I like it. Looks like a mega truck from monster jam series.

Try Neodymium magnets to hold your body on instead of the Velcro, under $10 for a half dozen @ Home Depot

With the exception of the one blooper run where the body came off, it stays on better now. Did you pick up the magnets?

I did get some magnets but wanted to ask how did you get them to stay to the body? I used clear shoe goo but it didn't work. The magnets were so strong that they ripped off the body and stayed on the chassis lmao.

Try using Loctite gel superglue. I use it on everything. It's slow drying, so if you have to re-adjust the location, you have a little more time, just test it in an inconspicuous place, or a test piece, never used it on painted lexan.

Okay. I'll try a test piece of painted lexan and see how it acts before I paint a new body lol.
