With my current body I chopped of the nose and double layered drywall tape and shoe goo on the body mount holes. Seems to be holding up well.
Side note: I do hate the way Losi nitro bodies comes pre-cut. Plenty of people converting the truggy to electric that would prefer the body not to be pre-cut.
To add on that, I don't think they leave enough material on the nose which also makes the body weaker and more prone to flexing or stretching and breaking off. I also prefer to cut it myself plus I like having extra material when painting to test.

The new proline ions are money!
I was also present, which car was yours?
