Default I keep on loosing body weight :D PICs

The cold weather and bashing is taking its toll on the plastic bodies. The cars just keep looking meaner and meaner.

SO long ago (2 months) it looked like this.



Then lost the roof



Then lost the frt

Shoe-goo the entire inside of the body. It will make it stronger I hear.

But if you use a metal body you will lose a lot of speed becuse of the wieght so just keep doing what your doignuntill your shell breaks then buy a new one.
