A CA glue would be ok I thing.(Cyanoacrylate)
The best CA is at Hobbyking.This with the medium viscosity.

The one is medium visocity and the other super thin(I used the medium)
The medium is better for your use

Be careful with CA. It bonds instantly. I used this glue to mount tires on rims and make some custom tires. It's very strong.

Hell I used E 6000 on my light buckets and side mirrors and that works perfect it has some qualties of hot glue minus the hot part its really rubbery but once stuck it sticks good but its easily removed to if you want

Any CA glue is not only brittle, but will fog lexan bodies. Generally will make a mess of any project.

For RCbodies, use ShoeGoo or Goop, itcan be found in most major retailers in the hardware/sporting goods/crafts/shoesdepartment.
It'll bond about anything to anything (including paint or crome), is flexible, doesn't fog, is transparent, is easy to use, and can be removed it you want to change spoilers or something.
