Tried it out with a AFX Datsun 510 on a Magnatraction, and it runs noticably better than it does with a "tight" 510 body on it. I had that poor body in a small clamp for months hoping to tighten it up too :) If the rattle annoys you, a dab of Shoe Goo or the snot that LifeLike uses should quiet them down. videojimmy 02-24-2009, 12:59 PM I put a twistie around the whole body, twist it tight so the sides of the bottom of the body starts to pull closer to each other, then I let it sit in REALLY hot water, or put in on top of the water heater for a few days... let cool, remove twistie and WHAMMO!... the body fits tighter copperhead71 02-25-2009, 11:42 AM Thanks for the tips guy's!They(the bodie's) don't rattle yet-they just slightly twist. copperhead71 03-02-2009, 08:51 PM I put a twistie around the whole body, twist it tight so the sides of the bottom of the body starts to pull closer to each other, then I let it sit in REALLY hot water, or put in on top of the water heater for a few days... let cool, remove twistie and WHAMMO!... the body fits tighterOh yeah it works! vBulletin® v3.8.7, Copyright ©2000-2012, vBulletin Solutions, Inc.
