what sort of size board would be good for a 1/8 nitro buggy? 800x500mm seems abit big?

just had a measure of my losi 8ight and i think that 600x400mm seems big enough?

many thanks

lewis

ye that should be fine make sure its at least 4mm thick you want somthing that isnt going to flex you can always get a thinner sheet to back your paint with bit of plastic glue around the edges and a spot in the center should hold it

cheers mate,

i thought of getting the 9.5mm thick stuff from the shop in the link but i might go down to 8mm thick.

i would like to have a go at trying to airbrush it myself. what sort of paint would i use?

many thanks

lewis
