Absolutely pal, I'm working on it this weekend! 🤙

Put Chap-stick on the upper surface and sides of the lower magnets (the ones that attach to the chassis.) That will keep Shoe Goo, epoxy, gel CA or whatever from adhering to those magnets. Then click the disks that will be glued to the body onto the lower magnets. Make sure you don't get any chapstick on the upper disks. Then put your dab of shoe goo on the top surface of the upper disks and place and align your body where you want it. Once the adhesive had cured, the disks will be adhered to the body and held magnetically to the body post. This is especially useful when you're mounting a body that wasn't designed for the chassis you're using. I used that when I mounted a Bullhead body on a custom rail-type chassis.

That's a heck of a good tip! Had to read it three times to wrap my head around it, lol! (I haven't had my morning coffee yet!) 😉

Like the clean look of magnetic mounts on a nice body like that one. Not sure how they are going to hold up under moderate use though.

They can't handle much of a bump, as the body weighs so much. As long as I drive carefully, they're good to go.

Nice fandangling on the rear posts dude! if it don't work..... Mod it!

Nice results with the red and no flames. Seems the wheel base can be 5 to 10mm longer. The front and rear wheels look to be a bit in.

I thought about that. Also considering installing oil filled shocks and lowering it a bit with them.

Lots of test fitting. Measure, cut, test fit until you reach the desired height. 👊
