Looks cool, but this design tends to crack easily.
Raced it one time and it was falling apart.

Raw Speed RC TLR 8ight-X Nitehawk 1/8 Buggy Body (Clear)
So, originally I hated this body. The quality of the molding is pretty poor, you can see unintended lines in some of the windows, and many small imperfections all over the surface of the body.
That said, when painted, I don't really notice the issues. And above all else, it looks awesome on the car. Will continue running this body for the foreseeable future.
Reinforce around the body pins, shoe goo over drywall tape, and the body seems to be relatively durable. The cab will tend to collapse if you get landed on directly from above, which is a good thing, as you can just pop the body back out. It will then be a bit deformed, but it's better than a hit like that causing mass cracking, as I've seen with other bodies.
Still, it's pretty light weight, expect it to be a wear item. Not a problem for me as I just go with a simple white paint job.
