Default RC BODYSHELLS IN GENERAL..

i was wondering instead of bodyclips holding down the shells, is there a more quicker way and more stylish way to attach the shell to the chassis/
because bodyclips if i speak for most people are a real pain in the bum and dead fiddly. something like a screw cap or clip on the top maybe?

Just replace it. I got mine from tesco. Was about £1.50 for 70ish cm. Usually lasts the life of the shell.

Top tips are to make sure your chassis is perfectly clean (motor cleaner will do the job) and to stick some heavy duty tape to the inside of the shell and stick the velcro to that. Makes the paint much less likely to come off.
