I painted a $50 body, Spent $20 on paint and about hour into masking and painting .

It looked sweet for one race ...Races are 6 mins......  

It happens we kill them quick sometimes.

To make mine tough I use shoe goo and fibreglass mesh.

Thin layer of shoe goo then stick the mesh down,then more shoe goo. Use very sharp scissors when cutting the mesh.

Final result is STRENGTH, little extra weight but seems worth it to me .

Thanks Belial, i think i can save the body with some works. I have this bottle of Flex seal so if i mask the outside body with some tape (maibe some carbon tape) and use tje flex seal on the insides i may get something. Anyway i will see if this work.

For now here some picture of the shell after the crash.

I may use some velcro tape to attach the back body on the frame.

Here another picture of the brushless motor with the new screws i used, since the stock ones where not enough tigh.

Now i need to make some adjustment to minimise the roll over. I will lower the chassis with smaller shock with harder spring (already got them). I can adjust the angle of my rear tire with the turnbuckles i have. So i will mess with this to see if i get better handling result.

Maibe if i replace my offroad tires with some rally tires i will get better result. Since i mostly run on as asphalt road.
