Well, I was out messin around with my E-maxx, and it landed on it's side off of a 5 foot jump. Needless to say, I broke my front skid plate and bulkhead , but there is good news! I went home pi$$ed off because I didn't have any money to buy new crap, so I took an old solering tip, and melted the piece together, when it was melted together I took an old zip tie and used that as 'solder'. Went back out and it's still holding strong! It may not look pretty, but if you out just to have fun, this is the way to go! I wouldn't reccomend doing this on race day though, just for the simple fact that it might mess up your set-up.

nice one....i might try it oneday

i knwo some parts arent any big deal to repair.....i got an extra few days out of a front arm that i crazy glued back together. it didnt last forever, but while i waited on the new one(or the money for the new one) i was able to still drive.

i bet if you crazy glued and then, do like you said, melt the plastic back together it would hold for quite a while.

Yea, I got done and was thinking I should have done that. Usually I just use CA glue, and that holds.
