Make Your RC Car Body Last Longer RC Body Armor

[@butzaman5139]

I’ve shoe Goood and drywall meshed and put edging on all my bodies. 12 Rc cars. I’m retired so I got the time to do it. Huge difference in strength. You can color match the edging too. Looks cool

[@Stewss47]

For some reason it makes the body shell sound solid. I fit this to all my body’s. 👍🇬🇧

[@jordansrc8483]

Nice 👍 you can always use modelers glue and apply it prior to pushing it onto the body. Then the excess that squeezes up will bond it and creat a seal all the way around the guard. Sweet product👍

[@jakejager]

Shoe goo and drywall tape is the best for protecting the whole thing... suppose you could put this along the edge after actually strengthening the body ;)

[@billyhighfill]

Facts. This is great for edge support. But under the shock towers and in the back. Ya. Definitely needs internal reinforcement

[@codenamethecleaner7519]

You can get that at any auto parts store used for car door edges just get the smallest gap width

[@suppaman19701]

Did this back in the days of the original TMaxx, works great!

[@ZombieGamingMetalhead]

I was wondering if there was a different place to get this thanks

[@kingkeif2406]

Perfect was wondering if their was a difference

[@DLAdventures2]

going to try this out for sure!

[@ChicagoBears2121]

Just ordered this based on your review.

[@SoleEpiphany]

Automotive weather stripping works good too

[@jasonpk2267]

At reduced cost.

[@jojaboy319]

Because caulk sounds worse than "the white stuff you squirt...." 🤦‍♂️ Lol. Love your videos. Keep it up! Been a lot of help.

[@angeloubarcelo8969]

Thanks Mark, just ordered the 50’ tube and used your discount code. Gonna install it on my RNR Maxx, body is slowly taking a beating, need to preserve that beauty!

[@bryannatusch2556]

Great tip, just ordered a kit for my kids stampedes!

[@noelboyd4827]

Hey Mark, that's just door trim for real vehicles, which you should have it on you Mustang and you wouldn't have got that chip on your door. Plus, you don't need CA or Shoe Goo. Just put it on and run a heat gun over it. There is a glue inside the trim piece. I put that on my gas RC boat and it held up GREAT

[@RichardUttingSharpshootingUK]

What a great idea mate! Thanks

[@oscarzepeda6682]

I got that body armor you sent me mark and let me tell you it works I landed bad and I thought my body would've cracked nope it was perfect thanks so much so sending this to me

[@MarkSantaMaria]

np... hope you enjoy everything

[@AndromedaMusic553]

I need to get some now

[@christiansrcs7789]

Thanks man I just got my first rc car body I am panting it rn

[@MatrixRC]

I need that t3kno sct410

[@_melonic_4560]

Have you tried the shoe goo and drywall tape modification to your bodies? I have done it to my Slash 4x4 and E Revo 2.0 and it make the entire body very hard and makes the bodies last 10 times longer

[@AaronFlaming]

This is the way to go, bodies that have this done are INDESTRUCTABLE! It might be too heavy for the track, though.

[@alexbekkala1718]

@@AaronFlaming yup it does add considerable amount of weight.

[@MarkSantaMaria]

Yup I usually use drywall tape and shoe goo to repair bodies. Doing the whole body usually adds a lot of weight.

[@jerryvolpini7987]

This is much slicker looking then fuel tubing and price seems good! Thanks for the heads up 👍

[@PhorzaSky]

That’s actually pretty clever. I may just have to try it on one of my rc body’s

[@joshuawilliamson8402]

I really enjoy the rc body armor. I got some from Brent at the last club race I was at with him. I put it on my old busted up racing bodies and made some good practice bodies out of them. Im looking forward to running it this race season on my new bodies I just got painted. So far the product is working out well and haven't had any issues with it.

[@rchopup2639]

Awesome vid! I like using truck bed liner in a spray can as my final undercoat. 😁

[@derekquinones8614]

Do you put down dry wall tape then bed liner spray ? Have you tried shoe goo which works better?

[@rchopup2639]

@@derekquinones8614 I just spray truck bed liner directly on the underside of the paint job before I peel the outer protective cover off. I'll try shoe goo on a body and compare. That would make a great video... a 2x4 drop rig to consistently smash each body until destruction. Now that I think of it, I'll bet the failure points that could cost a race emanate around the attachment points... Maybe make a washer out of a popsicle stick on the top side. Maybe we should survey the community to find the most common body failures they have experienced...

[@dabigshow6830]

For the xmaxxs how many feet of the body armor did you use to complete the body ??

[@N_Fortune]

Wondering same thing...

[@rileydeaver6930]

So excited for the Christmas vids!!

[@mikerice5590]

This is a awesome sauce

[@lenharding72]

I have Shoe Goo'ed my car but the edge still take a beating. Plus I really like the edged look and how you rounded it a little. Ordering now.Oh, and thanks for the glue bottle tip idea. I have had that problem too. Hope you and your family have a great Holiday!

[@jonmayer]

I like the idea, just bought 25ft. Thanks for the discount.

[@ponyboy2195]

Finally the mustang i have something like that on my trunk under the wing is it manual or 10 speed automatic and enjoy your videos some kids need to get off the Xbox and playstation and get into rc

[@johnbickett9299]

Ahhhh so that’s where the shoe glue is at Walmart. Been looking in the hardware department. Thanks mark.

[@TheBowlerman5000]

Do you ever run the Sheetrock tape /shoe goo on your bodies?

[@DonnieKluck]

Mark what kind of CA glue is that you are using that has those needle type applicator tip ..... LOL literally as I was typing that you mentioned the glue tips to funny. So another question how do you keep them from drying out? Do you use the cap that comes with the bottle?

