I was running low on body clips and with the constant backflips of the mamba 6800, I was forced to work out a kind of roll bar made only to keep the body clips from leaving their posts. Here's what I did.

So there it is. I drilled two holes in the body and forced a pencil between them. It fits very nicely, not going anywhere. I know its not the most professional looking little upgrade, but i searched the house and couldnt find anything as cheap and easy as a pencil, and with me leaving town tomorrow for the beach I wouldn't be able to swing by my LHS for more clips
 
paint it brown and kinda splinter it a bit, you can tell people you hit a telephone pole!
 
haha...I'm afraid the brown wouldn't stay long with how much this thing flips..at least since its wood it might absorb some of the impact..It also strengthens the body some.
 
I don't see any mistakes. Actually, a 2X4 came off an 18 wheeler and went through the windshield of my uncles jaguar at 65mph a few weeks ago. He wasn't happy.
 
I meant correct his driving mistakes.
If your uncle wasn't Happy, which one was he, Grumpy?
Your uncle should be VERY happy. He's still alive.
 
That is very true. He totalled his last jaguar. Some guy in a jacked up truck clipped him at 70mph.
