Temporary Adhesives

Maybe you could try white glue (carpenter's glue) as doesn't stick so well to plastic and can be removed later, but would be enough to secure the guide pin in place.

For the bodies, what kind of bodies are you talking about?

Look for "E6000" adhesive,...available in the US at Home Depot, Lowes etc.

It is an Industrial strength semi flexible adhesive that is great for plastics/metal/rubber,....it is high strength, can be removed fairly easily, and is resistant to water and most chemicals............perfect for what you are describing,............a go to adhesive for many folks in our hobby.

I have a couple of magnatration 512's that are super loose on the chassis. One's lighted and one's not. The lighted one is the loosest.

One thing to try would be contact cement. Life-Like cars used to come with their bodies stuck on with contact cement, otherwise they would come off if the cars crashed.

Thin double sided tape on the tabs could help.

UV glue. It holds well and is easy to chip off if needed. (Pick up the type with the small application tip.)

Well, that did not work out in testing. It ran like a dog wagging it's tail. Perhaps much less, with equal weighted amounts on both sides.

I'd be concerned about any goober getting hoovered into the armature.

Have those mounting tabs been shaved down? I have a few of those and they are all tighter fitting than most of my A/FX. My Chevelle Stock cars are very loose. I just put a small rectangle of blue painters tape over the mounts before inserting the chassis. Still loose but enough to do the trick.

Google 'Glue dots'. We used them at our HO club to hold bodies on in the event of a crash - and they did! but still allow easy removal for servicing, etc.
