OK, here we go!

The fujimi chassis parts need some adjustments to fit the Carrera body, specially in the front section. You need to convert this:



To this:



The adjusted parts will fit like this in the Carrera body:



As you can see, thereīs a gap between the chassis and the body in the front section. I did this to have enough room to move the pieces when I place the finished body in the chassis at the end of the build. When the diffusers get installed, this gap will be hidden:



Let me show you the cuts I made to the original parts to make them fit properly. Circled in red, are the sections I sanded or cut:







As you can see in the next 2 photos, the Carrera body have 4 posts to screw the slot racing chassis. Instead of eliminating this posts, I will keep them and find 2mm wide screws to attach the fujimi chassis and get a better and tighter fit at the end:





Thatīs it for the moment! The hardest part is done. Next time, Iīll show you the modifications of the diffusers. Thanks for watching!
