You reckon 2mm wall section, or do you want thicker

2mm sounds good to me , I am going to see if the resin supplier has something that is a little harder next time as the first few are Ok and will survive the usual slot car crashes well but they could be a little harder in my opinion . The Scalextric type cars are a harder plastic and they survive well .
Im curious about this only because Im adding box guards to a body at the moment . Im using the same styrene glue that I used to make the plug to glue bits onto the body and this glue is supposed to partially melt the plastic to make it bond , the styrene card is fine but the body melts a little easier and goes soft quickly . Once its all set / dried its all ok again but its not hard to mess it up by something as simple as a dribble running down the sides . I will ask the supplier about other casting plastic options and post any info I get .

Don't burn your candle at both ends rushing to make the plugs , myself and many others into slot cars have been waiting for the big manufacturers to make Aussie cars for years , so a little longer will not hurt , time spent now is quality later huh . Cheers mate
