A different kind of body mount, quick release.

[44Dan44]

Saw this on the bookface, credit to Bryant if you are on here, interesting idea. Quick release body mount.
I could see it working nicely on a street runner and I could see it as way to extend the life of a body shell that has cracked around the body mount holes. Bashing? who knows.

That’s pretty cool…. I wouldn’t mind them for my rusty infraction. Give it a more realistic look after I rust then up some!

Love these. Are you going to try them out? Anyone know if the body flies off at 100kph?

Yes!! painted to match or as-is on a black body.

@21STalion Unknown, first time I've seen them, I really like the potential here though.
Magnetic is all the rage in scale world and crawlers but a magnet strong enough to hold for speed runners or extreme bash would end up destroying your body just trying to take the body off. With these, the mechanical connection is there.
The brand that shall not be named clipless system is garbage in my experience, this could be the perfect in-between solution.
My gears are spinning on making this work at the rear of the Typhon, possibly a great battery clearance solution too with the adjustable height. A small L bracket off of the shock tower would do the job.

I come across this same post on “bookface” it definitely got my attention and I may order a set! These would be really nice on my Speedrun rig.

An interesting idea for sure. My primary concern on a basher I think would be dust making its way into the mechanism and making it hard to depress the button enough to release the clip, but I'm intrigued enough to order a set and give them a shot.

Here are the full specs in case anyone needs them.

more in a second.....
And the last 5

Nice! Mine will be here tomorrow!

They "feel" pretty substantial. I think it's going to be just fine at speed.

Been watching this thread. Definitely has a cleaner look than any pins!

I ran across a post about those as well, also on facebook. People were using them on their x-maxx's because they were tired of the bodies popping off when crashing or landing a big jump. If they hold up to xmaxx bashing... they should hold up to most anything.

I thought about messing with them on my maxx, but after using a couple velcro straps to the nerf bars->roll bars, seems to be an effective fix for the issue.

Look great. I'm confused on how the mount/replace the body posts? Post more pics if you can. Looks really cool.

Looks good! How tight does the threaded post fit into the body post hole? Does it fit pretty snugly, or does it rely on the bolts to sandwich it to eliminate side-to-side movement?

Interesting..
So, for retention is it magnetic or mechanical , or both?

Mechanical. The "ball" end slips into a cup, and then is released by pushing the button.

Looks to be mechanical.
I've seen these before . Just that they look very heavy for RC use? Seems it can be used for scale auto's.
But very neat and probably very strong and functional.
