You got the universal kit didn't you? So what is the problem? From what i have been told you drill the holes for the custom mounts and then you put em on with a little thread lock.

Re: How do u do Lambo Doors on 1/18 supra

LET ME START WITH A WELCOME!

i think he was talking 1:1....

but anyways, there are several ways to do it. most likely you are going to have to experiment yourself and come up with a solution. But I know of a way to do lambo doors, so maybe I will make a tutorial this weekend.


one question- how are you going to do a WORKING air suspension?

do u remember those toys that we used to play with when we were smaller

u press a button that looks like its full of air (which it is)
and then it makes a wierd whistle sound.

well im using a miniture version with tubes connecting to each other that curculates the air

sounds very complicated?
well it is.

im a very expierienced modeler (15 years)
i might put a tutorial
doubt u guys might understand

another way to do the suspension is to buy one of those kits with the hopper thing (dont know the exact name)
and cut it and make it smaller so that it jumps alot less.

ive done that before and got only the chassis to move but the whole car stays on the ground.

Re: How do u do Lambo Doors on 1/18 supra

oohh dont get to smart on us now. You would be very suprised what people know around here, so dont be afraid to show of your technical skills around here. Im also sure many would like to know how you are planning on doing it. I may not be the most experienced customized (only about 5 monthes) but I can handle my own, already won one diecast customizing compitition and got to go on a visit to Jada Headquarters and meet with the "Big Guys"

But back on topic I dont know what you are talking about, when you refered to the "toys we used to play with when we were smaller", Im pretty sure when you were playing with that item, I wasnt even born yet.

And the Hoppers would require alot of modification to make it work, you would most likely loose your interior
