I have a RC12R5.1 and RC12L4. The L4 body is not too bad, but the R5.1 body is trashed. Both cars could use a new body. Is there a standard body that most people run on 1/12 scale pan cars (similar to the Mazda Speed6 that many Touring cars race with)? I was thinking about the Protoform Speed 12, but I wasn't sure if this was a good choice. Unfortunately I have the first 1/12 scale cars at my track so there is nobody there to ask.
I am still pretty rough on the track, so I would like a body that can handle some abuse without splitting after the first mishap
I tend to apply a thin layer of shoo goo around the areas of most impact and wheel arches,then smooth it flat with finger tip. I works really well if you do it to a new shell and dry quickly. it has totally stopped splitting of the arches on my touring car and also 12th shell. I have used the specific RC lexan repair stuff but doesn't work as well as shoo goo. If you have any splits you can reinforce them with an off cut of lexan from a shell.
