My Losi XXXNT rubs/melts the paint off the drivers side where the pipe couples to the manifold. Seems to be on the rear-most zip tie. Only does it with the proline crowd pleazer body. Anybody else have this problem? I checked the coupler for leaks and tried snipping off the old zip tie and replaced it tight with a new one, but it's still doing it. Pretty soon I'll have a nice little hole through the body!!!

Your body is rubbing on the exhaust when you are running it.

To remedy this, take a zip tie and feed it through a piece of fuel tubing just long enough to go around your exhaust (where you are experiencing the problem). If you are having a hard time feeding the zip tie through the length of fuel tubing, cut the tubing into smaller sections and run the zip tie through them separately. Attach your newly made silicone shield to your exhaust, and you're done.

Good luck.

Cool! Thanks, I'll give it a try.
