tried a few things nothing worked so far.. i cant even the get the sticker residue to come off the damn body. thought for sure rubbing alcohol would do it just spreads it around the body.. any ideas thanks

I know there are several threads on how to do this, I've never done it myself but I think people are using a certain kind of brake fluid, I'm sure more will chime in soon, if that fails type paint removal in the search bar and some threads should pop up! Good luck!

Brake fluid works, you have to let it soak for a couple days sometimes and keep it wet, get a tub and plenty of brake fluid and keep as much submerged as possible and keep flipping it around. It took me several days to clean an old clod body I did.

Lost wages, the clod body is not lexan is it not? I thought that it was a plastic based body? Cause I too would like to know? Thanks.

The clod body is styrene, but paint is paint, the last body I stripped was an old losi jrxt body, it is lexan and it worked the same way. Just don't expect to pour on some brake fluid and wipe off the paint, it needs time to soak.

Use lighter fluid to get the stickies off of it.

I just wanted to add, Zippo or Ronsonol lighter fluid, not charcoal lighter fluid.
