Judging from the temp, hell!
I went out to get my Rampage out of my truck today, and found the body to be a blob of plastic. I have left lexan bodies in cars before with no problem, what the heck are these bodies made of, has to be the same material as shrinky dinks.


Hopefully I will go to Redcat tommorow and they will give me a replacement, as I haven't even got to run the truck body yet.
 
What could have caused this. Residue heat from the exhaust? Heat from the environment outside the car?What?:confused:I guess if you leave the windows of your car tight shut with no air circulating within, the heat from the exhaust of the rampage combined with the temperature could've melted the body. Me thinks the body aint that strong. :(
 
Definitly the heat, Phoenix in the summer the temps stay between 115-120 degree's, and was even hotter inside the cab of the truck.


I have left my 1/8 scale bodies in there like that with no problems.


No exhuast ever touched the body as I have never ran the car with this body on it.
 
Darin @ Redcat will take care of you I'm sure, these guys are first class. Will summer ever be over ???? I'm not looking forward to comming back to Phoenix. Hangin on the beach in Sandiego. I have my truck here and I don't think they like me running it up and down the alley here. Oh well this thing goes where I go lol..... Mama thinks I'm nuts.
 
I had mine in the back of my truck, but the body was in the cab... I caught it before it got too bad, but yes it will melt if left in a car... I even had a small window open, but was still hot enough to soften the plastic and let it bend...

The body on my truck is getting warped from the heat comeing off the x-can. Is Redcat working on getting the bodies made of better lexan?
