Depends on your body, but I used the TLT ones with no problems. Losi also sells some that work with the hole spacing on the SW2. These are both for top mounting, don't know about side mounting options.

well if your using a body w/ flat sides like a bronco you can run posts out the sides. or what I did on both of mine was to cut pieces of delrin rod to the length I needed than I bolted a plate to them and just attatch the body w/ velcro. this way you don't have any post or bolts sticking out thru the body to get hung up on, or crack your body out. if you want I can post some pics when I get home from work tonite.

Parma generic body posts come in many lengths starting at like 1.5" up to like 5" in half inch increments...made in USA, black plastic, drillable for side or top mounting and easily trimmed to length.

I'm going to do a variation on the velcro type set up. I'm going to have posts comeing off the chassis like above, but with thin aluminum angle bolted to it. The angle will let the body rest on it and I'll probably use some small screws to attach it...the weight will be held by the angles. I'd also like to use the angle to mount some "rock sliders" to, but mine will probably end up looking like a simple nerf bar! |
