Here you go. Straight from Bob. Just grip with some needle nose pliers and it pops right off.

What is the best way to reinforce a body so it doesn't crack at the front wheel arch? I've seen shoe-goo, extra bands of lexan, cutting a flex point into the arch, glue and fiberglass sheet, and it seems like the body still cracks right at the top of the wheel arch. Any success stories to share?

Hi, I got a question.
I'm going to drive the corally 12SL indoor this winter, but now I have a question about the centershock, what other shocks can be used on the 12sl?

I use Zapp a Dapp for the weak points of the body, it last longer and it doesn't crack in one crash.. ( hard crashes not tested )

Corally uses the nice and easy threaded ball end on the shock of their car, so any shock that uses the same should be easy to retrofit, like the old style associated shock or CRC's Encore shock.

It does a decent job of holding your body together but its not "bullet proof". However its better than Shoe Goo because it doesn't add much weight.

Have you tried putting a bumper on the car? That way your body won't compress so hard on impact.

I used the oval shaped pieces of tape in the Parma body repair kit, and they seemed to work quite well.

The extra weight helps keep the front end planted.:weird:

I use wallboard repair mesh tape and a thin coating of Shoe-Goo, doesn't add a lot of weight and works really well.

In terms of the ROAR regionals, do they really care which regional you go to? I am thinking of going to the one in Chino CA, (I think its in October) but I live in Arizona and therefore I should technically go to another region, do they care?

Pretty sure you can race at any regional's :deathstar

With turnouts not so massive like 12th used to be I'm sure they'd appreciate more drivers than less but I dunno...lol

Kidding, I would probably qualify no where near the A main.
