I actually am a bit of a fan of the proline body mount system....the one with a grub screw at the top and screw on caps. Takes a little linger to take the body on and off, but not much and provides better body protection to imo. I haven’t been on there website for a while to have a look but doubt they make them for Arrma

Because of the shock towers and the wing, the body on the Typhon doesn’t really take much abuse on flat surfaces. Obviously on uneven surfaces this may not apply.
Wondering why the OP needs more height? Is it for fans or larger ESC?

Follow.. My left rear needs to be pushed down hard for it to fit when usein my 4s gensacearespammers hardcase packs
Yep same here when using a 6S Graphene Panther battery, ...also the right hand side does rub against my fans ever so slightly.

Due to my left rear bein pushed up slightly.. My right front gets push down some.. My steering bellcrank rubs my body.. Scratching it
Yep had that problem too.
I put a sticker on the inside of my shell to try to protect the paint from damage.

How much do you want to raise it? Cause.. I was lookin at my car.. And if your not afraid of drilling a couple of holes..its quite an easy job..
There are 4 screws holding the body mounts..
Forget about the bottom one.. Make the top one ur bottom one.. Drill a new top one around were my hex is..
Remount them in the new position.. And it will sit as high as shown here (right new/left stock)
@Mike-NLD I literally just did that mod this afternoon and was going to post in this thread to let the OP know.
Great minds and all that.

So I used Kraton mounts the second tallest size, so now I have fan/battery clearance pins are a tight fit. The drilling of holes was good option but had no bits or drill. The side guards are from a Kraton also, They are used to hold 2 venom 3s 5000 50 side by side but height was issue before not no more. Using stock typhon side guards will not look like my height in pic.
