Default body mounts

Im on my first build and going with a 18" pimp cane chassis. I dont know what kind of body mounts to use. Could anybody give me some insite on different options available for mounts on the pimp cane?

Thanks

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.

Default 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.
