Has anyone used the createx adhesion promoter? Paintjobs aren't holding up as well as they should. Washing bodies with dish soap and warm water like usual and using a thin layer of e6000 to protect the paint in areas it rubs like I always do. The 1/8 bodies are pretty worn after one race and even my 1/10 bodies are starting to come off. The velcro ripped off with a huge chunk of paint on my 2wd. Still using rattle can bodies I did years ago and these look worse after a few weeks. Some I backed with Tamiya spray cans and some with traxxas paint as it's cheaper and comes in a big can..same result with both.
