Dude, that body looks AWESOME in those Red Bull colors....

How much!?!? Do want. Will plaster stickers and logos, everywhere on my cars, pit equipment, and table. Haha. Basically, "will work for food".. But you get the idea

Yeah, both of my bodies do. That's were the first crack will start. A piece litterly fell out and started to crack from there. I got a guy ready to do a custom paint job but I'm not sure I want to since my first one broke so quick. They are good bodies and work well but are thin and that spot must get stretched the most when its pressed in the mold?..

A buddy of mine asked if I could tell my SC10 2w and 4w apart from these pictures. I told him I couldn't. He noticed that the wheel nuts are different colors in the two pictures. Bingo! He was driving the 4w when the pictures were shot.
The one with the silver nuts is the 2w, the front is 3 up (pin only), the rear is 3 up (pin and body retainer).
The one with the blue nuts is the 4w, the front is 3 up, the rear is in 1.
Thank you, I will gladly share for the reasonable fee of three flats of Red Bull Sugar Free.

I believe the performance of the body will out weigh any cracking that happens.

Plenty of clearance for the body pins in the rear. I re-enforce the inner rear fenders, outside the front fender vents with some tape. Also a little shoe goo in the above mentioned area where the cab meets the hood. For the most part the body has some weak area's like all SC body's made and the heaver the truck it is mounted on (4x4 SC) the more damage will come to the body in nasty crashes.

The rear is just like any other SC body I've used. But I wish they were a bit thicker. Like you said Cameron, the main area that needs reinforcement is where the hood and cab meet. Mine is close to being broken in half right there. Going to have to shoe goo and maybe some stickers to keep it together. If they were thicker it would strengthen that area. A little reinforcement and it's good to go. I know it's .040 to keep weight down, but maybe .050 or .060 would add a little more strength?
I've had a lot of people ask about my body and I try to get them to try it, but all commented on how thin it is. Not trying to nit pick, just giving some feedback to maybe help in the future.

I like the performance of the Method bodies and the look. People always think it's too high in the front but it's not. It actually works better than the swiss cheese body I had before.

) Maybe Method should try and make a light and heavy versions for those not like me that wants a more durable body.

Here is a picture of the Northwest SC Nationals track. The track is 175 x 95 and the front straight is looooonnngg. I did some speed runs in front of my house because this track is double the size I normally run on. Running a 6.5 in a 2w truck hitting a bump in the road at an est. 30 mph the front would pull off the ground and then settle back down. Going over 40 easily the truck was very stable. Tells me this body is making down force and not catching air.
I have run other bodies once the front comes off the ground it goes into full on wheelie mode at that speed.
