Default Body mount with Velcro using 3D printed parts or other method?

Anyone mounted the body using Velcro and a custom body mount? I found a 3D printed mount for SCX10, didn't fit the II.

Is that better than the pins? Probably will look better. My question is is it easier to mount with Velcro? Or is it not as sturdy?

Before drilling the holes wanted to see...

Thanks

I was thinking of trying these. Scroll down and it tells you what size you need for the 10.2.

im using the Incognito Body mounts and love the look of not having the post through the body and the velco holds pretty well. if you get the one for it recommends for the front of the scx10 II you need to use the other body posts that come in the extra parts tree the bent ones can kind of see it in the picture.
well after looking he may have changed it either way you should have the right posts either way.

It's not 3D print but it work great. It's 3mm polypropylene that I drill hole for the body post and that's it's.

I use them, have never had an issue with any body mounted with them. Some of my homebrew Velcro methods however, have failed, lol.

I tried it for a while. Its ok if you are a careful driver. A good tumble will pull it off. I went back to the posts because it was getting to be a pain fixing it on bad rolls. The other guys I go out with had to wait for me to fix it a lot.

I like the no-show body mounts.

Question - I'm seeing 2 batteries in there. Can you explain which ones are powering what parts?

I use bolts through delrin probably because I can't afford the body coming off during a SORRCA course.

I tried industrial velcro with aluminum plates for a while, I didn't like it after all. If you are crawling a lot, most probably you will fall and roll down a few hills, hitting the body, and in time the velcro will get loose. The other thing, is that if you add plenty of velcro can be very strong, but what happened to me is that the velcro stick ripped off the paint of the body in a big fall... After all, post are the most reliable

If you have a hard body like Justin, adding side post is a good idea, but try to add some support on the top also to avoid beaking the body

I hide my posts under scale stuff so they really are not noticeable.
