Worth fixing Body, or get a new one?

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I have several bodies for various cars of mine that are badly damaged. This is through lots of high speed crashes and the usual abuse I give my cars.

I was wondering if there is a way to fix big cracks in the lexan and if so how would I do this? Or should I just chuck the body and get a new one.  I am not looking for a perfect finish, I have a new body for my Savage XL that is fibre glass, just I would like to fix this so I have a bashing one for use on roads, that I don't mind about getting a gravel rash on the roof from the inevitable flips and rolls.

Similar with my Bullet shells, they have a few cracks, and I am not bothered about looks, just I would rather put £30 into some other parts that improve performance or fix broken parts rather than get a new body. Thanks

I've personally fixed bodies that were in 3 pieces.

Shoe Goo and dry wall tape is the best method in my opinion.

Some tips here...

Ok, thanks. I will have a look at that now, and see how much of a mess I can make of it!
