    Downsides to using velcro instead of body clips to secure the shell?

    I meant my replies to the other members' comments. Specifically, this: "I don't think that would be likely, my Wltoys 144001 is the buggy on my profile pic, if you take a closer look, you can see that it's a pretty low profile body, and air can only get in through the 2 front air intake cutouts...

    Oh, cool! I've never seen a body retaining system exactly like that before, closest I've seen is the system where your body is held on with screws, but I have no interest in that system (my shell isn't a a scale one like with some crawlers, so I don't need it), because then I would need to bring...

    Downsides to using velcro instead of body clips to secure the shell?

    Ok, cool! I'll probably run into that issue too, I'll probably use hot glue or a little drop of Gorilla glue to secure it. I'd like to avoid attaching something to the shell (semi?) permanently.

If it...

    Downsides to using velcro instead of body clips to secure the shell?

    Ok, thanks! I'll try to pull it by the hook-and-loop on the inside of the body instead of pulling on the side of the body. I'm running the stock body, and you can get replacement bodies + stock wings for ~$8, so they aren't super pricey or rare, plus it's not like mine is in mint condition...

    Downsides to using velcro instead of body clips to secure the shell?

    Hi everyone, yesterday I ordered a roll of hook-and-loop (Velcro is a brand that makes it), mainly to replace the 2 body clips on my buggy. You've probably seen this conversion before, where people do away with the body clips and instead stick some hook-and-loop on the side guards of the chassis...
