I figured since USATorque55 brought up the idea of antenna mounting, why not bring up the body posts? What posts do you folks use? Something flexible, i would guess. my tlt landed on its roof tonight and i busted two posts i had on there (longer than stock) from my HPI RS4 Rally kit i had from years ago yet the stock tlt posts have been in numerous rollovers and come away unscathed. They were straight up through the back of the cab of the truck (1/10th stadium truck body), not off of the side like some. So what body posts work best, where, and if you make them, what do you use and how?

I don't have the part number handy, but I use the HPI ones. They're long, have holes along the entire length, and have a hex base.

Lets see....on my TXT tuber I use 3mm screws to hold the body panels on and on the TLT and Clod I use 1/4 aluminum rod sticking out the sides. I shread bodies before I break body posts.
