Rear body post holes (Ripping Up)

[kevinem82]

So naturally I've been flipping my pede non-stop and my rear body post holes are all stretched out. The front posts are in tip-top shape. Is there any mods on here to fix it. Pics?

Also for future bodies are those rpm snap tite body savers good?

[Slaughter33]

People have issues with the rpm savers. I just put drywall tape over the hole and cover it in shoe goo. Some people shoe goo washers under the holes.

[kevinem82]

will the drywall tape hold the body clips since its stretched out?

[Slaughter33]

Since they are already stretched. I see if you can shoe goo some washers underneath. Maybe a layer of drywall tape, then shoe goo and stick a washer in the shoe goo.

[NITR0 newbie]

Slash rear bumper with wheels and Proline raptor body with tape.

Drywall or duct tape will both work fine but the shoe-goo and drywall tape is by far the best.

BTW DKnuckles, do you have an update on this body?

[kevinem82]

im still confused as to why the washer saves the body. If you flip it on its back...its stops the body from pushing down the posts. I'll give it a shot

Although this is not impervious to stupidity. Landing a 15ft of air inverted will still tear the lexan.

I shoe goo most of the inside with this method and have taken 20ft plus landings on my lid and have held up rather well. Sometimes you get lucky, sometimes not.

r the plastic washers good or should i get metal

[Spillproof]

I gave up on the shoe gooing the body savers to it. They never stay. I took some scrap lexan, thick part from the edge, and i cut some 2x2in squares. I sanded them to rough them up and glued them over the fibreglass with shoe goo. After curing, I drilled the holes again. I put it on the body last night, and I can still get the pins in with the extra thickness, barely. Hoping this fibreglass and goo filled lexan sandwich will hold up well. If the wife sees me bringing any more RC bodies into the house, she will probably shoot me.

I just started placing metal washers over or under the body when I attach it now with the clips. No more issues...
