A different kind of body mount, quick release.

[LibertyMKiii]

Love the look, I think I'll order a few also.
Going to experiment on a Kraton 6s basher

Thank you for the feedback.

Good to know.

I may try some of these in the future with my on-road rigs.

When you look at them online, people use them for hood latches, mount quarter panels, wing mounts, etc… so guess they are pretty over engineered for our use… so that’s good, but not probably gonna works for ever one….

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.

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.

I like the idea and the look, but once you commit, those are some pretty large holes that have been made, so you have to hope it works out. I might buy a set to try on an older body first and see how it goes. Nice find @44Dan44

They look robust for sure. And very neat and streamlined. Little protrution above the chassis. I bet they will work for sure. Over engineered for RC perhaps. A plus?
I just wonder if they make a smaller and lighter version of this? That's all.

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?

Unfortunately it has some slack. The threaded post is smaller then a body post. But it comes with 2 serrated locknuts that lock it pretty good.

Yeah that’s the part I don’t like. Now if someone could come up with some smaller styles that would really be cool.

Okay, good to know. I ordered some...I might wrap the part that goes through the mount in tape or strink wrap to tighten the fit.

Another example stolen from the bookface, credit to Beau if you are here. Love the outside the box thinking.

 

[ChicagoJT]

I just ordered them for my Talion.

Mine came in today and my jaw dropped at the size hole I would need…thanks but no thanks lol

Following. These are cool

I found some slightly smaller 22mm ones.

Was there any updates to this?

 

[Dan B.]

Several people here use them and like them. I would definitely go with the smaller 22mm ones as mentioned above. Here is a current link for those.

Thanks.

I started using them made a thread about it. Wish I saw this thread earlier. They are so easy to use the clips are literally painful for my hands.

Do you have a picture of how you are mounting the studs? Did you make another part to do this?
