I have and made custom body posts for my Senton 3S. I printed the posts on my 3D printer using PLA. The only problem is I keep breaking the parts. I need to go back to the stock body post due to the amount of stress they endure when landing on the top side. Anyway, the system is pretty cool but you need a different post form stock. IMHO

Anything will break if you drive it wrong enough.

That is a simple mod by drilling a pilot hole and threading it into the top. Th threaded shafts to very tiny.

^^^ Looks like the stock post trimmed off.
I am not a fan of the those body screws. PL can keep'em.
You have to trim the posts on the Arrma's to make them work. The are just cheap long grub screws and a knob retainer nut. A bad design in my book. I never knew anyone who had them and stayed with them. The retainer knobs come off, get lost and strip out. They are a nuisance to install and remove. The body rattles as they tend to loosen. O-ringed or not. IMHO. Stock pins are better. At least for bashing hard. The nuts are not cheap to replace either. Unlike Body pin clips.

Yep, I will be doing that. I made a position change (front/back) using my 3D printed posts for the new body.
RE: the rattle or loosening of the nut
I have no issues with that, I printed a washer that allows for a snug fit and the nuts do not come loose. Granted, I'm not hammering on my body/posts since I have it set up on my Senton 3s.
