Has anyone marked the holes with a magnetic post kit? Does it work properly with the 2.5mm case? How you marked the holes perfectly guys?

Use Play-Doh ($0.50 a small cup) and make a small pad to place on the underside of body around where you think the posts will go. Mount the body ,Press down and it'll make marks in the Play-Doh perfectly ,to indicate where you should make/drill the holes.

This happens to me all the time bc I get so excited to paint the body, I forget to mark the holes. I put a little shock oil on top of the posts to mark the underside of the body.

Was the 2.5mm harder to cut????I've seen they make 4mm for the fc100...I imagine that would be very hard to cut..

Jup, destroyed one new straight lexan scissors
Don't know anything about a 4mm body but i think it will be made out of lexan and not the strong abs material which the 2,5mm uses.
 
I have pointed caps that fit on the body posts. Can't remember where i got them. Just found these on the web! DYN5145
