The velcro should work great, as that is all I use to hold the shell on my 10th scale 2wd buggy and I also only race it (race cars see more abuse then a car you will bash as they are driven on the edge every lap or even over the edge if you want to make up time).

car looks good, mtm

The velcro has held up great for the limited time ive had with this car...
I've only driven it about 5 times on my street, and plan to keep it that way as i love to race as well Cool

Thanks for all the good words guys Very Happy

BTW, evil, how do you like the body? The paint blead in some spots, but it still looks good imo Smile

PS, all updates will be done tomarrow, ive been way too busy to do anything with it lol!

That's a very nice looking buggy and I bet it's a blast to drive - I'll have to watch the vid at work. We get on the net thru a wet shoestring (dial-up) here at home.

What type of batteries and whats your typical run time?
