That's what I did last week to trim the outer 2mm of my plazma wheels
Unfortunalely I only have a cheap drilla and it wobbles badly, so I can't do any finework for anything which doesn't fit the dremel

I still have my 30 year old drill that have a middle part in aluminum so I can fasten in a vise. Another good thing is that the drill has a variable rpm adjuster built in.

This how the fronts turned out...

Nice!

yep, looks promissing

Nice work Lars, you build some incredible buggies.

Thanks guys!
This how it looks with tires and Rouge Element’s knock-off mounted.

Looks great, Lars! If you have 1000 & 1500-grit sandpaper, I'd hit those wheels with some wet-sanding, then follow that up with some polishing compound to give them a nice, high-gloss shine. Unless you prefer the satin look, which also looks nice. I like how the rims contrast with the red inners and match the knock-offs.

Lastly, as the sanded, polished aluminum is now raw & exposed to the elements, applying a bit of automotive car wax should give some protection to the polished surfaces.

A sneak peek…
I have started attach some decals and the wheels are done…

bulls-eye

This is yet another small update; I’m feeling that I lost my pace. One of my problems is that I can’t find my stuff; I have one reed oxide aluminum wing somewhere and I have some roof lights also. The other problems it that my mind are already working on my next project.

Awesome outcome - thumbs up.

What´s the next project

Now that really deserves to be called a "queen"

Now that is awesome! I love the wheels and the exhaust sticking out the back is a nice touch.

Amazing! I like the clean paint with a few key colored areas. Those wheels triggers the part of my brain that hosts "scale builds"

Cheers
