Shoe Goo works great.

I second shoe goo. I also used a piece of flexible plastic that used to be one of my wife's cutting boards.

Hey Rob You need to lean on DARIN real hard that when they make the clear bodies for sale they need to get some real lexan. The shape looks OK but the plastic isn't worth .02 and there painting is realy bad.


Maybe just see if Darin can get there form shipped to here in states. I would pay little more to have the guy that molds your Ramtech body pull those out of some good lexan.


How many others would? Post up

X2 on the cheap plastic bodies and poor paintjob. I rolled over once, barely moving and cracked body. Lexan bodies have lasted through a lot more than that. But overall it is a nice looking body and from a distance the paint aint that bad its just the details that get me


looks like im gonna go down and get some shoe goo and maybe some plexiglass to reinforce the area.


I'd really like to get my hands on some carbon fiber sheets and copy the body i already have and paint that up, it would sick

I would pay for a body made of better lexan that fits the same as the stock one. I sent email to Redcat about this last week.

Bodies


If a fg body will fit so should a firehammer. Anybody know ????

I got a firehammer body let me try it. I also got a jeep body and it fits the firehammer and the FG. It looks great on the rampage.

I just set it on the rampage. The firehammer is a little small but it clears the shocks ok you would need to ct out more of the bed back window area to let the cage protrude. Being the rampage is a ext cab. I think the body quality is still brittle on the firehammer like the rampage so not sure if it worth your $$
