For hobbyists wanting to protect a polycarbonate shell without altering its look, the Tamiya 54784 - RC Body Reinforced Clear Type OP-1784 is a practical choice. The transparent tape is meant to reinforce the spots that take the most abuse, such as wing mounts, fender ridges and roof edges.
This reinforced tape is 35mm across and 50cm long, convenient for cutting into short repair pieces or longer protective strips. Apply to known impact zones to help prevent small dents from becoming full cracks. Because it is clear, it keeps paint and sticker detail unobstructed.
Use this tape if you run on stony trails, rough backyards or in tight club races where light collisions are common. Targeting reinforcement at stress points can extend the usable life of your shell and reduce replacement frequency.
