Like the spray foam idea! Wonder how it will hold up. I just reinforced my 3s body. Decided to try something Ive yet to see on here. Heavy duty auto body repair mesh and undercoating.

 

[K-BASH]

Does it make a big difference??foam still on body 10+runs.im gonna spray my new body before running it.a lighter coat this time,its 2inches deep in some spots.added 487grams but super strong,an gives a little on impacts.lol i like your method,is it alot stronger??,add much weight?

After widening my 3s senton I wouldn't got throu a body near as fast.lot less crashing

Im guessing here, but I might have slightly more than doubled the weight of the shell, maybe tripled

. Never occurred to me to do before and after weights. I took alot of care to not build it up. Basically, I cut the heavy duty mesh into long 2 inch wide strips and ran them lengthwise and across(red 1st layer), cut 1 inch strips and did same(yellow/second layer), half inch strips across fenders and bumpers(blue/3rd layer). Now, this mesh isn't too flexible so I did remaining spots with regular fibretape(4th layer) and then cut heavy duty mesh to place in stress points(green/5th layer). EACH layer done only over the mesh(to hold in place) and applied with a 1 inch putty knife, scraping undercoat back off(basically only filling mesh pieces in.
It isnt 100% hardened yet but already alot stiffer, and just did this 2 nights ago. Will use a dremel to cut out post and clip retainer holes. The undercoat is a brand I use for my RL SCT(lol). Motomaster and dries hard yet flexible.

How often do bodies break up anyways? Im feeling like I may have hit on the next "new way". I seriously cannot believe i haven't busted it yet

Mine always start cracking around rear mounts&roof first.wheelies destroy very rear also.FOAM IS THE STRONGEST,LIGHTEST MATERIAL IVE EVER SEEN. I SPRAY IT EVERYDAY AN ITS SOME AMAZING STUFF.but it's also a air barrier, so only sct trucks with open wheelwells would only work unless some sort of ventilation to keep electronics cools... fans built into the body for ventilation would be cool as ****!!!!!!!!

Stock senton6 body is the only one I haven't sprayed. I think the senton 6s body is a little stronger meaning it weighs a little bit more than a regular senton body

I just put a good roof test in. I find myself TRYING to crack this body. After the 40' cartwheel I view it as indestructible now and already had smacks like this regular. The video was done on purpose, I tried to flip it into the wall by popping a wheelie and hitting that curb with rear wheels to bounce it. I know im pushing my luck and im gonna do serious damage should I hit head on or a corner. But I kinda want a 6S now, lol

Have you widen it with typhon arms???best senton 3s mod imo.saves the body bigtime,lot less rolling
Stock vs typhon a-arms

Still trying to figure out how to post the damn video here.....
I think mine is all stock except for the servo

Lol had to GIF it to post it?

 

[K-BASH]

I do my videos on utube then here

 

[Greengaunja]

BTW, I also think I found a way (accidently) to keep wheelies from damaging the body. The tail lights have a metal cap piece and its taking the damage. Im thinking of maybe using something like carriage bolt(cut short of course). But those light housing caps? Im sure i can find them bulk and cheap. Paid 5 bucks for that led set.

No damage other than scuffs from that "curb bounce".

This is the issue I have. Honestly, not even sure what it means or how to "extend" it properly. Says .txt is allowed(this one i know, compressing a video to fit a text message) but when I try that I get the same message. Might be a set up thing with my new phone? I will have my son to look into it when I get home. I always said said I devoted my life to practical knowledge instead of "computery crap"
So my question is, are videos saved within my phone "linked"?

. Lol
