.

Oh thats hot. Thanks for the info.


Oh ya. I also heard that u have to drill holes to pu the spoiler on. Is that true?

And one more thing. I heard that the cooler u keep your engine, the higher performance it has. Does this mean i could go out in the winter when its really cold out and not snowing, and acheive greatly improved perforance, or will i just end up breaking the electronics somehow?

well for the most part, moving parts will wear and break...electronics...use doesn't really kill electronics....heat does...so the cooler you run it, the longer it'll last basically....same goes for like computer processors and such....the hotter it gets, the more chance it has to fail, but it you run it very cool, then you "can acheive" better performance, but with certain modifications.

Lilcricket...Just wan'ted to let you know that your skidplate idea is a "GREAT" idea. Not only will it work but it being clear makes it even better. Keep up the good work.

i did this a while ago but when i cut it i cut it vertically so it was bent down a little bit and i didnt have to roll it up and leave it overnight. i also mounted it with the screws on the front tab and the bottom screws used to hold the rear bottom plate on.

yeah I was wondering has anyone made a wrap around roll cage yet? my skykline is tow up

[aperson]

what do you mean wrap around roll cage? an actual bar roll cage or a piece of plastic that's wrapped around the chassis?

Ok, as far as finding flat plastic goes, I don't think it should be a problem for too many of you... you all mod, right? On just about any XMOD mod (motor upgrades, awd, and toolkit are the ones I know do) there is a plastic cover that is about the same type of plastic as a soda bottle. That's what I used...

Thanks, I will have to try that

im too lazy to do that, i just took sum extra stickers and put them over the bulgy parts, works really well, i had it so that there was 1 bomex sticker on a slant on each knob, lik \___ over the knob... much quicker and easier
