![]() I'm not sure this is the right place but, how can I fix a large rc car with a plastic body that's cracked on the underside in multiple places? Would I just melt it together or what?

![]() You talking about a Lexan body right?
How bad are the cracks? You could probably just use a two part epoxy to seal them up.... but I want repaint it first and then apply.

![]() Try using a Styrene welder like this one:
![]() It may damage some paint, but it can chemically "melt" the plastic and let it set so it reforms like new ![]()

![]() that could come in handy in alot of places on this thing, how fine is it? as in, if i tried to mold a door handle back together (it snapped in half) would it be able to do that without wrecking it? the handle is about a thumbs width long, and apout 3mm wide.

![]() It might damage the paint, and because it "melts" the plastic, it'll sort of make the plastic ooze out of the joint that you "weld" together.

![]() I dunno :/ I've only done repairs to items that can't really be seen such as pieces of styrene (sanding will fix the ooze) and a rear clip.
