Anyone have any luck repairing die-cast components--cracks etc.? If so what
products did you find worked the best? I was thinking jb-weld but haven't
tried it as of yet.

thx

Which die-cast part? Usually when a model breaks a Die-Cast part, we
replace it with an aftermarket milled part.

I recently repaired a cracked block with jb weld..its holding up fine so far
(after 4-5 tanks of nitro)..just used a dremel with a grinding stone and
lightly ground the area over and around the crack..filled it in and let it
dry...then sanded it down a bit...
