Need some help on my FC3S

Ok guys, its a work in progress, i basically just need to paint the whole body and the rims and finish off the taillights.

My problem is this, i kinda sprayed abit to much paint on the bonnet and its fucked, so can i sand paper it again to fix the uneveness of the paint and the tissue paper particles that happened to get stuck on when i tried to white the paint off

also can someone link me to where i can get a tutorial on how to make an exhaust, and do u guys have any tips for lowering and putting a camber on the wheels.

it has turning front axis so yea, if that gives u an idea of the problem and that i have no idea how to lower it.. so yea any help would be appreciated. Cheers dudes.

Re: Need some help on my FC3S

thanks for the help about the exhaust and paint, lowering is a different issue, as this model came with a electic motor, so the chassi is very different, i.e no shocks, ive had to go very dyi on it and have basically converted the chassi to work with the plastic middle of a cotton bud (ear bud) that way i can bend it to give the illusion of a camber and being lowered. you cant see it unless u lift it up so i guess its ok, theres not other way to do it really.. unless u guys know of any..

ill post some pictures onces its finish.. the white rims r looking nice tho i must say.
