Traxxas X-Maxx Dry Wall Tape and Gorilla Glue Body Reinforcement! 

Thank you for watching! Just a heads up! It's not a fun project and it will add weight. I feel like in the end it was worth it on the X-Maxx but your mileage may vary. I'm not saying don't do it! Just being transparent with you. Thanks again for watching!

How did it go for you?

For liability purposes I would say use as the manufacturer suggests on the container. My personal experience is, you can smell the product but it isn't overwhelming. I did my project in my basement. The tube actually says low odor right on it and it is made for interior home repairs.

It's good. I haven't tried the shoe goo so I can't speak to what's best. I will say I learned a lot on this project and would do it differently if I had to do it again. I would cut much smaller strips of the tape so it would lay down better. I would also maybe spray a light high tack or something to hold the tape before the goo is applied. I've seen some use hot glue. I would also use a lot less goo and or go thinner with it. Pros- definitely a lot more durable. Cons-time-consuming, not a fun job, very heavy. I'm not sure if this is the product I used or just the nature of the application.

I'll make a RU-vid short of how the body looks now after a lot of bashing. I'm sure you've seen some of my shorts of how I treat the truck so you can get an idea of how well it's working.

It is not fun. Did you do it in small sections or glob and go?

@@RebuildRC-1843 glob and go, if i did it again id use small strips instead but either was, ordered tape and will sort tomorrow.

For sure I would do small parts at a time if I did it again. I did not enjoy the project but I will say in the end I'm happy I did it. Hopefully you will feel the same way.

@@RebuildRC-1843 Thanks m8. Maybe another day

Thats exactly what I think, just get a new shell for £30 to £40 quid Ain't worth the hassle Shoogoo and dry wall tape costs over £25 ain't worth the grief
