Tamiya lens keep falling off, need glue help.
 
So I took my rig with the Tamiya Hilux body out for it's first trail run and after the first day of running all the glued in stuff fell off, all my lenses and stuff that was glued with the plastic super glue, what the heck, so I was wondering, what do you guys use to glue in the lenses and NOT have them pop off on the first trail run, what glue or bonding applications do you guys use?

I've found that when using any glue that the area needs to be paint free. I've had happen to me what happened to you so now I scrape off the paint and the chrome first. I use a product called E-6000 that was recommended to me by a member here. It's similar to Shoe goo.
