I have heard of rc drivers sand a body, but I have never tried to sand it.

What's the point of sanding the rc bodies?

It is done so that the paint sticks more to the body.

To make the paint stick more on the lexan body.

That's mostly it, but it's not necessarily to sand the body.

Most people recommend that you clean the inside of the bodies with soap and water so the paint will adhere to it better. Some say that a light sanding with some fine grit sandpaper is good too.

Won't sanding the body scratch the inside of the body?

I'll just stick to cleaning the body, don't want to risk scratching the body.
