Yes, I agree fully. I was trying to stop a potential troll from launching into a bunch of subsequent snide remarks.

Why wouldn't it be convenient? There's absolutely nothing wrong with knowing that the Revell agent for Singapore is Miniature Hobby in Marina Square.

I take offense at the abovementioned statements, because I see a very thinly-veiled insult.
I thought it wouldn't be convinent for you to tell where you normally hang-out.

I don't hang out there. I hang out at Tiong Bahru's Hobby Point. He clearly knows nothing about me but thinks he does.

So easy? Will the re-joint be strong? How to ensure perfect alignment?

Thank you.

I don't think they're too low because we enter for the fun of it, not to win. The prize is secondary.

I'll be there to photograph every single entry, if possible. Time to buy a new compactflash card.

HAHAAHA...
I will be entering too...
just dunno what to enter...
Should I enter a
1) Track EG 6
2) EG 6
3) Track EG 9
4) EG 9
5) V-Spec II
Or some other cars???
Hahaha
Too many cars but not up to standard.

Well, For the suspension,
1) Measure how much to lower.
2) Cut the suspension rod into half and sand it to the shorten length that you want.
3) Glue them back together in place with a plastic cement. WAIT AT LEAST 1 OR 2 DAYS FOR IT TO STRENGTEN!
4) For the base to hold the suspension, either bend, or cut and glue. (All depends on how the underbase look like.)

It is quite hard to understand so explaining face to face will be easier.
This method is what I use for Fujimi cars.
For Tamiya cars, It depends on the underbase.

Hope this helps you...

Oh forgotten to add...
If you play with your cars by moving them on the floor, my advice.
DUN DO ANY MODIFICATIONS!!!
If not your suspension will be sure to BREAK!!

Suspension rod is the strut/damper/pushrod right?
Base is the A arms right?
