Body is shot. Cracks all the around all holes. Tried to reinforce with tape but it raises the body so the pins can't go through the posts. What can I do in the future to reinforce this area? Yes, my son does flip the truck a lot. This part of the body is the weakest part of the whole electric truck. :(

well if its the stock body then thats normal. But if its a good body, then in the future i suggest u make the holes as small as possible and use those little white circle thingys. You can put on ur body, then put on the white circle things, then last ur body clips cya.

In the future, super-glue those little white body disks to the body around the holes. That should give a little renforcement to that area. Another good thing to do is to apply shoe-goo to other vital areas. Hope this helps you out!

You can also paint the inside of the body with thick, clear acrylic and it will really strengthen you body.

Is that a spray? Is there a specific brand?

Thanks for the replies. I was wondering what those white disks were for.
