I never would have thought of something like that, wow. Amazing.

i just got a fj40 body yesterday and glad i saw this today before i went to hacking it apart with a stupid knife. THANKS again

Im completely new to this, havent even bought a truck yet... still researching and what not before I make decisions but this is a pretty dope trick, Never thought of it before with my other RC's! "thumbsup"

Great idea! Have you tried dental floss? It should be stronger than thread. I used to use it to remove emblems on cars without hurting the paint or messing up the emblem. It's an old paint and body trick for 1.1 vehicles.

i would have never thought of this but can understand how this would work. do u use waxed or non waxed floss to do this?

Very cool trick. What's the best method to re-attach the panels? Like the guy who bobbed and dovetailed hit Toyota, how do you/what is a good glue to use? Also, how do fill the seams to looks clean for paint?
Thanks...

I cut up my first perfectly good hard body the other day. So easy & clean even worth the stares I got while doing it.
Thanks for the tip

I use 8# mono fishing line and it works great too, won't break as easy. It works on lexan BTY.


Great post BECKWORKS!

Thanks for the writeup, I had to go cut something up just to prove to myself how well it works.

I have similar experience as TEDROCKZ. But I never thought of it on a smaller scale. Nice.

[joe122]

I would have never thought of this method, thanks for the tip.

 

[wil3284]

awesome!! I can't wait to try this out this week

 

[arlan_jacob]

Awesome! I had no idea this was a possibility. Thanks for this.

I found that regular thread was a bit weak, I bought some heavy duty thread that was a lot thicker and stronger then plain ol thread "thumbsup" ....

 

[m0nster]

ive seen a lot of straight cuts, how does it do for curves? great THREAD btw. < like the 300th time I bet.

10 lbs braided fishing line works great

 

[diasan]

Would that work on cutting the lexan windows out of my rtr body?
