My rear tab broke
One half of my rear tab snapped off. The one where the heat sink lock goes into. How do you fix it?

Thats a relly good suggestion (sarcasm) That happened to me too. If you can't clip the motor down then just tape the heat sink

Use scotch tape to tape down the heat sink,
BUT make sure you trim it down or else the body won't sit on the chassis correctly.
Good Luck

CA Glue will fix it. Its like super glue bet a bit thicker and not as brittle.
My current bit I actually cut off the front and rear tabs and re-glued them back on lower down with CA glue. Allow to dry and tidy up with a file and its has strong as before.
My first bit I lowered the body by cutting slots in a different place and trying to repair the old slots and paint it. It looked poo, because I am no good at painting and body repairs.

What does CA glue stand for. I used some epoxy and its kind of gooey. It holds pretty well, but not as strong. You can see the tab bend a little bit when the heat sink is on.

After looking on google:
Cyanoacrilate (super glue, AKA CA)
Apparently its used more in 1/10th RC for sticking tyres to rims.

If it is stronger than super glue, where can you get it?

While doing some of my customs , I found it necessary to remove
that tab . I then glued the motor in place . It works fine , but
I suggest you glue a motor that you don't plan to remove again.

Quest for Madness sells bare chassis for $5, you might have to pick up a matching controller too, which is also $5. I am suffering from the same problem. I am tired of regluing the tab. I spend more time gluing than running it seems.
