I've seen some scalers use adhesive magnets as well as velcro tape.
Don't expect it to hold the body in place during roll-overs though.

Get some of that heavy duty velcro and it won't come off. I used that stuff on an e-revo and it was hell trying to take it off by hand.

i use Velcro to hold down my ESC on my crawler, so it might hold your body if you use enough Velcro.

I use rare earth magnets that you can buy at Lowes or Home Depot. 3 magnets on a Jeep hard body and it is quite a challenge to get off.

I used the magnets, when body gets hung up by branch or roll over body always comes off, and I had lights wired so it sucked.
Velcro is nice because you can move it around. They make a extra strength Velcro also.

I read up on the magnets and have seen the Velcro but there should be another way just haven't found it yet
