About two months ago i put a hot bodies rear undertail on the RC; everything lines up with no problem. I put two fastners through the undertail into the rear tail as per the instructions (the fastners are about 12 inches below the tip of the tail). My problem is the tip of the tail is semi-loose and you can push up on it. The fit is pretty good and the key lock works.

I've thought about useing a clear silicone to seal/tighten the two pieces togehter. Also, thought of using the hot glue gun(thou this idea is getting less and less thought). Another idea might be to drill two more holes closer to the rear of the tail and add two more fastners.

Any suggestions or what I should do????

If I was havig the problem I would add fasteners....
Hot glue doen't hold......
Silicone is messy, but will hold ok if you clamp it for a long duration so the silicone can cure out.
There is a product that they have at Home Depot that is like epoxy (if you plan on NEVER taking it off). It is a plastic adhesive. Cream in color.
If you do use it make sure to scuff up the area were you will be applying the "glue".
Best of luck.
