MAZ Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 I've got a basher shell that I'm going to be using for my hyper ST. The shell was one of the few things from my old rc stuff that didn't get stolen. There were no window masks or decals, literally just an unpainted shell. I've given it a rough spray in white (its not perfect but it'll do) I'm now wondering what I can use to reinforce the shell. I don't particularly want to use shoe goo and dry wall tape. I've seen some aluminium backed tape on ebay This stuff - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/355961722579?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=zzftkrc2sos&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=Yv7kFOI2SSm&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY Just wondering if anyone has used it before? If so, was it any good? Or should I just get some gorilla tape and slap a load of that underneath the shell? What have you guys tried? Cheers for any advice 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locky Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Not tried it, key thing is quality of adhesive and strength of reinforced mesh. Cant tell how thick it is compared to gorilla tape. Is that a JConcepts body shell? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombat Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 I have used gorilla tape on my hpi jumpshot sct and my arrma typhon, and it has held up so well will be doing my rock crawlers as well. One thing that did suprise me was the extra weight just a bit of tape added. It strengthens the body but still allows it to flex 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAZ Posted September 4 Author Share Posted September 4 Theres a white gorilla tape thats available so I'll get some of that. It'll look better having white tape with the white shell 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
