Traxxas XMAXX,FLEX SEALING THE BODY!! Will it work or hold up? 

My 1st time getting to post 1st.hahahaha...great video..I have a few cans of flex seal and been wondering if it would work....keep us updated on it

So i just did this to my Senton body with a can that was double the size of yours and a couple tips i have is #1 put it on in coats like 5+ because its pretty thin and tends to pool easily and #2 get 2 cans so you have enough because 1 can may not be enough for bigger bodies.

I think it will make the body tougher. But after seeing a video by King of Random, flex seal seems to tear really easily. So it probably won't help stopping the body from splitting . Adding dry wall tape would definitely help.

Nice one , will be interesting to see if it holds up . 👍🏻

Subbed, curious to see how this goes, Shoo Goo and Dry Wall tape are nice but they are messy and add a lot weight to the body. Personally I would have layered it on much thicker but you only had 1 can, so we will at least get a benchmark. Maybe doing this and dry wall tape will work even better, definitely would be easier than shoo goo being it just sprays on. I hate getting that stuff all over my hands, even with gloves.

Cool information and video

It definitely holds up i have been doing this for years to all my RC trucks/cars. Great video🔥💯👍🏼

The key is the drywall tape though, Im thinking the tape and this may work, but shoe goo is a PITA, but really sticks!

I'll flexshield a brand-new to drive wrestler body it's holding up pretty good

I found the drywall tape and shoe goo not to be worth the effort. I did it to a new body and it still broke at the back after a few bashing sessions. I've just gone with an unbreakable body instead it's much more durable.

Nice brother 👍🏻 I actually have black flex seal on a couple of my crawlers, and even with the rolls and tumbles they take, they've held up nicely. Now, it may just be because they haven't landed just right, but I'm going to credit flex seal with keeping them together (until they break 😂) by the way man, Jesse B Motors sent me 😁 🤘🏻👍🏻

I used Flex seal on one of bodys. and it was okay but pretty messy. I tried again on a different body. However I used the Rust-Oleum version of Flex Seal. which flowed and sprayed a lot more evenly than Flex Seal. all in all I give it two thumbs up. great vid

I used it on two of my cars about 6 months ago. Big Rock on the inside and my JBL Cheetah all all over. For the Big Rock I use painters tape for the outer shell that stuff gets everywhere. For the Cheetah on the outer shell it’s super ugly but for a car that flips in the street it works great. Just apply more when it wears down. It takes about two days to dry. Great voice for a first video

So whats the general consensus with Flex Sealing the shells? I've seen multiple people now using the drywall tape and the Flex Seal. So far do you think the Flex Seal is better than the drywall tape and shoe goo method?

Has anyone tried using drywall tape with flex seal ?

I use the silver metal tape... Came up with that idea many years ago and my bodies are still holding up. Didn't drive them for a few years but I have beat the shit out of my RC cars n that tape still holds up. Just started driving them few months ago

I do it to my body's and it has worked great for me 2 coats even spray

So how did the flex seal hold up?

The brush in flex seal also lets water and mud just run off of it

that's all i use. it works ok. I just done have the time to so the other methods. i put at least 2 or 3 coats

good idea would be a easy cheap way to save your body if it works lol. let us know how it works for you have a great day

I think this will not work well with out drywall type, caz the main thing is the drywall type, 🤔but I might be wrong, we will see.

Courious on weigh different between shoe goo and drywall tape on cars being race.

There is another video on flex seal test

I've got some new bodies coming...I def need to do something to get more time out of them lol

I've done a couple bodies this way, but used the drywall tape too. Took a couple/few coats. It comes in white and black. Tried the gorilla tape, edges peeled up a little. The shoe goo/drywall tape works great, the flex seal/drywall tape just takes the extra coats to finish. I got 2 10th scale bodies painted with one can of flex seal. Thanks for the vid! Off the topic question, big rock and kraton4s, same chassis? If so, anything interesting to mention in a side by side comparison?

sprayed it with wd40 then your going to paint over that? thats a lube...... use alcohol next time . your setting yourself up for failure

Interesting to see how this holds up !! I was actually thinking of using the Flex Seal aerosol , or the Raptor liner kit on my next body . Again great videos you make , glad to see you got an Xmaxx added to your fleet !! Mine is 3 1/ 2 years old now , if it were bad , I still wouldn't have it !!!! LOL BTW , my ESC finally let go , so installed the K8S ESC / motor in it , wild !!! great choice for replacement electronics !! If you have a min , check out my vid if you want to see it . Can't wait for more vids of your Xmaxx !!!!

The spray needs multiple layers I used the brush on flex seal and it turn out amazing

I've used many times before but with the drywall tape it works very well holds up very strong.

Nice!! Very curious how well it does. I am a fiberglass mesh drywall tape shoo goo guy. Although the Russian unbreakable body is the only thing that has really held up for me.

Great idea 💡 definitely keep us posted if it's actually better then dry wall tape which is still my favorite way for extended the body life. This way might do the trick too.

Is there an update video to this?

So how's it holding up after a few months?

Looks way better than the Goo & tape method I look forward to seeing how it holds up good luck .

Hey how did this hold up after a year?

Looks like it stuck pretty well that would've been my main concern, with my experience with flex sealing things I probably would've use two cans just to be safe. I know to get non lexan paints to stick to lexan you normally wash it with dish soap and then alternate hitting it with a heat gun and wiping it down with rubbing alcohol cause there's usually alot of mold release left in the plastic from the extruding and molding process of the plastic

i don't know this product, really interesting !!!

Great video Brother! Definitely curious to see how it holds up. Certainly a lot easier than going through all the trouble of the shoe goo drywall mesh rigmarole! Looking forward to the update.

Nice video bro 👍 🇬🇧 😀

Kool video bro I have been waiting for you to do this so I could check it out I was thinking about doing it also 😀

Imagine rhino liner on the inside that would be crazy

So how did this hold up?

How did it work for u

Smart

Was it worth it

Update?

I used just regular packing tape and the can of flex seal that's not a spray just the gel liquid and it's held up great for the past 4 months. No cracks dents or anything. I did it on my kraton exb. The shocks haven't even busted through the front like a stock shell would.

Update??

I did the exact same thing on my Xmaxx body
