|  Hinging the JLU body?
Has anyone come up with a way to put a hinge setup on the JLU body? I hate body clips and want to eliminate them. I know the velcro and the magnet methods. They work ok, but where I drive there are some spots with big rollover possibilities. The magnets and velcro don't hold well. any thoughts and pictures would be awesome. |

This is a lexan body right? I have hinged hard bodies, no lexan yet. Heres my procedure: Screw traxxas part # 3923 into a body post (non existant on lexan bodies) that has to be glued to the body. I would reinforce the body too. Then you need a hinge mechanism. Mechano construction pieces can help. Assemble and done. Still a pretty labor intensive lrocess for a lexan body Last edited by Gula; 10-30-2020 at 09:33 AM. |

Even if you hinge one end, how do you propose to secure the other end? Typically that is done with body clips.
