XX KINWALD QUESTION

Thanks to Mr. Rick Weeks,I now have a new X-Cellerator body for my XX CR.
I'm going the full Kinwald on this car and was surprised to find that the 'correct' XX CR Kinwald body interfiered with the Kinwald front shock tower.
The A8008 body *just* slipped in there,but the X-Cellerator body just doesn't want to fit this front shock tower.
Any ideas?

Really?
I thought they'd just work together! This s the same body and front shock tower included in the XX CRKinwald kit,right?

I don't know if there is a whole lot you can do-I know my CR with the Xcelerator body is tough to manuver through the front shock tower. I had thoughts of trimming the nose more but decided not to as it is a shelfer-the body only ever comes off if someone asks to see the chassis, which doesn't happen too often. Sorry, can't help any more.

Seems like a shame to have to alter the Kinwald body to fit HIS shocktower! :shock:
I'll stick with the stocker,I guess...Thanks guys. :wink:
