Just finished my TRX-4 Chassis Built Kit and got an Injora XJ hardshell body in from Amazon, along with the Traxxas 8080 narrow fender liners which definitely helped the body sit on the chassis without any mods(so far).
At this point I'm a bit lost. I haven't been able to come up with a good way to mount the body, but still allow it to be easily removed/installed. Do I cut the tops off the TRX body mounts and use magnets/velcro? Or try to get the flimsy Injora mounts to work?
Bonus Question: Any tips for painting a hardshell body like this? I wanted to paint this one to match my '01 XJ. I don't really have any real painting/sanding experience, but have done a few single-color lexan bodies that turned out decent.
