As soon as I find a spoiler I'll use it. The body I bought didn't come with a spoiler, only the wing. I'll probably keep this body until I can go the whole way around the track with only 1 or 2 impacts with the wall before I upgrade.

That was why i went with the Mustang over the Javelin. The whole idea of a front end that had to be glued on "before" I started running into things made no sense for my driving style...

LOL, thats the same reason why i went for the camero body....i was like...wait a minute, i'm using glue before I even race it?...thats not a good sign of longevity

Yeah, sadly I missed that the back end of the Mustang is a glue on as well. Oh well, that will be other people's fault for hitting me.

[QUOTE=kikcaffine;9236996]You know you got that hood love, did I see some goo on shoes?!?
You can make a spoiler from the flashing from your body when you cut it out. There are no spoiler kits for sale per say, people just fabricate them from scrap lexan.
The J71 body because the front bolts/glues on is more for the intermediate to advanced racer. From what I have seen the front is a bit dilicate. Gotta watch the walls with body.
You better start using glue/goo on those VTA bodies before their first race if you want the body too last. Be generous with the the goo. I am sure everyone's cars are underweight, so help yourselfs out and be generous with the goo...

I went to the walmart on bellsferry and looked all over..no shoo-goo..looked in the paint aisle, looked in the arts and crafts aisle, looked in the office supply aisle, looked in the show aisle...no shoo-goo. as for application, I consider the body itself a shoo-goo mold.

I made mine from the wing actually, as it is pretty thick lexan. the back part of the curve is actually my spoiler, and a thin bit of flashing is where it mounts. The CA does weird things to lexan though, so I need to pick up some shoe goo at some point.

Thanks for the shout out. Can pretty much do any of the logos you may need. I've done a Mello Yello and a Bass Pro Shops themed truck and had all the sponsor logos along the side.

wal mart doesnt sell it anymore. you have to get it online, hobbytown or from a shoe store.

here is the under side of mine....its has a dab of gu on each corner and its been in every HPI VTA that I own...

also sometimes you have to ask the mgr for the sho-goo, cause its a sniff item

i will have my driver figure with me on saturday mounted in a camaro if anyone wants to see how it is mounted to the body.

Also here is my almost finished J71. I like the body but i hate how the front end mounts. Tough call if i will ever buy one again.

what didnt you like...was it hard to mount?...I havent started on mine yet...

Its not hard to mount, but they only give you like a 1/4" area to mount the screws to the front bumper to hold it secure. Using 6 total screws. Also you have to use shoe-goo to help hold it together also. That is a recommendation form Proto-form. Other than that the body is very well design and has very good flowing lines like the camaro.

got the Javelin painted and driver figures installed. used an old chassis standoff post and screws to attach it to the chassis. Tires glued and painted the side wall wording and put a pinstrip on the wheels edge.

now need wiating for the Havok and SS 25.5 to arrive. If they arrive by Tuesday I should have the car ready for Wednesday night!

Well that and trying to figure out how to mount over 100 grams to make the 1550 figure.
