Stock bodies are stronger?

[KevinP]

So throughout the years I've bought myself a transparant body for the typhon twice now. And both became pretty much damaged and unuseable after a couple of runs. The stock pre-painted body it came with though seems to hold up all along the way pretty fine.
This brings me to the conclusion that the stock pre-painted ones are definitely stronger than the transparant ones I buy and paint myself.
Anyone else experiencing the same and knows a solution? I mainly used Fastraxx lexan paint on them.

This is going to sound crazy, but everytime I've NOT used Tamiya paint the body seems to break easier..??

So I stick with Tamiya paint always now.. Its a shame we can't get some of the paint our American cousins use like Spaz Stix as I've seen some pretty cool colours in their lineup..??

Nah I guess you're right. Maybe the paint I use makes it break easier. I'll try again with tamiya paint.

I have always and will always use Tamiya paint.

I painted one body and used Tamiya paint because that's what the hobby shop sells.
