That stuff adheres to the paint? Did you do anything to the paint to prep it?I just used a spray-on truck bed liner inside my Kraton body . Still flexible but super tough. And easy to apply.
That stuff sticks to everything but I guess a primer would prob help. Its like ink on your hands if you get sloppy. I washed the inside and dried it out. Then used an alcohol wipe just to make sure it was clean. Sprayed it with 3-4 coats. Could do more i guess if you wanted it thicker.That stuff adheres to the paint?

Need opinions on what method to use to reinforce my bodies. I’m currently using shoe glue with mesh tape. But would like to try something different

I'm new to RC, but I'm fascinated to see how fast people will destroy their 100$ worth body shell with glues, duct tape, rubber, etc... when all you have to do is to use the interior of the shell as a mold to create a new smaller one... and embed the original one over it. Thigh fit, nothing will move.
Can you post more info? I’m game. You have my attention. Is there a video or instructions somewhere. Are you talking heat and vacuum mold a sheet of lexan?

Right, my unbreakable body wasn't even that much.Hundreds of dollars, what? I guess it depends on how expensive the body you buy is, but you can get a roll of drywall tape for a couple of $ (and do several bodies), and Shoe Goo, about $5 for a big tube, I've seen some people use hot glue (and have started to do that mixed with the SG, works pretty well especially on intricately detailed bodies). Would like to know more about what you are doing though, sounds interesting.

That's 85 CAD, before taxes and shipping. So yeah. Before being like "that guy is crazy"... think twice.
OEM bodies are always stupid expensive. The factory body for my Ecx Ruckus 1/10 is $45. Some of the 1/5th scale oem bodies are over $100.I'm from canada... a painted body cost around 100$CAD with taxes and shipping.
