Default Lexan Body Stitching

Here's what happens when your Slash 4x4 PErear stock tires explode on you and bust out your rear fender wells and does a hard roof landing. Then you go back with thin CA and medium CA ALL the tires again. 3S and higher gearing with stock rubber doesn't work out so well lol.

Then you go in and drill into the body and stitch it back together with zipties, CA, silicone, and heavy duty duct tape.

Time for a new body? Idon't think so....lol







Sure ain't the prettiest but she sure can handle her own!

Only broken parts so far was one of the hinge screws on the rear backed out and broke off the side of the A arm. Replaced with RPM rears.
Beyond that also broke the front splined steel output shaft...it completely broke in half but the aluminum drive shaft splines were all in tact and nothing else!
