| Body Mount Post?
I decided I want the Pro-Line K5 body. What do I need to do on my pro to switch from vertical body mounts to the horizontal type that come on the standard mini crawler? Thanks

fab up a solid piece of plastic or delrin to hold the TVPs together. in the middle of that, drill/tap holes for screws, that go into the body posts.

Well I went ahead and ordered the Pro-Line K5 for my mini pro. I'll post some pictures as soon as I get it mounted up and painted.

Advantage to side, over vertical body mounts? I see plus's and minus's to both actually....

I liked horizontal on the bug body I had. It was less noticable than vertical posts sticking out the top.

Vertical body mounts restrain the kits ability to roll back on its tires. positive side i see is that it wont get caught while going through a course. | |
