I used one side of velcro.

meh i like being more complex....lol

[Garbage_Man]

I figured it was sticky and already in little squares. Your may last longer.

I have duct tape but dont think it will take long to wear through. I like the lexan though that might be my next fix.

[Garbage_Man]

I've already lost a few pieces of the velcro.

I'll probably shoegoo some lexan scrap to the backside.

Servo tape with something on the bottom side for me! Hopefully it will stand up to the water! Ohh wait... I dont have a slash yet! lol

[blackcatnastang]

I used shoegoo and shoegoo only and it seems to be holding up so far.....

Couldn't you just modify body posts and raise it 8-10mm higher, I'd prefer the wheels not to rub at all.

Nice fix, I'll probably do that to mine when I get it.. I like the paint, I dont need it rubbing off :)

[Slyp Dawg]

I've got some black duck tape on it. I'll probably put a second layer of the stuff on before I really go after it. of course, the clear packing tape without the little reinforcing fibers might be a good choice also

I have had awesome results using aluminum duct tape. It hasn't came off and the tires just spin on it, but no rubbing the paint off the body!

I was thinking the same thing...

i just slapped some gorilla tape over the areas that rub. course i really dont care about the look. i really like the look of the tape. it gives the truck more of the rugged beat up used look that i love

All I did was put one of the included medium sized spacers on the front shock towers.

you can ove the body mounts up higher but it realy ruins the look of the truck imo

i think its pretty bad that traxxas didnt sort this problem when testing the truck, but its not too bad, i just put some tape on the inside
