RC10DS Body Mounting

Post by nvxwax »

Ok i think i got the wheelbase figured out (B4 Offset Spindles and axles).

Now has anybody ever mounted a body with magnets? I have a bunch of .25 round rare earth magnets but dont have any ideas on how to mount them on the body posts and body, they are very strong so im lost on what would be able to hold them. Id rather not poke holes in the body lol

Any help would be appreciated Thanks

Neat Idea with the magnets! What about an epoxy?

I agree, a 2 part epoxy should work. Do a test portion to see if it will eat the body.

How about a washer held on with good double sided tape (on the body). Save the magnets for mounting on the car?
