- Traxxas X-Maxx Dry Wall Tape and Gorilla Glue Body Reinforcement!
In this video I repair and reinforce my new (used) Traxxas X-Maxx 8s body shell. This is the first time I have ever used this method. I learned a lot! Hopefully watching my video will help you with your RC project!
After three weeks of hard use I'm happy to report that the body is still in good shape with no new damage! stay tuned for a long term review.
Items used:
Drywall Tape
Gorilla Heavy Duty Construction Adhesive

Thank you for this video. I bought the same material yesterday. I’m setting up our Slashes
Thank you for watching! Just a heads up! It's not a fun project and it will add weight. I feel like in the end it was worth it on the X-Maxx but your mileage may vary. I'm not saying don't do it! Just being transparent with you. Thanks again for watching!
How did it go for you?
Does the Gorilla glue you used have a strong toxic smell when applying? Shoe Goo needs well ventilated space and would be nice to find something else that’s not so toxic.
For liability purposes I would say use as the manufacturer suggests on the container. My personal experience is, you can smell the product but it isn't overwhelming. I did my project in my basement. The tube actually says low odor right on it and it is made for interior home repairs.
How did this hold up for you?
It's good. I haven't tried the shoe goo so I can't speak to what's best. I will say I learned a lot on this project and would do it differently if I had to do it again. I would cut much smaller strips of the tape so it would lay down better. I would also maybe spray a light high tack or something to hold the tape before the goo is applied. I've seen some use hot glue. I would also use a lot less goo and or go thinner with it. Pros- definitely a lot more durable. Cons-time-consuming, not a fun job, very heavy. I'm not sure if this is the product I used or just the nature of the application.
I'll make a TH-cam short of how the body looks now after a lot of bashing. I'm sure you've seen some of my shorts of how I treat the truck so you can get an idea of how well it's working.
tried dry wall tape and glue today, NEVER again, next time im just using gorilla tape black, not wirth the work in my case, rather buy a new shell
It is not fun. Did you do it in small sections or glob and go?
@@RebuildRC-1843 glob and go, if i did it again id use small strips instead but either was, ordered tape and will sort tomorrow.
For sure I would do small parts at a time if I did it again. I did not enjoy the project but I will say in the end I'm happy I did it. Hopefully you will feel the same way.
@@RebuildRC-1843 Thanks m8. Maybe another day
Thats exactly what I think, just get a new shell for £30 to £40 quid
Ain't worth the hassle
Shoogoo and dry wall tape costs over £25 ain't worth the grief
