Typhon Typhon Front Body Post Replacement or Upgrade

[parcou]

Question Typhon owners

I don't own a Typhon 6S but my friend does who I was bashing with on his farm today. His front body post keeps coming out. We put a little CA glue on it but it still comes out.

Are there any better options or upgraded parts like an aluminum post that he can upgrade to? Only stock?

Thx

I'm a neewb as well but I think you can change all the mounts by changing the shock towers and using the proline kit. Then u can even use other bodies as well I believe. A more vet person can answer better than me I'm sure.

I swear I've seen an aluminum front mount for the Typhon but so far all I can find is the rear.

CA a small piece of zip tie in there. Wait a day for it to cure, then install it back on. You can also try toothpicks or aluminum foil, but I like the zip tie method.

I had the same issue with my new typhon 6s. Haven’t tried to fix it yet, got busy with other stuff. The screw from the post actually snapped off on the body mount so I need to drill it out I guess

Let your friend know that if the body doesn't fit right to inspect the chassis support posts and the plastic part in the rear of the car that the rear post attaches. That is what broke on mine this weekend along with the post.

GPM makes an aluminum one.

The part that broke on my Typhon is part of the AR310854 assembly, I tried to fix it with JB Weld, but that is not going so well. All of the upgraded parts I can find require the use of the stock part.
