Ok, so I am trying to stick a longstrike stock onto a stampede I am modding. The plan was to cut the stampede battery box area off (like the SMG mod), shear the top of the longstrike stock to make it flat, and epoxy or bolt it on. The stampede went fine, but while cutting the top off the longstrike stock it cracked, so one side is about 3/4 inch lower than the other side. Is there some kind of thick strong adhesive I can fill this gap in with? Not sure if epoxy putty would work, as I have never used it before. Any advice would be appreciated!

Epoxy Putty would be my choice for a sturdy gap-filler. Just put a large block in the gap and then you can sand it down to the required level once it has cured.

The other alternative would be filling the gap with plexiglass / polycarbonate but that would require machining, and is not rally worth the extra effort.

Bolt on the Long Strike stock, then use epoxy putty or Bondo to fill the gap/cracked area. Using bolts and mechanically fastening the stock onto the stampede is far superior that using any type of adhesive to hold it on.
