|  body repair
I have a cheap and easy solution to fixing cracked and ripped bodies. Its Tuck Tape, for those of you who dont know what it is, it is a very sticky tape used for holding on tyvek sheeting on the outside of building before siding is put on. It is almost like packaging tape but easier to work with. I have a few cracks in my body on my wheely king from roll overs and I patch all them up early with this tape and it works great. It is also holding the body of my rustler vxl together. Just figured id let everyone know seeing as it is cheaper then those body repair kits and is easier to work with then packaging tape, plus its handy to have a roll around the house.     |

Is it water proof? I have found out the best tape is Poly Hockey Tape (the kind used to tape up your socks to your pants/gloves to your jersey) It is super sticky, strong, can flex, wont peel off paint, clear, and most importanly water proof. I use it on my RC boat to seal the lid. Works great.  |

I've become pretty creative with shoe goo over the years.  |
