No amount of Gorilla tape, Shoe Goo, fibre glass tape, rivets or zip ties was able to resuscitate them. Here's the place you can post them, where they get the respect and remembrance they deserve.

I wonder if @bicketybam still has Trash’s corpse laying around somewhere? That’d be a good one. ?

Dang @Notorious J you've gone through just a few bodies! :eek:
I've had a very steep learning curve, and this show we're doing in Toronto next week, might require another coffin when I'm done. Let's see them everyone. Don't be shy, no judging here.

I remember when you first finished that all Black body @Mr.Duke. I was so amazed at how great it looked. Good memories for sure.
 
With rivets, tape, zipties and other plastic bits, it lasted me a year:

My old tmaxx days when I did not care at all...

Actually cut the rear of the bodies off after they got damaged and made roll bars/mounts for them:

The savage was similar:

Stampede before it got too bad:

Somewhere along the line, I started caring a bit and replace them when they get trashed. I have a new probodyrc body for both the erevo and stampede that I have yet to cut and install. The one I put on my outcast seems to be holding up well.
 
Sorry this is the best I can do!!
Infraction body is original, bought last year around end of July.
Outcast body a bit newer, bought around end of Oct, I think...
Not to the graveyard yet but they are definitely on their way!!


I just realized looking at the pic of the Infraction, whoa does it have a 'Derp' look to it!! To many hits to the head ! ?

Was wondering when you would join in ?
 
I would love to join in, but to be honest none are dead yet...?

The best I could do is this...

Maybe you can't see it in the pics. The bodies are all V-shaped front to back, flared outwards in the rear, and most of the body mounting areas are ruined. Could I use them? Sure I could, but I do bash with others often and record a lot of video, so I guess I just get embarrassed about having such mangled bodies and opt to get new ones. Jennys Rc is also partly to blame.

I've had the front end crumple in on me a few times, crazy how the damage almost simulates a 1:1 front end crash!
