My masking might have been on the body for a while, hence it sticking super well.
Found out last night that using a hair dryer to heat the glue under the film helps it come off a lot more cleanly. Just FYI in case anyone else gets the same as me

Buddy painted up a new body for my "new to me" TC7.1. Ready to get the gear in it (should be here Tuesday/Wednesday)









Asked him to do a Gulf Racing color/scheme, think it came out excellent.

Thanks for looking.

Considering no one can (or maybe I'm an idiot You know that desperation when you actually get to page 2 on Google) no one can find a P-Zero in America right now... I hope sales exceeded your expectation. Now the debate: do I order for $50+ from overseas and pray they don't come back in stock before the body arrives lol I assume the same thing will happen to the XT6 before the ROAR Carpets pass and we're ready to order one (translation - I hope my wife lets me order one before she tallies up how much Snowbirds and ROAR cost her)

In all seriousness - good job on the body. You shouldn't have to justify yourself to anyone. If they want headlight stickers - they're easier to find than a P-Zero.

But if there is an extra one, please hit me up, I won't tell anyone. I can tell you my story and make you cry and everything. Set up a lay-away for the XT6, it'll be awesome.

*whispering* Seriously... if you have one laying around. I can keep a secret, I still haven't told anyone that Vader is Luke's father or Miley Cyrus was Hannah Montana.

I did find it at RCMart. $38.88 shipped. Of course, it could be here by Saturday or by 4th of July...

Was being humorous in attempt to find out when new stock is being shipped.

I shouldn't need until around the 2nd week of January, but considering the three new batteries and three new motors sitting on my bench. And we haven't gotten to my birthday or Christmas yet - not gonna press my luck with the boss. I'm disabled and she picks up OT to pay for my hobby.

Althou - if we get past New Years Mr. Scargoes and I'm at Tyrone Biggum Stage trying to get one - I'll be in touch. (Or run the same Cadillac everyone else does) **Seriously thou, who buys that many extra? Man, if I had that type of budget. I borrowed from 2018 to get ready for the birds.**

Can the Caddy and get the PF C7R Vette, it handles better and is more stable than the Caddy.....it should get you by until the P-Zero is back in stock......just saying.

I've been very impressed with all aspects of the Vette body.

How’s the Exotek body compared to the PF bodies? Handling and lap times

I thought the Vette was more for Black Carpet? We're still running the Grey Ozite.

The easiest way to remove it.....
Masking tape.
Just dab the tape against the residue and it’ll lift right off.

They are really just unused at the moment. I have several USGT cars that I tend to loan out at times to friends who want to run with me on race days. With that said, bodies tend to get trashed quickly.

You may want to try to contact someone from NORCAR in Ohio. They had the hobby shop for the US Indoor Champs and had a ton of P Zero bodies. Try in the Indoor Champs thread.
