I didn't realize it until teardown.. im used to traxxas arms held in by catch pins.. I also liked their replaceable delrin inserts.. gives them longevity. But yea I think they are the only manufacturer so far that allows you to remove the pins this way

I'm not sure if this is a good idea, or something that's going to make a huge mess later on, but I installed some 3M PPF film to the chassis. I picked up a 8x48" piece for like $12. Hopefully, It'll do more good than harm. I figure for a few bucks an install, it might be worth it to keep things looking a little nicer.

I'll mention that I don't have any shelf queen rigs. I show zero mercy to my bashers, but I do also clean the hell out of them between. Car detailing is another hobby of mine and it translates to the scale models. I even put a 3 year ceramic coating on the body and wheels. lol If anything, it makes them a little easier to keep clean because dirt etc has a hard time sticking to ceramic coatings.

Anyway, here is a couple pics of the chassis post PPF install. I wasn't too concerned with small air bubbles etc. Plus, this was the first time I've ever touched PPF. It's far from perfect, but I'll be interested to see how this holds up.
