Any suggestions on any paste, silicone to apply to the front or of side of the body (inside) to prevent it from cracking, breaking,etc ?

I have a few and the bodies are so thin, i dont see the sense in making these bodies so thin.

Lexan bodies are fairly durable, at least more durable than the butyrate bodies that were sold in the mid '60s. Lexan bodies are sometimes sold in different thicknesses, you may be able to find the style that you like in a thicker version.
When I was racing 1/24th commercial raceway cars those could get scrunched up in a crash, I used fiberglass reinforced packing tape on the inside of my bodies for more strength.
