I love Gorilla Tape and Gorilla Glue when it comes to rc bodies.. I have reinforced several of my body's using Gorilla Tape as well and it definitely helps

Yeah you’re right it definitely makes it last a lot longer!!

Gorilla tape and hot glue to fill up the hard part that doesn't flex. Use hairdryer at the end to make it stick better. 👍

Thanks for the tip! I should try some hot glue to help reinforce some of those vulnerable areas

I just did that on my rc. Now the body seems stronger than the whole car itself. 🤣

It’s pretty easy to do and it makes a huge difference in the durability of the body

I use this on my bodies... I also use the gorilla glue first... like a contact cement... then tape... we bash hard... 3x a week... and my bodies have held up great...

Yeah for sure

I’ve had good luck with gorilla tape. I have had it come off a few times but most of the time it is solid. Race bodies get drywall tape and a dab or shoe glue for lightness.

There's a better, and MUCH easier, way to reinforce RC bodies - spray/paint-on truckbed liner. It also looks, and home up, a LOT better.

@@RCKnockout You might consider taking with people who paint bodies professionally. While their primary job is to make bodies look outstanding, part of their also involves doing the bodies so they last a long time, through many races. You'll find that the majority of them do the truckbed lining (tho, only a single layer did race vehicles. As for "messy", not really...not unless the person is messy.
