Maybe that to keep it from getting scratched up before paint? I've had some bodies with no film. I got a lamborghini from Australia that had a supersticky film on the outside. I'm still peeling it.

In your case, maybe press and seal cling wrap?

It's the second one I've received with it on the inside. I think they put the sheet in the mold upside-down. It was cheap

Come on, give @DavidB1126 a break! He's new on the job, and have only been doing it for 6 months.

That’s not plastic wrap, it bacon grease

Maybe it's your location, on this side of the globe, it might be right...

They figured you'd be mounting the body upside down anyway.

wow is masking off a body some tough work i’m only like half way done with the tape it’s not perfect but it works

did accidentally get tape on the window mask so that will probably peel off and if it does i’ll just put tape in its place and cut to shape with a knife

I just want to say that while I don't boycott any particular RC brand, I'm not on good terms with AE. Recently they've been pumping out re-releases left and right, but nothing has been said about parts support...other than them giving the aftermarket trouble.

I am a hobbyist, I like to run and upgrade my RCs. Building shelf-queens and brainless collecting does nothing for me.

Most of their models are good stuff, but lets treat them as real RCs and not just expensive models to display.

Too many good choices to agonize over any single company's perceived short comings.

I expect there are lots of folks buying the re-releases, but I can see how they wouldn't appeal to those who want to run them.

I am sitting here putting together my next grocery order, and things that I just bought a couple weeks ago like soda pop and chips just jumped up about 20%. On a positive note though, it means I won't be buying as much junk food. I'm not paying $10 for a 12-pack of soda. And I damn sure ain't paying $6 for a puny air-filled bag of Doritos.

I am blaming a lot of our food price hikes on Doordash. They have completely ruined pizza delivery. What used to cost $15 and a few bucks delivery fee now costs about $30 total. Everyone is raising their prices to pay the delivery services their ridiculously inflated delivery costs, which I was told by a local restaurant here is 30%.

Restaurants need to go back to employing their own delivery drivers.

I know that you're at the mercy of home delivery, but I'm not and I just won't do food delivery. I actually don't mind going out and picking it up. I just don't find it to be a hassle like a lot of Americans do.

If I could do that, man I'd love to. I really enjoyed shopping for groceries. Nowadays, I don't get to browse, and I have to use the search bar to find things I want. I use the coupon section to browse because that gives me things to look at I don't think to search for. That's why I love our foodie thread. It gives me ideas that I used to get by just browsing through the store.

There is a joke about this but it is a family channel.

Right I hear yah, I'm just not their target audience.

I actually enjoy grocery shopping. Often time, I have no ideas for meal plans, and just peruse the aisles until something pops into my head/belly.

I used to enjoy it, when I could walk more than 10ft.

I get that. Most of the things I enjoy, such as hobbies, many people just don't get the appeal. But, for whatever reason, it appeals to me, so that's all I care about.

You do you, Boo!
