I have Inferno 7.5 and had problem with its body. I've already broke 2 bodies on a race.
The body always loose or tear right on the body post hole. Does anyone have suggestions on this.
Thanks.

i cut the noses off my bodyshells to stop them breaking & now they seem to last for ages
it makes it much quicker & easier to get the bodys on & off too!
heres a quick pic of my K2 with nose cut off

adamshowtime thanks for the tip, i will try it on my next new body. Now i need to figure out what should i do with the broken one because the other part of the body is still pretty good.
One of the reasons i jump into off road buggy is the fun of bashing the car that you can't find it on on road car.

it looks like they would be good i have a k3 coming and i think they would solve your proablems. you must be crashing pretty hard i thought when i started i was crashing alot and it still took me 1 year to brake a body.

Well, yesterday was my first off road race, doing the superball and landed 5-7 meters ahead on the body, it took my first body to break, and the second body on the final. Hopefully finished without the body on.

you could just make something similar to the Kyosho body support out of an old lexan offcut
easier to just cut the nose off, i don't think they look any better with the noses on, all it is, is a weak point that serves no purpose
i prefer having a shell thats easier to get on & off, that doesnt break every 5 minutes
