Front Clip Broke!

[Zero_172]

I have a Yellow Skyline, i just recently bought. The front Clip on the actualy body itself broke. (not the front body kit) I superglued it together and directly to the body kit. Would this be fine I know i can't take the front body kit off but thats not a big deal but should i have used super glue?

use blade so you can start shaving off the bits for the glue dried up and yes u shuda used super glue

Well, you can order a new body from RS' special order system, otherwise cut it off and re-glue.

My Corvette body I'm doing has all of the body clips glued into place with superglue, in some testing I jumped the hose barrier on my floor track and wacked my table saw pretty hard, nothing broke but I can see the problem, they can't be changed if they do break.

Mines not that great, table saw and a small lathe, I had made some rocking chairs in HS many, many years ago, I thought that once I got into a position to get the tools to make them again I would. So about 20 years ago off I went to Sears with my credit card. In 20 years I made 5 as gifts, the last one was 8 years ago. I will be using it again to make the XMOD track though, I'm still drawing up the plans for the banked turns. I want about a 13 degree bank, so just about any class of car can go wide open all the way around one section of the track. I made a 1/32 scale 10 lane slot car track that would have been perfect for racing XMODS on, I'm considering that, made in bolt together sections that can be moved by truck. The concrete track we have is about a 95' lap, or half a mile, I'd like the road course to be at least that but space will dictate what is ultimately done, but it'll be at least 50' laps.

But I found a new problem if this happens to anybody reading my post. Check your side skirts screws! Thats exactly how my front clip broke. The screws were not down all the way and it was not aloowing the chassis to come free from the body so the result was destuction of the clip!
