hi all,
would any of you out there have used a fibreglass shell on an fg monster truck or variant of, and if so how do you think they compare strength wise in comparison to the polycarbonate shellsi'm struggling to get my head around replacing this hummer shell after its first outing at a cost of £60-70[:@] any comments gratefully recieved! many thanks vacey.

I have heard they are harder to paint as you need to prep the surface and obvisouly you have to paint the outside so more prone to scratches.

thats fine,at least you can change your scheme every so often, a good couple of coats of laquer will also help,its just durability really, cheers guy

I've got a fibre glass shell on my marder looked really nice and the painting took a bit longer but looked really good with loads of laquer the only problem was 20 mins of bashing landed on my roof and smashed the shell to bits. but it does live on with a few cable ties in the right places. would not buy one again.
