Even tho iv owned an RC truck for less than a month, it doesn't take an engineering degree to see that the plastic body shell is the weakest link, so this is the first thing iv modified, iv discovered that drywall mesh and this resin like goo that comes in a tube (cant remember the name of it at the moment) has worked wonders i will be glad to go in to detail and post some pics if anyone else likes the idea

Sorry bud, nothing new. That technic has been around for a very long time long time. The most popular adhesive is genuwine clear Shoegoo. And the most common tape is drywall tape but somepeople use fibreglass reinforced tape.

And the tamiya alloy tape is another technic and makes a good heat shield.

My only advice..... Don't go nuts with it....

on a bash car u won't notice much of a difference, but on a track car u will feel a slight reduction on preformance. Especially on vehicles with a poor COG.

over here in Australia I'm paying $15 for a tube... And I've found a open tube only lasts 6 months before the glue becomes less tacky to the point it's very hard to get it to stick.

so in some cases like 1/10 touring cars, sometimes they can be cheap enought to buy rather than trying to fix.
