"I'm not afraid of getting weird compounds on fingers" LOL

[REALMRCGOD666]

i use gaffer tape never looked back

[RCjosh647]

can you use plumbers putty

[pope350]

@RCjosh647 no probably not a good idea

[mower26]

great tip went to wally world picked this stuff up and took my dessert rat carnage body which littlerly had both rear body holes cracked and a split from driver side corner all the way across the roof into the passenger side wich rendered the body useless now it is realy strong saved me a few dollars till i can afford a new one

[hullj15]

xould you use duct tape instead or what about hot glue when its only just starting to melt

[ALLERTORLOVER69]

can i use gorrila glue?

[sgtpain28]

[thedknuckles]

Nice work on the vid!

[29gobills]

what about shoe goo 2?

[326cafrank]

Ok I am getting a team losi micro t an d an extra body. Te extra body is because I have thes little toy cars with guns on them. So I took the guns off and I want to know the best way to put them on the extra body

[Idontreallycare80]

@326cafrank ream a couple holes in the body per gun, and bolt them on.

[t3hscorchxp]

omfg thats what i do! wow, yesterday i saw the video for this rally car, which is what i was doing! omfg i should just watch all your videos, i end up doing them :P great idea to do all all weak points liek bodt mounts

[slash4x4lipo]

and can i put alum. tape on the drywall and shoogoo? (for sc truck rear wheel wells)

[slash4x4lipo]

is it a duratrax repar kit?

[ArsonHammockHanger]

I just used the drywall tape and shoe goo for my body. Looks great. Thanks for the tip.

[smileypjau]

Hi Jang, I've used the shoe-goo and fibre glass tape many times to keep the CORR truck 'basher' body going. Yep, even shoe-goed the body washers on. It works fantastic, I'd be onto my 4th body by now if I didn't know this repair trick. It does set via solvent evaporation, so make sure the body is away from anything that breaths when drying

[RichTurtle32]

Nice :-)

[RichTurtle32]

Cool :-)

[rcfreak363]

@astrax1101 what is wrong with that? i have never used protection for my hands while using the goo

[butty41]

i use duct tape for the wheel wells on my slash, lots of wheel action on the body!!

[rcboatdriver1234]

I like quik grip or marine grade e5000or e6000 shoe goo is still great stuff just not as easy to work with as the quik grip( which is still as strong)

[RicSupra]

For the people in The Netherlands that can't find shoegoo, go to the Formido,Gamma,Praxis etc. and buy Bison Rubber Repair.

[erevofreak96]

im not afraid of getting weird compounds on my finger.. LOL nice vid jang

[DragonBlade991]

can you paint over the repair so that you cant see it through the windows

[beastxmoder]

just a little tip for all you rcers out there! you can get shoe goo at your local skate shop, home depot, ive also seen it at walmart and target. in europe its called amazing goop, same thing just different package!

[1501HP]

[1501HP]

I just

[1501HP]

Wow how

[idrummerboy13]

great video

[605manuel]

wow great video thanks for posting

[styles895]

thanks



[MrBajaboy5b]

i just use gaffer tape

[Raptor50aus]

I bought a Traxxas Slash 4x4 body which had been coated in a linex boot spray like what is used in the back of utes. It has lastes nearly 1 year and no showing signs of wear and some cracking but un coated bodies would last about 3 months. Even the Proline bodies didnt last much longer.

[RcNickster]

These r great ideas and I use them myself but the only thing that I find with these ideas is that it adds a fair bit of weight to the car,,,So for bashing not usually a problem, something to keep in mind though, when racing. THanks Jang

[SLRCNetwork]

Jang is green and i like it :D

[SmoothlyLethal]

great video! definitely going to use these tips on my jato :)

[erikdravn]

Awesome info!!!  Thanks!

[XscXps3]

I found this out 1 month ago , any way thanks for saying it's right to use glue esc...

[PhillyRacer121]

i really like these how-to vids yang. very professionally done but still very laid back and rambling-esk. even if i dont need the info they are enjoyable to watch

[sjeses]

@PhillyRacer121

I completely agree. Even if you know most of the stuff in a video, it is still adding to the love for the hobby.

[Hobby331]

That tape is a great idea!

[UltimateRCnetwork]

Be sure to share your own tips & find others from the vast RC community at the Ultimate RC forums :D

[applebonghitter]

@UltimateRCnetwork

another good thing to do is use pickup truck bedliner.

[Raptor50aus]

@applebonghitter

Is that the same as Linex spray?

My Slash 4x4 body has lasted for nearly 1 year of hard bashing. Excellent stuff.

[applebonghitter]

@Raptor50aus its like a thick spray paint that you just spray on the inside after your done painting
