Can rear bumper fishtail still be fitted under rear hanger?

Is there a gear cover on the way for this conversion?
Hi,

The car pictured measures at 289mm on medium wheelbase, I tried all sorts lol, reversing the wishbones is the only way to achieve the required results.
Not that it causes any issues, the TRF and AE conversions both have reversed wishbones and they're very similar arms.

We decided against fitting the rear bumper, the overhang was too large, it would of ended up being torn off!

For now the Kyosho gear cover fits, I tried to get the 22 cover to fit but it weren't having any of it. Were looking at producing a tool to mould our own lexan covers in the near future.

Hope that helps!
