New way to protect my chassis

[Hypnotoad]

So i found a new way protect my chassis, skateboard grip tape. Was going to use it for my Taranis radio that I use for my quads, but I figured I'd do something different with my chassis.

That’s a great idea! I never would have thought of that. Do you have a link where I can find it?

 

[Hypnotoad]

Yep, hit up mobgrip.com. They come out with different designs quite often.

Awesome. Thank you!

I am going to guess that stuff will be very durable. I have just always had the impression that a chassis skin not only protects from wear but also creates a smoother/slipperier surface for when you have the occasional chassis slap or ground contact.

Thats stuff...well it looks "grippy" to say the least. LOL

Looks cool!

That is an awesome idea! I also like that you can get it in a variety of designs.

Lol yeah it is grippy. I was thinking about that when i put it on there yesterday. I dont think it'll affect it too much.

Looks nice.

I would have chosen some paint protection film like they use for cars like Xpel or 3M. Those products offer a smooth surface that would reduce drag or getting hung up on things as well as some impact protection. Only thing is that they don't come in anything other than clear film.

They used to make "slip tape" for boards that offered a slick protective barrier for board slides and what not. Not sure if it's still produced tho. Some of the guys used it in the RC application on the WT Forum when the IRC chassis was released.

Hypnotoad probably wonders why his fellow Bashers and racers let him go first. It's to groom where they are running or the track.

Very cool idea though and I bet after a few slaps it won't matter.

I'm just waiting to see what it does after going through some grass lol. Definitely going to look for that "slip tape" and paint protective film once this gets ripped up enough. If this grip tape works good, I might just keep putting it on there.

I still have a full sheet of that stuff, installed the other sheet on my hot bodies ve8 but only got a couple runs on that buggy before I sold it, for the most part it worked great, just wish it was a little sticky-er
