Was as brittle as an egg shell. I wouldn't buy unless they can confirm that they have addressed the brittleness issue.
Great product would buy again, Fast shipping.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Painted a new body,basically destroyed after one night of racing. Very brittle Latrax should be ashamed to sell a body like that. Apparently this has been an on going for quite awhile so I'm sure the issue will not be addressed .
The body looks good, especially of you tape up the windows before you paint it, instead of using window stickers. But like mentioned before, the clear body is really brittle. I have bought and painted 3 or 4 of them now, all are broken and cracked, except for the original body.
Reviewers of the Traxxas LaTrax 1/18 Rally Body (Clear) agree that the clear body is very brittle, with two reviewers reporting cracking or destruction after painting or a single night of racing. One reviewer says the brittleness has been a long-running complaint, and another would not buy until the issue is addressed. Paint and window masking are noted as workable, and one reviewer praises the body's appearance and fast shipping. Ratings split between 1 and 5, but the brittleness concern is the recurring theme. Four reviews only, so confidence is moderate.
