body mouting holes are the death of me

[exmark93]

on almost every car i have ever had the body mounts after a period of time manage to crack and push there way though the holes on my lexan bodies. my slash body just did this a few days ago and I'm looking for a way to prevent this. i am a basher so i land on my body sometimes. any suggestions to combat this proplem?

Use some 'fender' washers on top of the body mounts.

Shoe Goo these to the underside of the body at the holes. You can also use them under your body clips.

You may also be using stock .025" bodies. Try using one that's .060" thick like a proline.

yes it was a "traxxas trash" body hahaha. and darn proline doesn't make a painted body ): this is turning out to be a pain

buy a clear body, and some lexan spray paint. painting your own body is easy and a great deal of fun. and then you can show it off and say that it is truly yours.

i bought a proline desert rat and so far it has been VERY durable

hillbilly fix 'er up actually works quite well here! Pull out some duct tape, put it over the mounting holes on the underside (Multiple layers if it is necessary) and reem a hole in the tape through the mounting hole in the body. that has always worked for me...