[@DonnieKluck]

Mark have you used the Dragon Skin Body Backer by RC Body Armor by chance? Curious what you think of it compared to the shoe goo and drywall tape reinforcement method?

[@antreaschristou7804]

How you call the black plastic rubber tape for the body? Can you give some informations to google it? Thx

[@nathancederlund1475]

Did you get the thing I sent you the mail office said on Monday or Tuesday u would get it

[@MarkSantaMaria]

I got it! I will be recording the opening soon... video should be out soon

[@nathancederlund1475]

Are you doing it today

[@WVFAN1958]

What is the best cooling fan for your brushless “‘Traxxas slash 4x4 Ultimate ‘’. ?? Thanks

[@timmytfpv7316]

Pretty cool stuff ima try it thanks for this 👍

[@DestructionRC]

definitely interested to see how well that works on the bodies

[@markridgley2239]

Use line x bed liner. Works the best

[@IansRcFun]

Cool idea. Yea yoor friend was right. i think screening spline or gas lines would serve the exact same purpose.

[@rickhayes4111]

Order some for my Stampede and Slash bodies.

[@bloxer6746]

Do you need to glew or not

[@redblue40rc33]

Question..I have a new nitro rustler body...painted n trimmed ...just discovered it sits on the resonator pipe.....what can I do to kind of shape the side to bow outwards?.....or maybe a heat protector to wrap around the pipe....idk Thanks

[@JuneBuggJr]

Nice, I bought the body armor

[@sessynieves1571]

What is underneath your shell called?

[@waltervining7331]

I need that tekno sct!

[@True_Mana]

Looks sweet and 10% off nice ....💯🤙🏽

[@reepaify]

Rubber Cement and Drywall Tape. Instead of shoe goo, use caulk instead, cheaper. Along with this, that would be awesome.

[@reepaify]

@John Lujan Anything that makes it flexible and resilient. I was thinking rubber cement cause it will pour when warm and you can just tilt your shell around for easier distribution.

[@nikkomartinez8965]

Use dry wall and shoe goo Kevin Talbot says it's the best

[@reepaify]

@@nikkomartinez8965 I have. shoe goo is no different than caulk (I don't mean exactly) , and I prefer rubber cement over both. It's cleaner and easier to apply, and honestly with a couple of paint drops with some flake it looks good too. I might give shoe goo some tries for applications, same with caulk, but at the moment I am just loving the rubber cement and the ideas I have running through my head. It's all opinion, you do what you think works great. If you got some innovative ideas please hit me up, I'd like to try them out.

[@uteboy86]

Shoe goo and drywall tape works so well for bashers too heavy for racing guys but I would imagine

[@stephencarlisle6339]

Try gorilla max strength industrial adhesive clear in the caulking tube. I just lined my basher body on the Tmaxx with this and drywall tape. I really like the results. Very flexible. More valve per ounce.

[@JERRYR708]

What diameter is the edge protector tubing? Its' for my 1/12 bodies. Thanks.

[@danielcastillo3569]

Where u buy the rubber

[@jonathonbremer8405]

Seems nice and all. I just used Rubberized Under Coating on the underside of my body.

[@AvidRCWorld]

Thats pretty easy!

[@snoopysrc]

awesome

[@hankweiser9859]

Why is the fleet color? Do you have a fleet of vehicles? White is cheaper because it’s a fleet color.

[@warrenintertainment4203]

Nice now i can upgrade my $5 rc

[@joshualemay3738]

Are u in ontario?

[@tanklesspolarstar]

Love the vids

[@charlesb7831]

Ummm what's weird about this is I use to race pretty heavily RC vehicles 25 -30 years and I use to take electronics wiring and cut a slit down the length of wire and mount it around the edge exactly the same way and used Shoe goo to hold it. Everyone thought I was nuts back then, so who knows. I still have an original RC10 GT with this done on two of the bodies. My other early vehicles I unfortunately sold , ie. RC10, Losi Pro SE and a JRXT pro.

[@jasontan7920]

Why they don't do harder plastic?

[@So0nerMag1c]

He was momentarily afraid to say “caulk” lol

[@drakunusrcmaniac8708]

[@fcsthememe7987]

I need something stronger on my Rustler 4x4 because I've cracked the back side ridges.

[@michaelchristensen6884]

Need to start in the rear so the gap does not catch on something as easily.

[@michaelvankirk3576]

I'll stick with the drywall tape and shoe goo it makes my body almost indestructible and for 60 to 80 a pop for a body I rather have the weight great review though👍 I hope you and your family are staying safe

[@freemario6352]

That's way better looking than my duck tape...

[@stack8778]

Lol ironically I’ve been doing that for a few years already and yes it definitely helps the body from splitting and also stiffens up the whole unit and works well !! Lol and it’s call cocking and it doesn’t sound that bad or does it lol !! Keep up the Great Work !! Stay and Play Safe ! 👊👍✌️

[@majortomtogc]

What was the lighter for?

[@MarkSantaMaria]

when the metal glue tip gets clogged you can light the tip on fire and it opens it back up again.

[@majortomtogc]

@@MarkSantaMaria That is an awesome....tip.....Thanks!

[@petesterk2318]

Fuel line (RC) will do the same thing

[@radunit4805]

Try doing a drywall tape and shoegoo combo, then add that body armor up and that body might last for a lifetime 😂

[@Critical-Defense]

This video feels like the definition of irony.. your Mustang (love it, I’m a 5.0 guy myself) gets a door edge ding and the stuff you are talking about using on the edges of the RC cars is nothing more than door edge guard for full scale vehicles. I’ve been using full scale vehicle door edge guard rubber lining on the edge of my arc cars after shoe goo/drywall tape for quite a while now
