Any body post...I use traxxas mounts, mount them center of frame and they are nice and strong, but flexible enough so a roll over and they don't break

| The problem I ran into with Traxxas posts was the length. They were too short for the body I'm going to be using on it. These HPI's are long enough I can leave most of the body intact and not have to trim 80% of it away.

My Pimp Cane did NOT come with body mounts either. I think that may be a cost saving for JP and not the customer. Carl |

| pimpcane
I made my pimpcane myself for $20 I got enough material to build at least 6 depending on length. It includes a 8 foot length of 1/2" channel for 9 and some change and nylon bolts and square nuts. It is exactly like the pimpcane jp sells,but only cost me around 3 or 4 dollars total for one.
