I'am feeling a little frustrated now. I have trashed my fourth body in a short period of time. Is there a way to strengthen the body somehow to prevent this from happening? My car is a Himoto Ranco and all other parts seem to be quite durable. Last time i broke it I was driving on grass and I was a bit violent on the throttle. The car flipped over a couple of times and the body went to pieces. On Himoto's homepage it says that the body is made of "explosion proof pvc". This could not be more wrong. The body looks like it explodes when it breaks. Am I the only one with this problem?
 
I would get an after market lexan body from Proline that will fit.

"explosion proof pvc" ...... LMAO!
 
Sounds like you need to switch to a different body. Check out proline and parma. They make all kinds of bodies. Proline has all the dimensions listed on their web site so you can be sure your getting one that fits the first time.
 
Shoe Goo + Webbed Drywall Tape = Rock Solid Body ;-) I shoe Goo ALL my bodies in the high stress areas....and if/when they crack I add webbed drywall tape over the Shoe Goo. It stays semi-flexible, but VERY strong.

I had one body that literally exploded, and I repaired it with @ half a tube of Shoe Goo. It now weighs @ 3lbs....but it won't break again ;-)
