mounting body
Im looking at finding out how everyone mounts there body to their custom truck. I am looking at the proline bronco body. It doesnt matter if you can see the mounts or not. Im just trying to find a way to mount the body. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

RE: mounting body
Depends I've not made a custom crawler/scaler yet, but from the custom RC's I've done I usually look at other RC's to see if they have body mounts I can use to seamlessly fit in with the looks. On a tracked truck/tankish vehicle I made I used delrin rods as the mount points for the TVP's, and I mounted 2 tamiya body mount posts to the top 2. I've also used HPI RS4 on-road body posts a few customs seeing they are pretty generic.

Most people just use the body posts but if your trying for a scale look then you can use Velcro or magnets.
If your asking how to mount a body then let us know and we can point you in the right direction.

RE: mounting body
I like to use standard size servo horns because they hold pretty good,provide a clean looking mount and make it easy to remove the body when you want because the surface is smaller. I simply grind out the center of the wheel, drill a small hole in the shoulder to hold the body clip, shave the top flat, and cover with Velcro
