Cut it down the middle. Take the 3 inch section and mark your width. Run a bead of shoe goo on the 3 inch sections edges so the glue doesnt squeeze on to the main body. Staighten every thing out and tape it. When the glue is dry turn it over and spread the shoe goo out on both edges and bed every thing with fiberglass tape. I put in a few small screws and nylon nuts along the seam line.

Interesting Idea....I might save this for future use... For this project I have resorted to shorter arms instead of a wider body...

Thanks for sharing

If you decide to go back to full width, could you just image how good the handling would be. I've seen the nitro version and if you put any tires that are even remotely better than the stock ones, roll over city on a high bite track. I have a brand new stripped roller with trans that I was going to do a tekno set up on and I decided to dump it for this reason and cant even get any takers. I think full width with the widened body would be hardly noticable(vision wise) and quite deadly for a track/ basher. If I cant get rid of the roller, I might go the other way and get all the long arm parts and plastic chassis and widen the body.
